title: The integration of theoretical constructs into the design of computer assisted instruction.
abstract: The authors believe that for computer assisted instruction to be an effective instructional tool, it must incorporate the most current theoretical principles related to learning and instruction. To assist future developers of computer assisted instruction, the authors review some of the major constructs from the theoretical foundations of various disciplines and then illustrate the integration of these constructs in the design of a software program entitled SOS--Strategies for Problem Solving.
