DefinitionDrill software can be very helpful in this regard to

help students’ master basic skills and is based on behaviorist theory

It reinforces basic skills for example spelling words, development of reading vocabulary, or typing programs. Spelling, vocabulary, and typing are important skills that would enhance student performance when composing independent written work

Features

Drill is developmentally appropriate for the student.reinforces skills already taught . is based on the individual student's needs .meets the curriculum outcomes.provides a positive learning experience for the student .  provides appropriate stimuli, response required, and

reinforcement for the student.

Specific components1. Establish a defensive philosophy and

commit to it.2. All defensive drills are competitive.3. Drills include "conditions" that help

players be accountable.4. Drills must be tougher than the game.5. Incorporate game preparation into

defensive drills.6. Demand toughness, thinking, and

communication.

Uses in Education It seem to be more effective for low-abilitystudents It is helpful to students reviewing materials with which

they had prior familiarity.The results of the study suggest that drill based lessons

can be an effective means of teaching students of varying learning styles.

The assumption The assumption with a drill is that the student

has already had the concept presented to him, that the material has been seen before, and the purpose now is to gain familiarity and develop some familiarity with the ideas.

Since the purpose of the drill is to increase learning effectiveness through repeated practice based on a stimulus-response (S-R) theory of behaviorism, the frequency of repetition should have a direct effect on achievement

Hypotheses Drill combined with picture-enhanced presentation will induce

the highest instructional efficiency during the learning process. - Instructional analogy combined with text-only presentation

will induce the lowest instructional efficiency during the learning process. - Drill combined with text-only presentation will lead to a

moderate level of instructional efficiency. - Instructional analogy combined with picture-enhanced

presentation will lead to a moderate level of instructional efficiency. - There will be an interaction effect between the instructional

method and instructional multimedia factors.

The Significant Digits Drill software consists of a set of tutorials and drills. The tutorials cover the basic concepts of: what is a significant digit; how to find the number of significant digits in a given number; and how to use significant digits in addition & subtraction, multiplication & division, and in reading instruments.
