Enhancing Productivity in Navy Schools: The Use of Wall Posters and Computer-Based Instruction to Influence Learning.

Abstract

One project objective was to create and evaluate a learning environment in the school outside the classrooms by developing a variety of posters that related to the classroom instructional topics and to the equipment that an electrician encounters on the job. A second objective was to apply and evaluate technologies in night study to improve the remediation process. This was accomplished by using available self-paced study materials on basic electricity and by tutoring and counseling by instructors. To enhance this process, computer-based instruction (CBI) was added to the night study classroom. To evaluate student attitude/responsiveness to the CBI programs and the posters, students were administered a questionaire. The results suggests that, overall, both posters and CBI programs were used and found to be useful.
