This research paper reviews the available studies that are carried out for comparing the instructional efficacy of computer assisted instruction to conventional classroom instruction during the past two decades. Studies based on empirical researches rather than teachers’ judgements have been reviewed. Researchers have discovered the effectiveness of computer assisted instruction for teaching various teaching subjects at elementary level to higher level. The purpose of this review paper is to present a critical, comprehensive, review of literature on the effect of computer assisted instruction on different subjects’ teaching and learning with the goal of giving an outline what is currently known and providing guidance for future research. The research report on 51 empirical studies dealing with the efficacy of, and implications for in various subjects presents a valid assessment for understanding the effectiveness of Computer Assisted Instruction in the field of education. The 51 studies was taken under consideration over a period of 20 years. 5 i.e. 9.8% studies showed no difference between computer assisted instruction and conventional instruction; 46 i.e. 90.2% studies favoured computer assisted instruction over conventional method of instruction; and no study favoured conventional instruction over computer assisted instruction. Results for mathematics, social sciences, language, grammar, physics, biology and chemistry were examined. Social science and science subjects like Chemistry, Physics and Biology are the subjects with the highest percentage of results favouring computer assisted instruction. Positive results favoured the computer assisted instructional programme over the conventional method of instruction.
