This study aimed to examine the effects of Computer-Assisted Instruction [CAI] on the third grade student's learning of area concepts. The method of nonequivalent-group designed in quasi-experimental study is applied. The 60 students from two classes in grade three were selected as the sample, and had been taught for six classes in two weeks. Post-test, delayed post-test and student interviews were analyzed to reveal the perceptions and attitudes towards this approach. To understand the variance of students' mathematics attitude, a survey on mathematics attitude scale was conducted in the experiment group as well.The results show that:1. The CAI is proved to be effective in helping the third-grader to learn the concept of Area by emphasizing the initial concept, Area comparing, and the experiences of area covering measurement.2. The performance of the experimental group is significantly better than the control one in both the post-test and the delayed post-test.3. In the experimental group, the result of post-test of mathematics attitude scale is significantly better than the delayed post-test. |
