This study empirically tests the feasibility and effectiveness of video lectures as a form of video instruction that enables a comprehensive teaching strategy used throughout a traditional classroom course. It examines student use patterns and the videos' effects on student learning, using qualitative and nonparametric statistical analyses of…

One-hundred seventy-five students enrolled in either a traditional classroom lecture section of General Psychology or in an online section of the same course were compared on exam performance. When covariates of high school grade point average and SAT composite scores were entered into the analysis, students enrolled in the classroom based lecture…

We compared the effects of guided lecture notes versus completed lecture notes on pre- to postlecture improvements in quiz performance across two sections of a college course. The results of a counterbalanced multielement design did not reveal consistent differences between the two note formats on students' mean quiz scores. However, fewer errors…

Research into students' perceptions of their learning environments reveals the impact of these perceptions on the way students cope with these learning environments. Consequently, students' perceptions affect the results of their learning. This study aims to investigate whether students in a new learning environment (NLE) perceive it to be more…

The lecture, presented at the American Association of Teacher Educators in Agriculture breakfast meeting during the American Vocational Association Convention, clarifies the relationship between vocational education in agriculture and the career education movement. (AG)

If teaching is the effective communication of knowledge, the teacher first must be knowledgeable about the subject being taught. Communicating that knowledge to students is just as important. One standard teaching method is the lecture. A lecture is prepared before class by the teacher and should include not only the facts to be learned by the…

To prepare a course on "Communication Skills for the Community College Teacher" a literature search and a focus group interview on the topic of effective community college lecturing was carried out. The literature search revealed shortcomings in the literature on lecturing, which tends to be oriented to secondary school or four-year…

The present study tested four predictions concerning the effects of instructional objectives as an adjunct aid in learning through the lecture method. First, the inclusion of objectives with the lecture was postulated to result in greater learning from the lecture. Second, objectives presentation by subsets was predicted to facilitate performance…

Physics students were exposed to one of three lecture styles: blackboard, overhead projector, or two channel slide presentation. The latter method utilizes two slide projectors; after a slide has been discussed it is transferred to the second projector where it is displayed until the slide changes again. Student questionnaires revealed a…

Two experiments involving 36 deaf college students investigated the amounts of information remembered by students from the different quarters of a lecture and the effect of printed vs. interpreted presentation of lecture material. In the first experiment, 20 deaf college students received an interpreted, videotaped presentation of one lecture and…

Four different methods for attending to a lecture were studied: listening, listening with an outline, note-taking, and note-taking with an outline. Each method was designed to influence the learner's level of processing and, therefore, to effect the encoding and retrieval of information from a lecture. In addition, the effects of no review or…

Three members of the Ohio State University Astronomy department developed an audiovisual program in Astronomy to provide a format for more active student participation than is possible in large lecture sessions. The program consists of 18 filmstrip/cassette modules and an integrated textbook which were utilized on an individual basis, allowing…

Presented in this translation are three chapters. Chapter I discusses the composition of forces and several theorems of geometry are proved using the fundamental concepts and certain laws of statics. Chapter II discusses the perpetual motion postulate; several geometric theorems are proved using the postulate that perpetual motion is impossible.…
