Grade performances in a personalized instruction course are compared with those in traditionally-taught courses for students with good, average, and poor academic records. (Editor)

Students in grades 6 to 8 are shown to display considerable variation in test anxiety, and results for this age group are comparable to previous studies with adult populations. Three factors rotated to an oblique solution accounted for 50 percent of the common score variance when a new 31-item version of the Mandler-Sarason Test Anxiety Scale was…

This investigation of the effect of making a set of alternatives conform grammatically to a test item stem showed there is subject sensitivity to such cues. Content-free versions of American College Testing Assessment Experimental Social Science items representing singular-plural and vowel-consonant agreement without inappropriate grammatical…

THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS WERE EXPLORED IN THIS STUDY--(1) WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP AMONG RESPONSES OBTAINED WHEN SUBJECTS VIEW AN INSTRUCTIONAL TELEVISION PROGRAM AND NOTE THEIR INTEREST BY PRESSING OR RELEASING A BUTTON, BY CHECKING COLUMNS ON A SHEET OF PAPER, AND WHEN GALVANIC SKIN RESPONSES (GSR) ARE CHARTED, (2) WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP…

A SERIES OF EXPERIMENTS WAS CONDUCTED TO TEST THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TELEVISED INSTRUCTION. THIS STUDY, THE FIFTH IN A SERIES, EXAMINED SOME OF THE ISSUES INVOLVED IN PROGRAMING LEARNING SEQUENCES FOR TELEVISION. THE TOPICS REPORTED WERE--(1) BASIC OBJECTIVES AND FUNCTIONS OF PROGRAMED AUTOINSTRUCTION, (2) OBJECTIVES IN APPLYING PROGRAMING…

In recent years data have begun to accumulate on the efficacy of role playing as an alternative to deception in research. The ethics of deception as a research technique are also being considered.
