The Effect of Computer Assisted Instruction on Elementary Reading and Writing Achievement

Abstract

The research investigated the effect of computer assisted instruction (CAI) on elementary reading and writing achievement (ERWA). The sample consisted of 64 first graders (32 in the experimental group and 32 in the control group) in the 2006-2007 academic year. This quasi-experimental study had a posttest only control group design and was conducted during the first semester. The experimental group was taught by CAI and the control group was taught by traditional instruction. Data were gathered through ‘Parent Questionnaire’, ‘Reading Concepts Scale’, ‘Achievement Test’, ‘Reading and Handwriting Observation Form’ and analyzed by chi-square, frequency and t test through SPSS 12.0. The main findings of the study were as follows: (1) CAI affected first graders’ handwriting, reading fluency and punctuation, (2) CAI didn’t affect their writing and reading comprehension, (3) CAI affected ERWA of those who did not have any computer at home.
