Computer-Assisted Instruction in Adult Basic and Secondary Education: A Review of the Experimental Literature, 1984-1992.

Rachal, John R.

Adult Education Quarterly, v43 n3 p165-72 Spr 1993

A review of 12 studies comparing computer-assisted (CAI) and traditional instruction in adult basic and secondary education (ABSE) found that, in 10 of 12, CAI results were at least as good as traditional and CAI also aided retention, self-confidence, privacy, feedback, and faster learning. CAI's place in ABSE is confirmed, but it is not a miracle cure. (SK)
