CAI integrated
with Lesson
CAI computer learning should not
stop with the drill and practice
activities of students
CAI works best in reinforcing learning
through repetitive exercises such that students
can practice basic skills or knowledge in
various subject areas
In these programs, the computer presents a
question/problem first and the student is
asked to answer the question/problem.
Immediate feedback is given to the student’s
answer.
When and how can
teachers integrate drill
and practice programs
with their lessons?
Use drill and practice programs for
basic skills and knowledge that require
rapid or automatic response by
students.
Ensure that drill and practice
activities conform to the lesson
plan/curriculum
Limit drill and practice to 20-30
minutes to avoid boredom
Use drill and practice to assist students
with particular weakness in basic skills
Tutorial software
should be able to:
Teach new content/information to
students
Provide comprehensive information on
concepts in addition to practice exercise
Can be effectively used for
remediation, reviewing or enrichment
Allow the teacher to introduce follow-
up questions to stimulate students’
learning
Permits group activity for
cooperative learning
Simulation Programs
