Abstract
Student learning is a complex multivariate phenomenon. There are many sources of variation, some of them unobserved and uncontrollable, that contribute to manifestations of learning behaviour and of learning outcome. Practitioners are often confused by the layered complexity found in competing conceptual models of student learning; they generally fail to appreciate the penalties that are incurred as the genuine complexity of student learning is approximated for modelling purposes.
The present study deals with a training program in using computers in teaching by Arabic teachers. The program is constructed in order to be suitable for a developing country. It includes training teachers to use general computer applications, personal and pedagogical uses. Two types of generic software (Arabic version) were used in addition to Windows 3.1 (Arabic release). The first type was wordprocessing (Microsoft Word 6.0) and the second was (Microsoft Power Point) . The program was constructed and applied according to the findings of two successful courses in America (Roseman and Brearton, 1989), and the UK (Sutherland et al., 1991).
