This paper describes a study of the differences in student learning achievement (as measured by four different types of common performance evaluation techniques) in a computer programming course under three teaching/learning environments: lecture, computer‐aided instruction, and lecture supplemented with computer‐aided instruction. Detailed descriptions are included of the measurement instruments used to evaluate student learning achievement. The analysis of variance, randomized blocks design, detected significant differences among treatment groups (teaching/learning environments) when student learning achievement was measured by two of the evaluation techniques. Implications of the results of this and related studies are detailed and include a consideration of student attitude toward CAI and the cost structure of CAI relative to that of the traditional lecture/discussion format.
