Abstract

The cost-effectiveness of conventional instruction and computer-aided instruction (CAI) of mathematics for grade three pupils were compared. The input-output ratio of the two educational systems indicated that CAI systems tend to approximate conventional instruction systems in the long run. Four CAI lessons in grade three mathematics, developed by four computer science students of UPLB, were evaluated and ranked using the Percentage Rating Method and the Multicriteria Decision Making Method. Comparison and analysis of the two methods showed that the Percentage Rating Method is more effective when criterion scores for each lesson can be 9uantitatively determined, when several decision makers are to evaluate the CAI lessons available, or when it is desired that a quantitative measure of efficiency be obtained for every individual lesson. However, the Multicriteria Decision Making Method is more effective for cases when the criterion scores cannot be quantified.
