Abstract
Classroom use of the microcomputer as an aid to learning has been patchy [Bleach 1986] and disappointing [Shiengold 1983] throughout the primary school both in quantity and quality. In an attempt to understand teacher approaches to computer‐assisted learning, case studies were undertaken in five primary schools. One of the objectives was to discover to what degree do existing instructional styles and processes precondition the instructional use of the computer. The findings below suggest a degree of instructional corroboration between classroom and computer approaches to the learning of the young primary school child.Keywords
