Computers in writing instruction

For computers to be useful in writing instruction, innovations should be valuable for students and feasible for teachers to implement. Research findings yield contradictory results in measuring the effects of different uses of computers in writing, in part because of the methodological complexity of such measurements. Yet the computer seems to be a promising tool in several new, theoretically based approaches to writing instruction. Research of these kinds of computer applications should continue, paying attention to context variables that influence the implementation process importantly

Effects of Computerized Simulation, Drill and Practice, and Tutorial Instructional Packages on Learning Outcomes of Fine-Arts Students in Nigerian Junior Secondary Schools

It is the desire of every teacher to ensure effective and quality education performance. Fine-Arts is a practical oriented subject. In Nigeria, reports and findings shows that students are deficient in the area of practical especially graphics. Also, the attitudes of some parents towards the subject influence the choice of the subject. The aim of the study was to develop computerized simulation, Tutorial and Drill and Practice instructional packages for teaching Graphics, determine the relative effects of these packages on students’ performance in Graphics,examine the effects of the packages in improving students’ retention of concepts in Graphics, investigate the effects of these packages on students’ attitude to Fine-Arts and investigate influence of sex on students’ performance in Graphics. The study adopted the non-equivalent pretest, posttest control group design. The sample was made up of four intact classes of JSS III students in four schools from each of the four states mentioned above. The schools were purposively selected based on the availability of Fine-Arts studio. One intact class each was selected from the schools using simple random sampling technique. The schools were then assigned randomly to one control and three experimental groups. The study concluded that gender of the students did not have influence on the learning outcomes. In other words, the effectiveness of the treatment was not based on sex. It also concluded that the effectiveness of each of the treatment was not dependent on academic ability and finally that each of the three treatments were effective in improving students’ performance.
