A computer-assisted instruction program to improve arithmetic skills

Includes bibliographical references (pages 89-91)The purpose of this project was to develop a drill and practice CAI arithmetic program for junior high school students. To do this a search was made of the literature on CAI to ascertain the criteria for effective CAI programs. Out of this, a form was developed to evaluate CAI programs and five mathematics programs were evaluated using the form. After the author gained sufficent skill in computer programming, this program was developed using the information gained from the literature and from the experience in evaluating other CAI programs. The programming actually used is discussed and how the program actually appears on the computer screen is described. The final chapter gives the conclusions resulting from the overall experience from doing the project. The program is given in its entirety in the appendix
