Computer Assistance with the Educational Process

This review will focus primarily on theoretical and experimental developments since 1962 that either employ computer-assisted instruction (CAI) as a research tool or focus on CAI as an educational system. The year 1962 was marked by a number of review articles and books (e.g., Bushnell, 1962; Coulson, 1962; Silberman and Coulson, 1962). Since that date a number of review articles have been published, the most recent being by Coulson (1965) in which he reviewed CAI activities as a follow-up to his book. CAI systems, especially in terms of hardware and software components, were extensively reviewed by Dick (1965), Hickey and Newton (1966), and Zinn (1966). In addition, the field has the benefit of an abstracting service provided by the Entelek/CAl Research Abstracts (Entelek Inc., Newburyport, Mass.). No attempt will be made to show the interrelationship between programed instruction and computer-assisted instruction, as these are provided in earlier reviews (Stolurow and Davis, 1965). In addition, descriptive articles covering the potential uses of CAI in education will not be reviewed inasmuch as they were covered in other articles (Gentile, 1965), nor will coverage be given to learning materials that have been prepared for CAI systems since these were thoroughly indexed by Entelek CAI Research Abstracts and Zinn (1966).
