In 1994, James Kulik used a
research technique called meta-analysis to aggregate the findings from more
than 500 individual research studies of computer-based instruction. He had more
positive conclusions than negative from his work. For instance, students learn more in less time when
they received computer-based instructions. Also students like their classes more and develop more positive attitudes when
their classes include computer-based instruction. I found this to be true with
several of my special needs students. This approach has reduce inappropriate
behaviors and increased motivation. It has also improved self-esteem.
