This study examined the influence of Computer Assisted Instruction on Primary education in Nigeria. It was delimited to Apapa Local Government Area (LGA) of Lagos State. Three research questions guided the study. The descriptive survey design was utilized for the study. The population consisted of all Primary schools' teachers in Apapa LGA of Lagos state. Simple random sampling technique was used to select ten Primary schools, while purposive sampling method was employed in choosing 15 Primary schools' teachers in each of the sampled school in Apapa LGA of Lagos state. The instrument used to obtain information was the Questionnaire titled: Computer Assisted Instruction Inventory (CAII). The data collected were collated, coded and analyzed, using descriptive statistics and mean rating because of their appropriateness to the study. The investigation reveals that: The influence Computer Assisted Instruction on learning in Primary schools and the level of the awareness was indeed low. There were enormous challenges facing the utilization of Computer Assisted Instruction on learning in Primary schools in Apapa LGA of Lagos State. Base on the conclusion reached, the following recommendations were drawn: Governments and school authorities should make effort to provide Computer in schools and ensure of effective usage in teaching and learning. Teachers' should be made to be aware of the importance of Computer Assisted Instruction on learning in Primary schools.

The objective of this paper is to provide a functional approach to the concept of "computer assisted education," or as the title phrases it, "computer assisted remediation and enrichment." The overall purpose of the paper is to: 1. Provide a systematic way to categorize the kinds of software which are suitable for educational use, and to cite general and specific examples of software which is available; 2. Describe the author's "approach to" and "experience with" the use of microcomputers in the high school setting (software selection/adaptation, classroom practices/procedures, and related matters); and 3. Make use of the above in order to provide an organizational framework to assist the educator-user of microcomputers in the process of thinking through and implementing microcomputer usage in the classroom.

"This paper provides an overview of the current state of the art in computer-assisted content analysis (CACA). First, background, history and a model of CACA will be given, the dichotomy of qualitative versus quantitative is addressed, and a new understanding, the 'marker view' leading to a more general Text Analysis is introduced. Subsequent chapters provide a definition of terms and cover issues of size of scoring units, and the development of computerized coding to replace well established manual rating systems. The paper concludes with the description of a recently developed computer-assisted text analysis methodology to describe psychotherapeutic processes." (author's abstract)
