Efficacy Of Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI) In Teaching Social Science To Upper Primary Students

Abstract

Academics face many obstacles in the 21st century. There is overwhelming pressure on today's educators to use cutting-edge methods of instruction to elevate and mould their students' intellectual abilities. The study aimed to determine the efficacy of Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI) on students’ conceptual understanding of Social Science of upper primary students. The study's objectives are to develop lesson plans with Computer-Assisted Instruction packages and determine the effect of CAI on students’ conceptual understanding. The study utilised the experimental method. The study involved 50 sample students. The test of difference between the pre-test and post-test scores was determined. The study concluded a significant difference in conceptual understanding scores among the experimental and control groups, where instruction was given with CAI and without CAI.
