“…In addition, it looked at the relationships between nursing students• perceptual learning style preferences, and three additional dependent variables, the amount of time they (Jamison et al, 1974;Kulik, Bangert, Williams, 1983;Rappaport & Savard, 1980;Wilson, 1980) (see Table III). Results from eleven studies which investigated computer-assisted instruction at the college level found that attitudes toward computer-assisted instruction in eight of th~ studies were higher than those toward conventional classes (Kulik, Kulik, & Cohen, 1980).…”

“…Previous research reported in review articles looked at the effect of computer-assisted instruction on the amount of time it took to complete course material using CAI compared to traditional instruction Jamison, Suppes, & Wells, 1974;Kulik, Bangert, & Williams, 1983;Kulik, Kulik, & Cohen, 1980;Wilson, 1980). In all of the studies reviewed by these authors, the use of CAI resulted in a saving of student time.…”

“…The studies reviewed looked at the effect of CAI on student achievement, attitudes toward the subject matter, time to complete course materials and the effect of CAI on the retention of material learned Jamison et al, 1974;Kulik, Bangert, & Williams, 1983;Rappaport & Savard, 1980;Vinsonhaler & Bass, 1972;Wilson, 1980).…”

“…At the secondary school and college levels, a conservative conclusion was that CAI was about as effective as traditional instruction when it was used as a replacement (Jamison et al, 1974). was substituted for traditional instruction in whole or in part, the authors found that in nine studies the CAI students achieved more than the non-CAI students, while in eight little or no difference was detected.…”

The purpose of this investigation was to identify the perceptual learning style preferences of nursing students and to examine the relationship, if any, among students whose learning style perceptual preferences were identified as being auditory, tactile or visual and their attitudes toward the use of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) in the areas of comfort, creativity and function.The relationships between nursing students' perceptual learning style preferences and the following were also examined: (a) the amount of time they spent using the computer program, Car- The data were collected using the Productivity Environmental Preference Survey developed by Price, Dunn and Dunn (1986) and Allen's (1986) Attitude Toward CAI Semantic Differential Scale. The study was conducted at a baccalaureate school of nursing in a health sciences university.The sample for the study was sophomore nursing students who were taking a nursing course in patient assessment. whether students felt the use of the computer prograin added to their knowledge and whether they wanted more CAI added to the nursing curriculum.Qualitative data were also gathered by asking students about their experience using the computer program, CardiacExam Bingo. Comments about the use of computers in education indicated that students found the computer to be a useful study tool. Students did express concern that the use of CAI would add to students' work loads; therefore, they recommended that it be available to students but not required. Affective comments also provided further evidence that students had positive attitudes toward the computer program used for this study. -To Judy Edwards Allen, who introduced me to computer-assisted instruction, and planted the seed for this investigation.-To Barbara Gaines who carefully reviewed this dissertation many times and willingly critiqued the application to nursing.-To Len Campbell, Michael Gaines and Hal Jorgensen for their conscientious critiques of the drafts of this study and for their support as I moved toward its completion.-To the sophomore students who willingly participated in this project during their busy spring quarter.

“…However, in research studies conducted over a relatively short time span, for example, a few days or months at the most, this effect may still linger and affect the evaluation by enhancing the impact of the more novel medium (Colvin & Clark, 1984); this effect could have occurred in our present research. When matching media to distinct subject matters, course contents, or core concepts, some research evidence (Jamison, Suppes, & Welles, 1974) indicates that, other than in obvious cases, just about any medium will be effective for different content. Extrapolating this notion to the measurement domain, the validity results of this study seem to suggest, contrary to the above, that different media may be differentially effective in testing the same subject matter.…”

Using a within-subjects design, we administered to 83 naval pilots and flight officers computerbased and paper-based tests to assess recognition of aircraft silhouettes in order to determine the relative reliabilities and validities of these two measurement modes. Estimates of internal consistencies, equivalences, and discriminative validities were computed for multiple performance measures. It was established that the relative reliabilities and validities derived for these two assessment schemes were contingent on the employed multivariate measurement criteria, that is, percentage correct responses, average response latency, and average degree of confidence in recognition judgments, as well as the statistical criteria used to ascertain the comparative quality of these two modes of testing.
