Abstract
In the present study, the effects of judgmental and non-judgmental CAI on the self-esteem and mathematics achievement of remedial junior-high students were examined. Each of 44 students was given a self-esteem pretest. The subjects completed a basic mathematics facts drill and practice CAI program with varying degrees of judgmental feedback, and were posttested on the self-esteem scale. Although no statistically significant differences were found among the treatment groups, this result was more likely due to the short-term nature of the study, rather than an absence of a relationship between judgmental feedback and learner self-esteem.Keywords
