The purpose of this study is to analyze the interactive instruction and learner's motivation, and to develop CAI program for improving the attractiveness of instruction based on the interactive instruction and learner's motivation.
To improve the interactive instruction, it is necessary to activate the learner's control and learner's regulation. For activating the learner's control, program needs to be composed of a variety of branches, and learners should have opportunities of a wide range of choices. For activating the learner's regulation, program needs to be guided by metacognition.
To improve the learner's motivation, it is needed to consider the elements of motivation: attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction which are proposed by Keller.
The characteristics of CAI program for improving the attractiveness of instruction based on the interactive instruction and learner's motivation are as follows:
1. This program proceeds through seven steps: identifying the content, prediction, planning, executing, formative evaluation, general evaluation, and self reinforcement.
2. The movement among steps is free, and is carried away at learner's will.
3. At the step of identifying the content, the learner decides the contents and amounts of learning.
4. At the step of prediction, the learner predicts the degree of achievement and the time required for learning the tasks.
5. At the step of planning, the learner selet the method of presentation of contents and the method of learning the tasks.
6. At the step of executing, the learner learns the tasks in accordance with program.
7. At the step of formative evaluation, the learner is examined about the contents which is learned a moment ago.
8. At the step of general evaluation, the learner is examined about the contents which has been learned before.
9. At the step of self reinforcement, a variety of feedback and knowledge of results are presented.
