Abstract:

This thesis evaluates the effect on the learning and teaching of gender and gender agreement in French for English speakers of various teaching strategies Implicit, Explicit and Exploratory, implemented as a CALL program, 'Itsicall' (Investigating Teaching Strategies in Computer Assisted Language Learning). It is an original piece of research with school children in London which uses a variety of L2 research methods, i.e. error analysis, contrastive analysis and learner interviews, to inspire the design of the computer program , which teaches the concepts of Gender and Gender Agreement in French in the three modes selected, Implicit, Explicit and Exploratory. The design of the gender teaching program was motivated by a series of preliminary investigations, which lead to the accumulation of a rich source of data on the way school children perform and acquire concepts prominent in another language and provides many insights into the difficulties encountered by children Vying to grapple with the concept of Gender, under represented in the English language and primordial in French. The program was then tested and evaluated in an exercise which provided further invaluable data for Second Language Acquisition Research, Second Language Teaching and Computer Assisted Instruction, taking into account the answer to the original research questions and the opinions of the children who tried out the program. The account of this empirical work, which reveals the potential of exploratory computer environments is then followed by an analysis which incorporates all the findings of the previous experiments into a critical evaluation of the merits of Implicit, Explicit and Exploratory teaching of grammar rules in a CALL environment.

Abstract:

Two methods for improving the quality of Computer Assisted Instruction are examined. They are: using Intelligent Computer Assisted Instruction techniques to make the CAI system more flexible, and using graphics to increase the efficacy of teaching. Two computer systems for teaching the Logic Programming language Prolog were developed. The first is an ICAI system which uses the prerequisite relationships of the course material to plan a course of study. It distinguishes between methods of instruction and topics of instruction, giving students a great deal of freedom in choosing either one. The second is an animated trace which graphically illustrates the execution of Prolog programs. Information is displayed in three windows — one for Prolog goals, one for the database, and one for output from the program being traced. Results indicate that ICAI and graphics can both be used effectively in the teaching of programming languages, particularly in combination.

Luckevich, Diana. "Computer Assisted Instruction for Teaching Vocabulary to a Child with Autism." NSUWorks, 2008. http://nsuworks.nova.edu/gscis_etd/688.

Abstract:

Children with autism have difficulty communicating. Their limited vocabulary reduces their comprehension of language and their use of speech to express thoughts and needs. Increasing vocabulary is important to improve communication skills. These children do not learn language like typical children. They have limited joint attention skills and impaired basic learning skills that impede their communication. Specialized instruction is necessary to help them learn language. They need to be explicitly taught words, phrases, and sentences. Computer assisted instruction (CAI) offers interactive, customizable, and measurable training for learning language. Children with autism can use CAI to learn at borne, in a clinic, and in a classroom. It is readily available and affordable and computers are prevalent. CAL offers repetition, predictability, and interesting instruction that can support individual and classroom instructional goals. The complications, considerations, and possibilities of using CAI in a classroom are explored in this single subject investigation. The use of CAI by a child with autism to learn words was investigated. The First Words II software by Laureate Learning Systems was used in a preschool classroom. The case provides a comprehensive description of the participant including his pre-treatment skills, treatment behaviors, and test results. Four research questions were answered. How does CAI that presents pictures of objects impact the acquisition, generalization, and retention of new words by a child with autism? How does text captioning of pictures presented in CAI affect a child with autism? What behaviors help a child with autism learn new words using CAI? How can a child with autism benefit from using CAI in a classroom? Results gathered from the CAT treatment indicate that the participant made progress toward learning new object labels. Additional skills beyond the content delivered by the CAI were also demonstrated by the participant. These skills included increased motivation, strengthened positive relationship with a teacher, improved joint attention, sustained concentration with an instructional task, and verbal and motor imitation. The participant enjoyed using the CAI l in the classroom.

Abstract:

Better methods for teaching computer science are needed. While no clear winner emerges in studies on the effectiveness of teaching media, the use of several media can be mutually reinforcing. Methods available to computer science teachers include lecturing, giving projector demonstrations, conducting hands-on sessions, monitoring independent study, and making a teaching machine available for group or individual use.A main strength of the teaching machine is its furnishing immediate feedback as students answer its quizzes. Teaching machines can assist in the major components of instruction: presenting information, guiding students, providing practice, and assessing student learning. They may take the form of tutorials, drills, simulations, or games. Good tutorials include directions, presentation frames, quizzes, assessment of student responses (with hints following mistakes), and facility to branch to different parts of the machine. A teaching machine's usefulness may be validated by comparing pre-test and post-test scores, by tracking student performance, and by field observation. Machines may be used solo or as a supplement and used with a whole class or as a means for bright students to forge ahead or slow students to catch up.

Abstract:

Using Carl Glickman's model, the purpose of this study was to examine the effect computer assisted instruction had in teaching Developmental Supervision. The research expectancies were to yield improved supervisory behavior and conceptual understandings of Developmental Supervision, in the areas of style flexibility and style effectiveness. A synopsis of pertinent literature in these areas suggests that the supervisory role of school administrators need style flexibility, .style effectiveness, and the use of technology, computer assisted instruction, as a major component in educational improvement. Thirty-two (N = 32) administrators from a large metropolitan public school system in the south were randomly selected for participation in this study. The subjects were randomly assigned to the control group and experimental group, 16 and 16, respectively. The treatment utilized a three-session workshop format for the experimental group and no treatment was administered to the control group. Using a pre-test post-test design, both groups were administered the pre-test, Leadership Behavior Analysis II, during the first session. During the second session, the control group was given a placebo. The administration of the treatment was conducted by computer assisted instruction for the experimental group only. The disk began with the Supervisory Beliefs Inventory, individually, to ascertain their actual supervisory style; collaborative, directive or nondirective. The second section of the disk addressed training in supervisory style, teacher maturity, and the methodology needed to aid teachers to developmentally improve. The third session was in two parts: The beginning session for the experimental group was a discussion of the Developmental Supervision concepts and the control group experienced another placebo. The final component of the training was the administration of the post-test, Leadership Behavior Analysis II, to all subjects simultaneously. A t-test for independent and dependent samples was used to ascertain the difference between means in the sixteen experimental subjects and the control subjects. The Pearson Product Moment Correlation was administered to the data to determine the strength of the relationships in the control group and experimental group or pre-test and post-test results, respectively. The pre- and post-tests findings on the Pearson Product Moment showed a weak relationship in the experimental and control group. The pre- and post-tests findings, as were determined through the use of a t-tests for dependent and independent samples suggests that the use of computer assisted instruction to teach the key concepts of Developmental Supervision did not have a significant impact on the style effectiveness and style flexibility of supervisors in the school environment. In conclusion, the use of computer assisted instruction to teach key concepts of Development Supervision had no significant impact on the style flexibility and style effectiveness of the experiment group as compared with the control group.

Abstract:

This study considered spontaneous versus feedback induced changes in probability strategies using grouped trials of two-choice problems. Third and sixth grade Anglo and Apache children were the focus of computer assisted instruction and diagnostics designed to maximize performance and measure understanding of probability concepts. Feedback, using indeterminate problems directed at specific strategies, in combination with a large problem set permitted examination of response latency and hypothesis alternation. Explicit training, in the form of computer based tutorials administered feedback as: (a) correctness and frequency information, (b) mathematical solutions, or (c) in a graphical format, targeted by weaknesses in the prevailing strategy. The tutorials encouraged an optimal proportional strategy and sought to affect the memorial accessibility or availability of information through the vividness of presentation. As the subject's response selection was based on the query to select for the best chance of winning, each bucket of the two-choice bucket problems was coded as containing target or winner (W) balls and distractor or loser (L) balls. Third and sixth grade subjects came to the task with position oriented strategies focusing on the winner or target elements. The strategies' sophistication was related to age with older children displaying less confusion and using proportional reasoning to a greater extent than the third grade children. Following the tutorial, the subjects displayed a marked decrease in winners strategies deferring instead to strategies focusing on both the winners and losers; however, there was a general tendency to return to the simpler strategies over the course of the posttest. These simpler strategies provided the fastest response latencies within this study. Posttest results indicated that both third and sixth grade subjects had made comparable gains in the use of strategies addressing both winners and losers. Based on the results of a long-term written test, sixth grade subjects appeared better able to retain or apply the knowledge that both winners and losers must be considered when addressing the two-choice bucket problems. Yet, for younger children, knowledge of these sophisticated strategies did not necessarily support generalization to other mathematical skills such as fraction understanding.

Abstract:

The thesis investigates online teaching and learning and in particular, the role of the 'e-moderator' as pedagogical leader in relation to e-learner capabilities. The research builds upon a number of existing models including that of Bass and Alvolio (1996), their 'transactional/task-giving' and 'transformational/motivational' behaviours, and applies these to e-moderator work. Secondly, a review of the research literature provides further concepts applicable to e-learner online behaviour - collaborative capability and knowledge construction ability. These are utilised to create a new model, the 'model of Pedagogical Variation', where online teaching is viewed as situational, and e-learners of varying degrees of capability can be given opportunities to maximise their online learning. A hypothetico-deductive methodology, following the work of Karl Popper (2002), is adopted as the theoretical framework. The research sought to corroborate the proposed pedagogical model, which was successfully achieved with experienced e-moderator practitioners adapting Kelly's (1955) personal construct psychology using the six elements: socialising, scaffolding, knowledge construction, weaving, summarising and archiving. In accordance with the hypothetico-deductive approach, an evaluation was then conducted with the objective of refuting the basic underlying assumptions of the Pedagogical Variation model. The model did withstand attempts at falsification, but is presented here as provisional, open to further scrutiny, testing and comparison. Future research could be in the development of diagnostic tools for e-moderator evaluation of e-learner capabilities and on e-learner preferences regarding the selection of a particular online learning environment. It is suggested that effective online teaching is dependent not only on e-learner context but also on e-moderators' pedagogical leadership. The model for Pedagogical Variation is an attempt to show how adaptations in design and delivery can be made in asynchronous learning networks in order to motivate and facilitate successful outcomes for e-learners, whether they are digital natives or digital immigrants (Prensky,2001 ). Online course providers and developers may also use the Pedagogical Variation model as a blueprint for exploring creative ways of implementing new emerging learning technologies fit for the 21st Century.

Abstract:

In a description of language, Ellis (1994) claims that "the bedrock of L2 is its vocabulary" (p. 11); while for Lewis (1993), language consists of "grammaticalized lexis", not "lexicalized grammar", and Nation (2001) adds that attention to vocabulary is unavoidable. This status of vocabulary determines its pervasiveness and implies the need for attention as claimed by Meara (1980). In second and foreign language teaching and learning, instruction is an important contributor in the development and consolidation of vocabulary knowledge while Computer-Assisted Language Learning has been described as facilitative in mediating instruction and improving learner independence (Chapelle 1998, 2001; Warschauer, 1998).The present study investigates narrative comprehension, immediate and delayed vocabulary retention as a result of implicit and explicit teaching and learning of vocabulary (Hunt & Beglar, 2005), with a hypertext reading task. Many researchers support that enhanced vocabulary activities and reading for meaning affect vocabulary acquisition (Krashen, 1989, Zahar et al., 2001; Paribakht & Wesche, 1997; Lee & VanPatten, 2003). For others, the degree of involvement in the processing and the noticed properties of words determine the degree of retention (Groot, 2000; Smith, 2004).Seventy-eight fourth-semester students of French as a foreign language from six classes at an American university participated in the study. They were randomly assigned to either the implicit or the explicit conditions, and received differential treatments. The subjects read the same enhanced electronic text with permanently highlighted target items in the explicit condition, and temporarily highlighted target items in the implicit condition. The target items were hyperlinked to the same textual, auditory, and graphic enhancements. The study also makes an overview of the effect of the motivation type on the subjects' performance levels.The statistical analyses reveal both strengths and weaknesses in the two modalities with regards to immediate and delayed retention; as one of the modalities favors immediate gain and the other longer-term retention. It is thus suggested that both modalities can be jointly implemented in a Computer-Assisted Teaching and Learning condition in order to achieve higher learning outcomes. The combination may favor the dual improvement in gain and retention in the learning process.

Abstract:

This study sought to explore the outcomes from the use of a dynamic interactive visualisation tool among novice programmers in an introductory computer programming course. The proposed model, Dynamic Interactive Visualisation Tool in Teaching C (DIVTIC), was designed to use multimedia and visual imagery to provide learners with a step-by-step representation of program execution in the C language as a means of enhancing their understanding of programming structures and concepts. DIVTIC was designed to support constructivist learning principles and combined collaborative and visualisation learning strategies with use of the Internet and the World Wide Web to support the learning of programming. The feasibility and effectiveness of DIVTIC was explored among a cohort of 100 undergraduate engineering students, 50 in a control group and another 50 in an experimental group, studying an introductory programming course at Suranaree University of Technology (SUT) in Thailand, The study found that the use of DIVTIC was a successful complement to conventional teaching. The results clearly demonstrated the advantage of using DIVTIC among low achieving students. The students from this level in the experimental group significantly outscored their counterparts in the control group in the final test suggesting that DIVTIC was an important element in their learning process. Interestingly, these low achieving students used DIVTIC most and achieved highest grades. However, lower achieving students appeared to learn from simply viewing the animations rather than being highly interactive and stopping and starting them consistently. The study found that the visualisation process implemented in DIVTIC could be of considerable assistance to a particular group of students, those with a low GPA, in developing their understanding of difficult programming concepts.
