The CAI (Computer-Assisted Instruction) system for science teaching has been increasing both in quantity and in quality during the last two decades. However, science learning by computer has not played a leading role in the science teaching process. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of tutorial CAI programs according to the learner's characteristics such as sex, inquiry skills, attitudes toward science subject, logical thinking skills, achievement motivation, science content achievement in science teaching. One group pretest-posttest design was used as an experimental design. The three tutorial science CAI programs were used for thirty males and females selected in grade eight. According to the analysis of CAI achievement scores the female students showed significantly higher (P<0.05) than the male students. Also, one-way analysis of variance was used to investigate the effects of interaction between sex and achievement motivation. The significant difference on the effects of interaction between sex and achievement motivation has not found. The effects of tutorial CAI between logical thinking skills, attitudes toward science subject, inquiry skills, achievement motivation, science content achievement according to upper and lower levels were investigated by using the statistical analysis of one-way ANOVA. The results indicate that tutorial CAI might provides a good opportunities for the improvement of science achievement to the lower level students of attitudes toward science subject, inquiry skills, science content achievement.

탐구수업은 학생들이 자신의 학습활동에 적극적으로 참여하여 스스로 문제를 제기하고, 해결하는 역동적인 과정이다. 탐구수업은 교사가 지식을 전달하는데 그치지 않고, 학생스스로가 지식을 발견할 수 있도록 도와주는 촉진자로서의 역할을 수행한다. 그러나 현행 탐구수업은 학교도서관과의 연계성 부족, 사서교사와 교과교사간의 협력 부족, 실무적으로 적용할 수 있는 탐구수업 모형이 미흡하다는 문제가 있다. 반면에 정보의 접근, 평가, 이용능력 신장을 목표로 하는 정보활용능력은 탐구과정과 밀접하게 관련되어 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 리피트(Lippitt)의 탐구과정과 정보활용과정모형(Big6 Skills, Pathways to Knowledge, I-Search, 8Ws, IP, IRP)을 비교 분석하여 탐구수업에 적합한 기능, 전략, 활동을 추출하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 정보활용과정에 의한 탐구수업의 정교화 모형을 설계하였다.
