Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) in teaching mathematics among eighth grade level students. The study dealt with the various facets of CAI and their impact on teaching mathematics. The study produced results showing overall growth of teaching and its desired outcome in learning. By the use of CAI, in a short span of time the voluminous concepts in mathematics could be explained with ease. Also, the concentration of students in learning by the students get highly focused on the subject taught which is not feasible in the classical method of teaching. By framing feedback questions, the teacher could assess the knowledge gained by the students immediately after the teaching session.
