Abstract

This study used a discriminant analysis procedure to identify the demographic variables (school, teacher, grade level, subject, test used for evaluation, semester of treatment, and gender) or subsets of variables that would predict elementary students' success with computer assisted instruction (CAl). Also, multiple factorial analyses of variance were performed to test the interaction effect between treatment (CAl) and the demographic variables. Recommendations suggest that future research attempt to identify the appropriate teacher training in the use of computers for instruction that will produce recurring student achievement with CAl. It is also suggested that future research examining the academic effects of CAl in the elementary classroom (grade 2 through 5) should not be concerned with the grade level of the student, the subject being studied (mathematics or language arts), the test used for evaluation (local or standardized), or the gender of the student.
