Educational Research and Reviews, v7 n9 p207-214 Mar 2012
This paper reports the results of research conducted in six classes (Form IV) with 205 students with a sample of 94 respondents. Data represent students' statements that describe (a) the role of Mathematics teachers in a computer-assisted instruction (CAI) environment and (b) effectiveness of CAI in Mathematics instruction. The results indicated that: majority of students incline towards constructivist Mathematics teaching-learning beliefs in a CAI environment; and CAI would encourage positive attitude towards Mathematics and instruction while negative attitudes are attributed to the design and development of CAI software among others. Prior student computer experience and skills are determinants for effectiveness of CAI in Mathematics instruction. The recommendations are that CAI catalyses a constructivist environment in Mathematics, and design and development impacts on its success in Mathematics instruction. (Contains 5 tables.)

Hierdie vraestel verslae Die resultate van navorsing wat in ses klasse (Vorm IV) met 205 Studente met 'n monster van 94 respondente. Data verteenwoordig die studente se stellings wat beskryf (a) die rol van Wiskunde-onderwysers in 'n rekenaar-gesteunde onderrig (CAI) omgewing en (b) doeltreffendheid van CAI in Wiskunde onderrig. Die resultate dui daarop dat: meerderheid van studente neig na konstruktivistiese Wiskunde onderrig-leer oortuigings in 'n CAI omgewing; en CAI sou positiewe houding teenoor Wiskunde en tug te moedig terwyl negatiewe houdings word toegeskryf aan die ontwerp en ontwikkeling van CAI sagteware onder andere. Voor student rekenaar ondervinding en vaardighede is determinante vir doeltreffendheid van CAI in Wiskunde onderrig. Die aanbevelings is dat CAI kataliseer n konstruktivistiese omgewing in Wiskunde, en ontwerp en ontwikkeling impak op die sukses in wiskunde-onderrig. (Bevat 5 tafels.)
