ABSTRACT

Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI) is the use of the computer to help in delivering the subject matter (Seo & Bryant, 2012). The computers and programs that go along with the instruction can provide use of many different types of hands-on opportunities with the touch of a mouse. Using computer assisted instructions, teaching made easier and pupils were motivated to participate in the teaching-learning process because they were given the chance to manipulate the computers. Technology based teaching has most used mostly by the teachers in the development of the lesson. Giving activities using the computers will surely improve the academic achievement of the pupils. With these, the researcher as computer advocate, is challenge to conduct this study in order to evaluate the effectiveness of computer assisted instruction in improving the performance of the Grade III learners in Mathematics in Canbantug Elementary, Merida District, Leyte Division. An intervention plan in Mathematics was formulated based on the result of the study. It was revealed on the table that the pre-test performance of Grade 3 learners in Math is moderate for the experimental and control group while the post-test performance is very high for the experimental group and high for the control group. Moreover, it was also revealed that there is significant difference between the scores in the pre-test and post-test performance of the Grade 3 learners in Math for both groups and there is also significant difference on the scores in the posttest performance among the two groups. This means that computer assisted instruction is an effective intervention in improving the performance of the Grade 3 learners Mathematics. It is recommended to implement the formulated Intervention Plan in Mathematics to improve or maintain the performance of the Grade 3 learners.
