RELATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF INSTRUCTION BY: FILMS EXCLUSIVELY, FILMS PLUS STUDY GUIDES, AND STANDARD LECTURE METHODS (RAPID MASS LEARNING).
Abstract
The study was undertaken to determine whether and to what extent instructional films can carry the entire teaching burden, in a course involving the teaching of a body of factual information. The overall results suggest that a body of factual information such as high school general science, may be taught by films alone, almost as effectively as by a teacher using conventional classroom methods (except films), and by films introduced and supplemented by brief study guides perhaps a little more effectively than by conventional non-film teaching methods.
