The Use of Computer-Assisted instruction in Improving Student Achievement and Motivation in Mathematics 8 at Mataasnakahoy Nhs Duplicate

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

As the researchers experience the low performance of the students as well as their lack of interest and motivation in Mathematics they would like to use the computer-assisted instruction in improving the performance and motivation of the students Mathematics. On the other part, it is clearly seen that the use of computer-assisted instruction is not fully utilized in the classroom wherein Mathematics teachers are not using it every day. This study primarily provides a source of information to know the effectiveness on the use of computer-assisted instruction that can improve the students’ performance and motivation at Mathematics 8. The researchers develop an action plan that will sustain the use of CAI that can improve their skills and learning outcomes as well as to help them to have a better future.

METHODS

Descriptive-survey type of research was use in this study with the survey questionnaire as the main instrument in gathering the data The pre-test before the implementation during the first module of Mathematics 8 become the baseline data.

RESULTS

The use of computer in the school is two to four times a month and the program they know how to use is the Internet. The students' performance and motivation increases as revealed on the result of the post-test. There is a significant relationship between the pre-test and post-test of the students. The limited ICT infrastructure and weak internet connection as well as the lack of access to technology such as computers and laboratories, are the problems that the students encountered in using the computer assisted instruction.

DISCUSSIONS

The respondents always use computer at the school while most of them are only using computers to surf online rather than offline software. Even the computer-assisted instruction is being utilized by the teacher, still they cannot learn quickly. Coincidentally, because the students do not have their own computers and they are not proficient in using computer. They are not fully satisfied on the use of computer-assisted instruction because of the result so if all their Mathematics teachers use it, more of them will be motivated to learn and not fully agreed on the problems because of their readiness in the use of technology nowadays.
