The information technology infrastructure and laboratory equipment of Davao Medical School Foundation, geared to prepare its students for global competitiveness, is an environment conductive to computer assisted instruction. This educational strategy has gained ground in the medical and allied health fields as an alternative teaching-learning strategy. Though not unresponsive to this development, the DMSF administration and faculty have to consider integrating to this innovation into the curriculum and replace or augment the lecture method that is pervasive across year levels to prepare its students to become self-directed learners.This study compared the effectiveness of CAI and the lecture demonstration method on student's knowledge and skills acquisition and determined their attitudes toward the use of the two strategies. Twenty-two second year dental students of the Davao Medical School Foundation-College of Dentistry who are enrolled in the Restorative Dentistry II subject were matched on pretest scores and first year GWAs and randomly assigned to the lecture-demonstration and computer instruction (CAI) groups. The two methods were based on the same instruction design and only differed in the teaching-learning activities. Instruments used in the study were submitted to experts for validation and pilot tested by third and fourth year students of DMSF College of Dentistry. Cronbach's Coefficient Alpha was used to test their reliability.In the analysis of post tests scores of the two groups, the t test values proved that there was significant improvement in their knowledge (p = 03.001 < 0.05) but results showed that the only performance of the lecture group improved when the whole group was divided (lecture-demonstration group, p=0.009 < 0.05; CAI group, p= 0.055 > 0.05). When the two groups compared in the pretest and posttest, results demonstrated no significant difference (pretest, p=1.00 > 0.05; posttest, p=0.845 > 0.05). The practical scores showed no significant difference in the performance of the two groups (.364 > 0.05). In measuring the attitudes toward the two strategies, however, the students in the lecture-demonstration group gave their method a higher mean rating (as an education tool, 3.43 > 3.33; preferred learning medium, 3.58). This study concludes that computer assisted instruction is equally effective as the lecture-demonstration format in teaching restorative dentistry concept.This stud recommends that the administration promote the use of CAI among the faculty and students to maximize the use of available information technology facilities of the school and to consider CAI as a supplemental tool to the lecture method rather than as a stand-alone educational tool.
