A computer-assisted instruction (CAI) module on polymers was used to introduce chemistry teachers (n=64) to the ariety of possibilities and benefits of using courseware in the current chemistry curriculum in Israel. From an analysis of a pre-and post-attitude questionnaire regarding the use of computers in chemistry teaching, it was concluded there was a positive change in teachers' e"..titudes toward CAI and using computers in their classrooms. Teachers indicated that they intended to incorporate the polymer module into their curriculum mainly due to the three-dimensional polymer models, the animation, and the visual effects that explain polymerization and the stretching processes.
