| Summary: | Traditional method of teaching, which is known as the “chalk and talk” strategy, has
always been a known teaching strategy of professors for many years. At present time,
technology is starting to make an impact, and the education sector is where advancements
are at most integrated. In this study, proponents incorporated technology in creating and
implementing Online Computer Aided Instruction to their chosen school.
The Online Computer Aided Instruction in Business Mathematics for Philippine
Technological Institute of Science Arts and Trade Inc. (PhilTech GMA, Cavite branch) was
created to assist the professors in presenting lessons that will be more effective, creative and
organized than the usual traditional teaching setting. Prior to building the said system, the
proponents interviewed the school director of Philippine Technological Institute of Science
Arts and Trade Inc. (PhilTech GMA, Cavite branch) and the professor in Business Mathematics
to gather information about what could be supplementary how the curriculum is presented in the
current school year. Surveys were also distributed and answered by the students to know the
students’ point of view as to what find their interest in learning Business Mathematics. The
system was coded in C# programming language, under ASP.Net framework. It was uploaded
online and could be accessed by the students and teachers anytime, anywhere. This would serve
as an online classroom, where lessons, quizzes and grades can be retrieved by both teachers and
students.
The system provides transparent report of grades incurred by students in quizzes, fixed
knowledge-base of lesson which is presented in different modes: text, audio, video, simulations

and games. Lessons in text format can be downloaded as a PDF document. Grades and class lists
can be printed out too.
Upon system’s completion, the proponents conducted a system’s assessment survey to all of
the sections of 1st year college students and the subject instructor. Based on the gathered results,
the entirety of the Online CAI is viewed as user-friendly, accurate, transparent, supplementary
and convenient, which means that the system can easily be navigated by students and professors.
Different modes of presenting lessons were also successfully incorporated in the system. The
system was able to accurately compute the grades of the students as soon as they are done
answering the quizzes in each chapter. These grades can also be viewed real-time, in the system.
Succinctly, the researchers conclude that online computer aided instruction is a great way of
improving the academic curriculum of institutions. It provides convenience to the educators and
the learners in a way where enrichment of course is a guarantee and learners’ sterling
performance is the priority. Being of knowledge to the advancements of the current time is now
essential, so online CAI is also a way of immersing both the students and the teachers in a
technology-rich environment. |
