INTRODUCTION CAI is a natural outgrowth of the application of the
principles of programmed learning.CAI facilitates instant access to accurate
information with infinite opportunity for practice. It also provides opportunity
for systematically organised learning, to the maximum level possible, for all
learners. It makes learning easy and interesting. Three types of activities can be
pursued through the CAI system. Logo is a simple programming language
which can be taught to children. The second activity of CAI is gaming and
simulation. The third general type of CAI is controlled learning which includes
both drill and practice. Before starting the programme, the student checks-in
with the computer by displaying his identity number. This connects him with
his part of learning programme. A complete package of information stored in
the system is presented sequentially. It is displayed on the computer screen.
Then the computer asks the questions to test the student. If the student supplies
the correct answer, the computer gives some error signal and the topic is
presented again and re-tested. The student can also question the computer and
feed answers in to it by providing comments, answers and questions. Computer
assisted instruction facilitate instant access to accurate information with infinite
opportunity for systematically organized learning, to the learners. It makes
learning easy and interesting

COMPUTER ASSISTED INSTRUCTION IN SOCIAL
SCIENCE
Computer assisted instruction [CAI] is an interactive
instructional technique where by a computer is used to present the instructional
material and monitor the learning that take place. Computer assisted instruction
is the combination of texts, graphics, sounds and video in enhancing the
learning process. The computer has many purposes in the classroom, and it can
be utilized to help a student in all areas of curriculum.
Computer assisted instruction refers to the computer
as a tool to facilitate and improve instruction.CAI programs use tutorial, drill,
practice, simulation and problem solving approaches to present topics and they
test the students understandings The use of computers in education started in the
1960s.With the advent of convenient microcomputers in 1970s, computer use in
schools has become widespread from primary education through the university
level and even in some pre -school programs. Instructional computers are
basically used in one of two ways: either they provide a straight forward
presentation of data or they fill a tutorial role in which the student is tested on
comprehension.

NEED AND SIGNIFICANCE OF CAI
The day may not be far off when most Indian
classroom has a computer. Every teaching computer can then become possible.
Educators, administrators, researchers and parent all have doubt but no one
denies the needs for making every about student computer literate, there are
misgiving about the effectiveness of computer for teaching. We should like to
see more than expensive time-wasting toys; the use of computers for teaching
enhances learning in demonstratable ways.
Science is an important subject in the school
curriculum that has two major problem areas that causes ineffective learning.
1. Limitation of teachers
2. Lack of Audio-visual aids
TYPES OF COMPUTER ASSISTED INSTRUCTION
1. Drill-and –practice
Drill and practice provide opportunities or students to repeatedly
practice the skills that have previously been presented and that
further practice is necessary for mastery
2. Tutorial Tutorial activity includes both presentation of information and its
extension in to different forms of work, including drill and
practice, games and simulation.

3. Games
Game software often creates a contest to achieve the highest score
and either beat others or beat the computer
4. Simulation
Simulation software can provide an approximation of
reality that does not require the expense of real life or
its risks.
5. Discovery approach
Discovery approach provides a large database of
information specific to a course a content area and
challenges the learner to analyze, compare, and evaluate
based on their explorations of the data.
6. Problem solving
This approach helps children develop specific
problem solving skills and strategies.

ADVANTAGES OF COMPUTER ASSISTED INSTRUCTION
one –to-one interaction
great motivator
freedom to experiment with different options
instantaneous response / immediate feedback to the answers elicited
self pacing –allow students to proceed at their own pace
helps teacher can devote more time to individual students
Privacy helps the shy and slow learners to learns.
Individual attention .
Learn more and more rapidly .
Multimedia helps to understand different concepts through
multisensory approach.
Self directed learning –student can decide when where are what to
learn .
LIMITATIONS OF COMPUTER ASSISTED
INSTRUCTION May feel overwhelmed by the information and resources
available.
Over use of multimedia may divert the attention from the
content.
Learning became too mechanical.
Non-availability of good CAI packages.
Lack of infrastructure.

ROLE OF TEACHER
The introduction of CAI has created a fear in the teacher
community that its use in Instructional process will eliminate teachers from the
teaching sense .But , a matter of fact , CAI is a powerful tool for the teacher in
the instructional process , no doubt , the role of teacher has changed from his
conventional role of delivering lectures to that of a guide and a problem solver ,
but the fear or elimination is baseless teacher will essentially have to play their
role in CAI. Be CAI can improve the quality of their educational to the
teaching learning process CAI is a flexible system of instruction . CAI is
supportive to live teaching. The two can be used side by side . In CAI the
teacher has the chance to use new tools which will enhance his individual
satisfaction and will increase his efficiency . The teacher will be liberated from
his routine duty. He can devote his time for more creative work

CONCLUSION
Computer assisted instructional activities that
use computer as the primary vehicle for teaching content or process
rather than one-to one interaction with student’s .It helps all the
subjects. It reduces the number of teachers. It also provides
opportunity for systematically organized learning to the maximum
level possible, for all learners .It makes learning easy and interesting.
Computer assisted instruction uses a combination of texts, graphics,
sound and video in enhancing t he learning process. The computer
has many purpose in the classroom, and it can be utilized to help a
student in all areas of curriculum
