Although previous research has found interteaching to be an effective form of instruction, all of the currently published data have been collected in courses that have allowed for a minimum of 48 hours between class sessions. In the current study, we examined the effectiveness of interteaching compared to traditional lecture during a six week…

This study compared the final grades of courses taught both through distance learning (online) and the traditional classroom (lecture) delivery mode. This research sought to determine if a significant difference existed between the grades of the two identified delivery modes. Four courses taught by Embry Riddle Aeronautical University were…

Economics education has been a topic of research interest to many economists. In addition, the philosophical and ethical content of economics and its role in economics education has been an issue of discussion. Chapter 1 of my dissertation addresses what topics should be ignored in a principles of microeconomics class, what the goal of the…

The results of the study seem to support a conclusion that teaching methods involving student/teacher interaction produces superior student achievement when compared with a pure lecture approach. (Author)

In a controlled experiment, students in two sections of introductory sociology were exposed either to conventional classroom lectures or to identical lectures broadcast live in an adjacent room on a television monitor. Class attendance and learning under the two modes were statistically equivalent. The findings confirm those of past studies.…

An experiment was conducted in a preservice teacher education course in materials for teaching at the East Tennessee State University to determine whether or not students would gain more cognitive information while developing psychomotor skills when using self-instructional techniques as compared with those students using a traditional…

Describes a study comparing a combined system of lectures and problem sessions with a recitation class in engineering mechanics. No major differences were found in performance of students in either method. A significant difference in achievement was found with class size. The smaller the group the better the student performance." (Author/TS)

Reports a study comparing an audio-tutorial instructional technique with the traditional lecture-laboratory type instruction. (SB)

An evaluation of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) in economics showed that CAI does improve student scores but not significantly more than traditional assignments. Results indicated that CAI is better than just using lectures to teach economics, and that, while, CAI is not better than traditional assignments, it is not any worse. (RM)

A study investigated to what extent, if any, the modularization and individualization of composition instruction benefited students with severe skill deficiencies. Gain in writing skills--as measured by pretest/posttest differences--was compared with regard to two groups of students: those taught by a traditional lecture-discussion method of…

The purpose of this study was to compare the knowledge about art acquired by students who went on site visits with that of students who experienced only the lecture method of teaching. A study was conducted at Boricua College (New York) with two groups of 25 students each, one participating as a control and one as an experimental group. The…

Auto-tutorial instruction was compared to traditional lecture instruction in a university entomology course. In seven consecutive terms, undergraduate students enrolled in an introductory entomology course were divided into two groups: Group I received only lecture instruction on insect orders, while Group II was dismissed for three consecutive…

The feasibility of using programed instruction materials for a session of a Management Training Conference conducted for first-level supervisory personnel of the Westinghouse Electric Corporation was studied. A programing format utilizing a series of gated segments, each preceded by a test item, was designed to accommodate the variability among…
