Effectiveness of Computer Assisted Instruction on Student Math Achievement - 0 views

  •  
    The study compares students (grade 4) that received traditional instruction to those who received computer assisted instruction (CAI) with traditional instruction for basic math facts. The results show that daily CAI positively effects student math achievement. This study is interesting in that students received 10 minutes of CAI to achieve these results.

As shown in the article, computer assisted instruction had a positive impact on the students' fluency of basic math facts.
