The article attempts to outline the major components of CALI-AI (computer-assisted language instruction incorporating artificial intelligence techniques). The article begins by discussing briefly the central assumption on which CALI-AI work is based, that is, that human cognitive abilities can be reproduced by mechanical means. It then proceeds to examine the following components of CALI-AI: (1...

This paper summarizes three companion ComputerAssisted Instruction (CAI) case studies in a series for the last several years. These studies were designed to investigate a various of impacts of an Earth Science Computer-Assisted Tutorial (ESCAT), developed by the research team, on students' Earth science achievement and their attitudes toward Earth science in senior high schools.

A high correlation between on-line rate of prog,ess and student achievement on a standardized test was found for a computer-assisted instruction (CAl) program in initial reading. In most cases, CAl measures of progress were better indications of spring test performance than was the pretest given in the fall. Rates of progress in the parts or strands of the CAl program were highly correlated wit...
