Topic: Concept,
meaning, and merits of Computer Managed
Instruction (CMI)
INTRODUCTION
Computer Managed instruction is an instructional strategy
whereby the computer is used to provide learning objectives, learning
resources, and assessment of learner performance. The Computer Managed Instruction is the label for a broad category of computer
based tool. Applications are designed to assist the teacher or school
administration in the management of instructional process. Computer Managed instruction (CMI) aids the instructor in
instructional management without actually doing the teaching. Central CMI
themes discussed in the literature are individualization, behavioral
objectives, and educational technology. Central CMI themes discussed in the literature are
individualization, behavioral objectives, and educational technology. It helps
to assess the learners present level of knowledge, weakness or gaps in his
learning and remedial action possible.
CMI simply stands for the instruction managed with the help
of computer technology. It can be defined as a category of computer programme
that may be used by educators and instructors to organize and manage data
related to instruction for attaining the stipulated institutional objectives in
a most effective way. “A system which can provide administrative support to
instructors for managing instructional materials and activities”.
Ø CMI
implementation can reduce instructor workloads by automating tedious and routine
functions such as
• Grading
• Scheduling
• Keeping track
of resources
Ø It can be
introduced in phases and adapted to meet the needs and concerns of any
particular instructor or group of instructors.
Ø It can be done with just one computer.
Ø It helps
instructors and curriculum planners determine curriculum needs.
Ø It may be used
for either individualized or group instruction.
Ø It provides a
basis for evaluation of both students and instruction.
Ø It can solve
some problems posed by incompatible software and hardware.
Definition
“ CMI is the systematic control of instruction by computer. It is characterized by testing, diagnostic learning, prescription and through record keeping.”
-Burke
(1982)
“CMI includes all applications of the
computer aid to the instructor in instructional management without actually
doing the teaching.”
- Leib (1982)
Thus CMI
in its most sophisticated levels provides the following instructional functions
• Assesses
the learners present level of knowledge
• diagnoses
weakness or gaps in the students learning
• prescribes
learning activities to remediate the identified
weaknesses
•
Continuously monitors progress of the learner.
CMI in
Education
• Input and
storage of student data (primarily test scores and activities completed)
• Input and
storage of curricular data (generally objectives, test items linked to
objectives, and instructional materials or activities linked to objectives)
• Retrieval
and analysis of the data relating student scores and activity to the curriculum
data
• Generation
of various reports showing individual or group progress and current status
Functions
of CMI
v
Diagnosis of entry behavior of
learners
Computer
programmed help in the early diagnosis of the strengths and weakness of the
learners in terms of their previous knowledge and experiences related to a
particular knowledge and skill area, their interests, attitudes and aptitudes,
the needs and motives as well as other personality traits for determining their
potentiality for going ahead in the learning of a particular instructional
course or achieving a set of instructional objectives.
v Setting of instructional objectives
Computer
soft wares are available that can help in analyzing test data and other data
base information about the characteristics of the learners in relation to the
needs and purpose served by a particular type of instruction at one or the
other stages of school, college or public education.it will help in formulating
the goals and objectives for a particular coarse or piece of instruction.
v
Generating individualized instructional plans
Depending
upon the need, characteristics, nature, and individuality of the learners,
computer software are able to generate and organize individualized
instructional plans for countless learners at one or the other times-average,
gifted, slow, disabled.
v
Generating instructional materials
and learning experiences
Suiting to the individualized instructional
plans and strategies computer software can generate appropriate instructional
material and opportunities of interactive learning experiences to the learners
of varying need,
interests , and abilities. A huge data bank of all types of information and
instructional material is easily available through well prepared software
packages, websites, online conferencing, networking etc. The material generated
and developed for instructional purposes may be used on a computer based system
or in other forms of instructions.
eg. Programmed
instruction
v
Availability of instructional
material into curricular units
For
the proper organization and management of the instructions, an inventory of the
instructional resources available to the learners may be stored in the
computer’s data bank. The total resources may be divided into properly required
units having clearly specified set of objectives. There shall be clear
directions available for telling the learner s what to do for achieving the
stipulated objectives.it may asks them to read a book, work-off
self-administered paper and pencil exercises , conduct experiment with a
science kit, attend group instruction or see a film , and so on.
v
Monitoring of progress
The
computer managed instruction proves very effective in monitoring the progress
of each and every individual learner in a quite satisfactory way. What one has
done, is doing or will be doing in future can be properly monitored with the
help of the great capacity of computers in keeping track of the countless
learners in the progress of their instructional outputs. They are able to
register the low achievement of learners, detect the deficiencies in learning
along with the possible causes and provide suggestions for overcoming the
learning difficulties.
v
Providing remedial instructions
Computer
software can very well manage any progress related to remedial instructions to
the needy learners. On the basis of the learning difficulties diagnosed and the
probable causes detected, these software's now can suggest all the possible
remedies helpful in the planning and organization of instructions.
v
Management of information and record
keeping
Computer software may help in a big way for
the collection, storage, classification, and dissemination of information
through a well organized system of record keeping and its maintenance. Storage
of information and record keeping are very much essential for the proper
organization and management of instructions. The teachers and the learners may
get a big help for their teaching and learning from the storehouses of such
information data related to their respective field. All types of information
and data related to the interests , abilities , educational and environmental
backgrounds of the learners belonging to their past and present can be very
well available for the students in their instructional outputs and overall welfare.
Their educational progress can be very well available for the students in their
instructional output and overall welfare. Their educational progress can be
very well monitored and maintained through the help of a well maintained data
record of all the individual learners which may prove quite helpful in
maintaining an essential link between the classroom instructions and its
administrative management.
v
Organization of testing and
evaluation programme
Computer software may provide valuable services in the task of managing and organizing testing and evaluation programmed related to classroom instructions and educational progress of students in a variety of ways. They are helpful in assessing the study behavior of the students for getting them admitted to a course of academic or professional study. Later on, day-to-day, periodic or end evaluation are all possible through the well framed unit or course tests and other evaluation techniques available with the suitable software.
v
Generating all types of reports
Computer
software helps the processes and outputs of the instructional programmes by
generating all progress and information reports related to the tasks of
instruction. If you need the report related to the entry behavior of pupils,
it is available on the computer’s hard disc or files maintained for the
purpose. You may have a printed copy of the same for planning the
individualized instruction for your students. The progress reports can send to
parents and also it can be used for the removal of their learning difficulties.
Advantages of CMI
·
Tracking student performance over a period of time.
·
Providing
information concerning performance trends.
·
Recording
individual and group performance data.
·
Scheduling
training.
·
Providing
support for other training management functions.
CMI versus the traditional lecture method. The world has come
to a digital era in this new century and education is an essential motility that
influence the development of the society. CMI is a modern education approach
and plays more and more important role in modern education and have proved
their high efficiency and great prospect. In CMI, on basis of initial
interaction with the student, the computer suggests the type of models of
instruction for him.
