WHY

SHOULD I

 BUY

ASM-I?

Teachers have used computers to assist them in teaching. ASM-I shows us that modern advancements in computer technology have produced a new way of learning.

THE COMPUTER CAN TEACH!

ASM-I perform every pedagogical behavior that a good teacher does in teaching a child the skills of whole numbers:

ASM-I presents the skill on screen using multimedia to introduce the skill. The pupil can replay this introduction as many times as he wishes—each time, different number appear—this can’t be done in a real classroom.

The pupil must take three tests to show that he has learned the skill. There is a Quiz 1, Quiz 2 and an Examination.

Quiz1 presents a number of different problems to the pupil. If a pupil answers correctly ASM-I states that he has answered correctly. This is rewarding the pupil; as a good teacher would do. An incorrect answer is stated as incorrect. The pupil is not rewarded by increasing the number that shows how many problems he has answered correctly. Again, this is exactly what a good teacher would do. ASM-I also shows the pupil exactly where he has made his first error. Clearly, this is teaching.

This raises the following question. Is our system of education producing an equal opportunity to learn for all our children? The answer is an unequivocal no.

Every child in our public schools gets a different education in spite of curriculum guides. The teachers of our children are different in many ways: their ability to teach, their different subject interests and, above all, their devotion to teaching.

System like this cannot produce a method of quality control.

Unlike other areas of our existence health, social behavior, and food are controlled; education is not.

THE COMPUTER CAN MAKE QUA LITY CONTROL POSSIBLE IN EDUCATION

Computer programs similar to ASM-I could be a good teacher for all of our children. The human teacher would become supervisors of the computer as it teaches our children.

ASM-I records all test responses of the pupil.

THE TEACHER OR PARENT KNOWS EACH SKILL THEIR PUPIL HAS MASTERED

(a) ASM-I will teach a child at his own rate of learning. If a parent realizes her child is moving ahead of where his class is, she can encourage him to move on.

(b) The parent will know what skill her child has mastered. To find out what skill your child has

Not learned: he can take ever examination up to where his class is currently studying. If there are gaps— go back and remove them.

(c) The parent or teacher will know how long their child has spent in each session— this information can be used to monitor the pupil as he works ASM-I. If the pupil is not working as hard as the parent or teacher expects he could be disciplined.
