TRAINING FILM EVALUATION: FB254 - COLD WEATHER UNIFORMS

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to discover whether a humorous approach in a training film affects learning. In the film FB%-254, "Cold Weather Uniforms" a bumbling central character made errors and was corrected by an off-stage narrator in the typical "Pete Smith" approach. The purpose of this evaluation was to determine any difference in teaching value of this film as compared with a film having the same instruction presented in a straight-forward, interesting manner without the "Pete Smith" approach.
