Smith, Margaret Ann; Smith, Patricia L. – 1991
Traditionally, illustrations used in instruction have been concrete in nature with the learning outcome not always considered in the design of the illustrations. This study investigated whether concrete or abstract illustrations were more effective for supporting acquisition of abstract concepts in print media when evaluated by immediate and…

Wilshire, Daniel T. – 1990
This study assessed the effects of varying degrees of elaboration in a prose format using computer-assisted instruction (CAI) with accompanying slides on posttest scores of college age learners. Four instructional treatments were used: control, embedded questions (TR1), computer generated feedback (TR2), and computer generated feedback with a…

Jonassen, David H. – 1988
This study compared instructional methods using interactive video in order to test the prototype model of concept acquisition and to assess the kinds of prototypes that learners develop. The subjects were 30 graduate students at two universities, who were randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups and completed an interactive video program…

Schultz, Charles W. – 1988
This paper presents a global approach to the media comparison literature. Beginning with the pros and cons of media research, it discusses the results of both individual and meta-analysis research, compares the different methods researchers have used to determine media selection, and concludes with the most recent trends in media selection. It is…

Wedman, John F.; Smith, Patricia L. – 1989
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of instruction that is organized in two alternative formats--hierarchical (Gagne, 1962) and elaborated (Reigeluth, 1979)--on learner's recall and application of content-specific principles. Sixty-nine college juniors and seniors enrolled in an education media production course studied one of two…
