Do the Instructional methods and

Learning
CBT : Computer Based Training
CBE : Computer Based Education
Receptive instruction is characterized by a lecture or an
Internet site the student is merely provided with information.
Directive instruction is characterized by a computer-based
tutorial where information is presented, the student responds,
feedback is provided and this tutorial learning cycle is repeated.
Guided Discovery is characterized by a computer simulation
that allows the student to manipulate some device or
environment.
Exploratory instruction is characterized by an open learning
environment in which the student is provided a rich, networked
database of information, examples, demonstrations, and
exercises from which the student can select whatever is
appropriate to their current needs and mental models.
Several variants of a multi-dimensional
model that allows categorization of various
computer-based pedagogical designs.
To compare one form of Computer-based-
education (CBE) with another or to compare
different implementations of the same form
of CBE.
Claim that Systematic evaluation of
computer-based education (CBE) in all its
various forms (including integrated learning
systems, interactive multimedia, interactive
learning environments, and microworlds
often lags behind development efforts
(Flagg, 1990). (Reeves, 1997)
1. Technological innovations advertized as
being effective are taken to be effective.
Shown by Industry spending more
money on marketing than on evaluation.
2. Decision makers are more interested in
numbers dealing with technology
investments, spread and quantitative use
of CBE/CBT in the school system.
3. Evaluation formats are inadequate, e.g.
evaluation reports are usually presented in
the format of social science research reports,
a format that "is almost useless for most
clients and audiences" (Scriven, 1993, p. 77)
4. Evaluators often compare the incomparable.
A major weakness in traditional empirical
approaches to evaluation is that the
treatments being compared (e.g., interactive
multimedia versus classroom instruction) are
often assumed to be cohesive, holistic
entities with meaningful differences
