The Role of Practice in Videodisc-Based Procedural Instructions
Abstract
A goal in this research is to learn how to use high-technology computer systems effectively in education and training. This paper reports a procedure for developing the design of interactive videodisc-based assembly instructions using IBM's infoWindow system. Research comparing interactive videodisc-based assembly instructions and passive videotape instructions is presented. Performance in building from memory an 80-piece object (made from the Fischer-Technik assembly kit) is assessed for six different groups. The main comparison is between groups which have interactive instructions and are allowed to build during training, and groups which have the same instructions but are not allowed to build during training. The 'build' groups never perform better from memory than the 'no build' groups (on structure of efficiency) and sometimes perform significantly worse! Keywords: Interactive instruction, Videodisc instruction, Multimedia instruction, Procedural instruction, Instructional design, Practice, Training, Man computer interface.
