Experimental Evidence on the Impacts of Computer-Assisted Instruction in the Job Corps Program.
Johnson, Terry R.; Geller, Daniel M.
Evaluation Review, v16 n1 p3-22 Feb 1992
The results of a computer-assisted instruction (CAI) project at 10 Job Corps centers nationwide with 5,379 trainees indicate that effects of CAI after about 60 hours of classroom instruction are small and achievement gains are not significantly different from those of students taught conventionally. CAI may help motivate students. (SLD)
