Houston, Linda Scott; Fraser, Barry J.; Ledbetter, Cynthia E. – Journal of Elementary Science Education, 2008
Student perceptions of classroom environment can provide useful criteria for evaluating educational alternatives. The My Class Inventory (MCI) was used with 588 3rd- to 5th-grade students in Texas in evaluating the effectiveness of instruction using a textbook, science kits, or a combination of both. Various analyses attested to the factorial…

Dayton, Deane K.; Schwier, Richard A. – Educational Communication and Technology: A Journal of Theory, Research, and Development, 1979
Junior high school and college students participated in three experiments that explored the effects of postquestion treatments on learning from slide/tape presentations. Results seem to indicate that inserted postquestions can increase the learning of question relevant information without impairing learning efficiency. (Author/JEG)
