Microfiche and Printed Materials in Individualized Instruction: A Comparison
Abstract
Comparisons were made between microfiche materials and conventional printed materials in two short military courses taught by means of individualized instruction. Students took the courses in sequence. In one set of comparisons, microfiche was used only for the tests; in the other, it was used for both instructional materials and tests. In both sets, control groups used printed materials exclusively. In the first course, students who used microfiche for tests required 18% more study time than did the control students. Those who used microfiche for both instructional materials and tests required 26% more time. In the second course the students who used microfiche for tests required 11% more time, and those who used it for both instructional materials and tests required 10% more time. Neither of the latter differences was reliable. There were no reliable differences in test scores.
