This study intends to investigate whether or not using highly illustrative pedagogical practice, through the use of\ncomputer and related technologies can indeed motivate students to learn and put into practice what they are taught inside\nthe classroom. For students to grow fully as human persons, they should develop their minds through effective learning.\nEffective learning however is possible only if students are truly motivated to learn. Computer based instruction (CBI) can\nhelp in motivating students to learn and even put into practice what they are taught in class. Following Kellerââ?¬â?¢s ARCS\nmotivational model in pedagogical practice, CBI is said to ââ?¬Ë?intrinsicallyââ?¬â?¢ motivate students by drawing their attention while\nencouraging them to relevantly apply what they learn in class. Students also develop sense of confidence and satisfaction\nin their learning process through CBI. A survey of Saint Dominic College of Asia (SDCA) students was conducted. Results of\nthe survey showed that majority of the students had absorbed better teaching materials when CBI was used than when CBI\nwas not used. Results also revealed that CBI as an approach to teaching was preferred by students than non-CBI approach\nto teaching, confirming the hypothesis in this study.
