Abstract EN
-Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) has been recently provided in various formats from kindergartens on.
It brings several potential benefits as a teaching / learning medium.
Computerized games, as a CAI format, are in themselves a very important means of instruction for children in particular because of their unique characteristics.
This study investigated the effectiveness of a computerized games program on enhancing the helping behavior in kindergartners at- risk for learning disabilities.
Participants were fourteen 5- 6 year- oldkindergartners from Zagazig, Egypt.
They were divided into two matched groups (experimental& control) with 7 participants each.
Experimental method was used, and results indicated that use of computerized games enhanced helping behavior.
It is concluded that those computerized games are practical tools to facilitate training and instruction to children at- risk for learning disabilities, and help them be school ready to learn.
