Computer Aided Instruction in Philippine History

Background of the Study

The computer is most likely one of the great technological triggers for future change. Computer
nowadays have infiltrated every aspect of our society, and now they do much more than simply
compute; computers can now be an office tool and is now used in businesses, computer games also
have been developed prior to the development of computers. With the ever-increasing processing and
graphical capabilities of computers and console products, along with an increase in user expectations,
computer aided instruction design moved beyond the scope of a single developer to produce learning in
a reasonable time. One of the main developments of computer is the internet, and the internet is flash.

The main users of this system are the students of who have Philippine History subject. This
project improves their knowledge and logic skills by answering the quizzes and examination base on the
book use by the history teacher in Philippine History and to help them develop their skills through
reading.

Project Content

The project is a Computer Aided Instruction Teaching Philippine History (on-line). The system
composed of several interfaces which can accessible through electronic means. The users need to
register first to access the system. The home page composed of log-in and register button which is every
button has a corresponding link. The log-in button is parts of our home page were the user’s input there

I.D Number. The register button is for the registration form. The Philippine History button
composed of midterm and final topics to be discuss and video/graphics will appear for the illustration of
some information. The quiz button allows the users to answer it, assign from there instructor and there
is a time limit in every quiz in order to practice their memory stability. The exam button, same at quiz
button procedure but it is divided into 2 parts. The first part is true or false, second part is multiple
choice and there is also a time limit and it will serve as the grade of the students. The profile button is
about the developer, they show images and videos during the development of the system.

Purpose and Description

The purposed of our system is to provide a useful and knowledgeable computer aided
instruction (on-line) for the students. The system will be the big help for those working students because
they can review their subject through their convenient time and they can access it anywhere as long as
they have an internet access.

This system will also present the new way for giving the knowledge to the students. The primary
beneficiaries of this project are the students and teachers.
Objectives

General Objective

The purpose to this system is to create a satisfactory computer aided instruction (on-line) for
the students and to have a friendly system and provide internal motivation for exposure and mastery of
the learning objectives. It would increase students’ motivation and learning gains, which can easily
adopt with the users through its simplicity and understandable.

Specific Objectives

The objectives of this project are;

1. To explore the feasibility and enhance the knowledge of the students by using computer aided
instruction.
2. To examine the motivational capacity of the students- specifically for answering the questions
for learning purposes.
3. To explore the potential adoption of such system as an educational tool of a student.
4. To motivate the students to study using the system.

Scope and Limitation

The scope of the study is only the development of the online computer aided instruction for the
students on their Philippine History subject. The system only covers the History of the Philippines from
the time of Malays up to the regaining of Freedom on Aquino government. The system covers only few
of festival which is only an added feature for familiarization on the Philippine culture based on the
history. The system can accept update of questions and can be given to students for test evaluation.

Our system is limit to the students who taking up Philippine History subject were they can
understand well their subjects and this system is exclusive only for the students who can access our
system using their account. This proposed project helps the teachers to motivate the students and help
them up to understand in the simple way that we can provide them. The content of the Philippine
History of our system is limited only up to the Aquino government.
