Smiley, Curtis Lee – 1973
The basic problem examined was whether it is essential that secondary students be required to attend daily classes while studying beginning biology using the SYSTEMS APPROACH TO BIOLOGY program as a method of instruction. The study did not identify the population used nor how it was selected. Students were administered a pretest and posttest,…

Quick, Charles Leonard – 1971
This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of a self-developed audio-tutorial (A-T) system in biology at the college level. The basic design of the study was a variation of a compromise experimental group-control group design. The control group was instructed by lecture-laboratory method, and the experimental by the A-T system. Facutal…

Gross, Bernard Francis – 1971
The purpose of this study was to design a course and to determine its effects on learners' perceptions of certain scientific literacy concepts. A science-related semantic differential instrument was used. Student-instructor collaboration resulted in the selection of objectives and learning strategies in order to establish an environment favorable…

Kahle, Jane Butler – 1971
Four audio-tutorial units were developed as part of this study to determine the effectiveness of the use of advanced organizers, based on Ausubel's theories, for meaningful learning experiences. In this study an advanced organizer was developed and given to half of the subjects prior to the instructional sequence. A series of micro-learning tasks,…

Worley, William E. – 1975
The purpose of this study was to determine criteria for helping students decide if they would profit more from traditional methods of instruction or from independent and individualized methods. Four areas were studied: whether traditional methods were superior to individualized methods; whether students preferred either method; whether there was a…

Gutelius, Paul Payne – 1974
The thesis describes the design, implementation, and evaluation of a course in the theory and practice of management. It gives an appraisal of programmed learning techniques and compares three methods of teaching management--by readings, by cases, and by computer gaming. Additionally, it relates student reactions to the opportunity to select one…

Riggle, G. Thomas, II – 1975
Since 1970, the developmental mathematics program at the Metropolitan Campus of Cuyahoga Community College (Ohio) has consisted of three courses of individualized instruction. A pretest is given to determine proper course placement and all modular units are accompanied by regular lectures. This practicum was designed to determine the attitudes,…
