THE RELATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF TWO TYPES OF VISUAL MEDIA FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A THREE-DIMENSIONAL CONCEPT OF A GIVEN ANATOMICAL REGION WAS INVESTIGATED. EXPERIMENTAL AND CONTROL GROUPS WERE RANDOMLY SELECTED FROM 119 FIRST-YEAR MEDICAL AND DENTAL STUDENTS IN AN HISTOLOGY CLASS. BOTH GROUPS ATTENDED THE SAME ONE-HOUR LECTURE. FOLLOWING THE LECTURE…

ELEVEN INSTITUTES FOR ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS (THREE MUSIC, TWO ART, TWO THEATER, TWO HUMANITIES, ONE LATIN, AND ONE FILM) WERE EVALUATED ON THE BASIS OF QUESTIONNAIRE RESPONSES FROM 300 OF THE 430 PARTICIPANTS, FINAL REPORTS OF INSTITUTE DIRECTORS, AND DETAILED REPORTS OF OBSERVERS. THE GREATER EMPHASIS ON SUBJECT CONTENT THAN ON…

TO STUDY THE EFFECTS OF DIFFERING TEACHER REINFORCEMENT BEHAVIOR ON STUDENTS, 21 MIDDLE-CLASS AND 12 LOWER-CLASS MALE NINTH- AND 10TH-GRADE REMEDIAL READING STUDENTS WERE SHOWN TWO FILMS. THE FIRST DEPICTED A "POSITIVE" TEACHER WHO CONSISTENTLY REWARDED CORRECT RESPONSES WHILE NEGLECTING INCORRECT ONES, AND THE SECOND SHOWED A…

TWENTY-FIVE JUNIOR EDUCATION MAJORS PARTICIPATED IN A ONE-SCHOOL PROJECT TO IDENTIFY, UTILIZE, AND EVALUATE NEW METHODS, MEDIA, AND TECHNIQUES OF TEACHER EDUCATION.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF MOTION PICTURE FILMS AS A TEACHING DEVICE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF LIPREADING SKILLS AND THE USE OF A CARTRIDGE-LOAD, SELF-WINDING EIGHT MILLIMETER PROJECTOR AS A TEACHING TOOL WERE STUDIED. IT WAS HYPOTHESIZED THAT DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING CHILDREN WOULD LEARN PRESCRIBED VOCABULARY MORE QUICKLY BY AUTOINSTRUCTIONAL FILM METHODS…

THE USE OF THE EXIT INTERVIEW AS A CRITERION MEASURE OF THE STUDY OF PROSPECTIVE TEACHERS AND TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAMS WAS REPORTED. THE STUDY WAS MADE AS PART OF A LARGER INVESTIGATION MADE TO DISCOVER THE PERSONAL QUALITIES OF TEACHERS WHO REMAIN IN TEACHING AND TO DETERMINE THE PROGRAMS THAT PRODUCE TEACHERS. THE EXIT INTERVIEW WAS A…

VISUAL AND AUDIOVISUAL MATERIALS WERE TESTED TO DETERMINE THEIR EFFECTIVENESS IN A 1-YEAR NINTH-GRADE ALGEBRA COURSE. TESTS WERE GIVEN TO AN EXPERIMENTAL AND A CONTROL CLASS AFTER EACH UNIT TO ASSESS LEARNING. IN ADDITION, EACH STUDENT USED A POTENTIOMETER TO INDICATE THE LEVEL OF LEARNING EACH MINUTE OF THE LESSONS. ELECTRICAL SUMMATION EQUIPMENT…

AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO ASCERTAIN WHETHER MOTION PICTURE FILMS OF SELECTED PHYSICS DEMONSTRATION EXPERIMENTS WERE AS EFFECTIVE AS DEMONSTRATIONS PERFORMED DURING COLLEGE PHYSICS LECTURES. A SECOND OBJECTIVE WAS TO DETERMINE WHETHER STUDENTS WOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPORTUNITY TO VIEW SOME EXPERIMENTS ON FILM OUTSIDE OF CLASS ON A VOLUNTARY…

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…

The hypothesis considered is that external evaluation of learning that a student may do for its intrinsic value may lessen the student's existing interest. Instructional movies were presented to students; in some cases students were told that they would (or in some cases, might) be tested on the contents, and in others they were not told this. The…
