Palaniappan, V.P. 1990. Effectiveness of computer assisted instruction in learning triangles. Media and Technology for Human Resource Development, 2 (2), 97-102.
In this article, the researcher investigated the effectiveness of computer assisted instruction
(CAI) in learning triangles as compared to traditional method. For the study, two groups of students of the same class were formed consisting equal number of both low and high achievers. It was found that there was significant difference between the two groups in achievement scores. The researcher asserted that learning through CAI enhanced better learning than the traditional method. There was also significant difference between the low achievers of both the groups that indicated that learning through CAI enhanced better performance among the low achievers than the traditional method of teaching. The author thus claimed that there was an overall improvement in performance while teaching through
CAI.
