AB - AbstractResearch on computer-assisted instruction (CAI) has neglected the importance of the teachers’ influence. This study investigated the effects of math instruction (with and without CAI) and the influence of teachers’ personalities (rated positive and negative) on the achievement of 117 remedial math students. Analysis of posttest results showed that students who had positive teachers were significantly different from those in negative classes. Students who received CAI showed more improvement than those who did not, but to a lesser degree. The most effective combination is a positive teacher who uses CAI. As there were no interactive effects, the results indicate that the personality of the teacher is a major influence on student achievement, regardless of the method of instruction.
