Integration Of Computer Assisted Learning Into The Curricula Of Ethiopian Schools

This thesis is an investigation into the feasibility of integrating Computer Assisted Learningrninto the curricula of Ethiopian schools. It analyses the availability of appropriate andrnsufficient hardware and software, literacy level of teachers and students on computers,rnknowledge and skill of teachers about use of computers for instructional purposes. Thernresults of these factors were used to compare status of the schools with different models forrnthe integration of Computer Assisted Learning into the teaching and learning process.rnThe findings of this study indicated that the use of computers beyond the actual computerrnclasses is poorly exercised. The distribution of hardware and software and computer relatedrnskills of teachers and students are generally low.rnThe comparison of the schools’ status with some models for Computer Assisted Learningrnintegration in the teaching and learning process showed that almost all schools are either atrnthe initial phase or do not correspond at all.rnA courseware was developed for the subject “Int. to Information Technology” for graderneleven. Lesson presentation, dynamic and randomly generated test questions, auto scoringrnand immediate feedback are some of the features of the courseware.rnBased on the results obtained from this study a number of recommendations are given onrnhow Computer Assisted Learning can be integrated in the Ethiopian schools.rnKey words/phrases: CAL, computers in education, CAI, Computer AssistedrnLearning/Instruction, Integration, Models
