CAI (Computer Aided Instruction) for Basic Typing in MOS 72G10 Communications Specialist Course.
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a computer assisted instruction (CAI) system of instruction in comparison to conventional methods of teaching the typing skills required of teletypewriter operators at Fort Gordon, Georgia. The study also focused on and investigation of the relative costs of each training system, and the attitudes to the students and instructors towards the systems. The CAI system covers favorably with the traditional television tutorial system. It is equally effective, costs less to operate and maintain, and is liked by the students. The students in the CAI treatment suffer some setback when initially transferring to the teletype but overcome this quickly. It is my feeling that the use of CAI for basic typing training at Fort Gordon is feasible and desirable. Further applications of CAI should be explored.
