The purpose of this study is to find out the effect of the CAI (Computer Assisted Instruction) program in Multimedia Environment on science achievement and attitude toward the science of the fifth grade students in elementary school when the multimedia program about the change of the weather in the field of earth science was applied to the general classroom circumstances(just noe computer and a large group made of over the forty students)
The results were;
1. There were meaningful differences in the learning achievement levels between the class which learned science through the CAI program in multimedia environment and the class which learned science through the traditional method of lecture (F=4.854 p<.05)
2. There weren't any meaningful differences in the effect on the learning achievement levels of the multimedia program according to the learning level of the class (The class A which learned science through the CAI program in multimedia environment : F=.025 p> .05, The class B which learned science through the CAI program in multimedia environment : F=1.630 p> .05).
3. There were no meaningful differences in the attitude toward the science between the class which learned the science through the CAI program in multimedia environment and the class which learned science though the traditional method of lecture(F=.588 p> .05).
As the results of this study, there were meaningful differences in the learning achievement levels when the multimedia program about the change of the weather in the elementary science of the fifth grade was was applied to the general classroom circumstances than it was applied to the traditional science classes.
But there were no meaningful differences in the change of the learning achievement according to the difference of the learning level and the attitude toward science.
