| Abstract: | The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of multimedia computer-assisted instruction (MCAI), traditional instruction
(TI), and combined instruction (CI) methods on learning the skill of shooting in basketball. Additionally, a comparison of
the students’ attitudes towards the MCAI and TI methods was made. Seventy-five middle school students of seventh and eighth
grade were randomly assigned into three teaching method groups: TI, MCAI and CI. Each group received ten 45-min periods of
instruction divided into three sections: (a) 5-min introduction, (b) 30-min instructional time and (c) 10-min questions and
review. Students took pre-, post-, and retention written test covering techniques and rules of the games. Participants in
the CI group also completed a post-test attitude survey towards the MCAI and TI methods. Two-way analysis of variances (ANOVA),
with repeated measures on the last factor, were conducted to determine effect of method groups (MCAI, TI, CI) and measures
(pre-test, post-test, re-test) on knowledge test. Paired samples t-test analyses were conducted to measure students’ attitude
towards the MCAI and TI methods. Post-test results indicated no significant differences between the groups concerning the
written test. Nevertheless, the attitude test scores of the CI group were more favourable to MCAI method than the TI method.
Retention test results showed that groups retained the knowledge acquisition. However, the combine method of instruction tended
to be the most effective on cognitive learning. |
