Peer reviewedHagee, Gale L.; Stewart, Bob R. – Journal of the American Association of Teacher Educators in Agriculture, 1978
The effects of three types of laboratory instruction on transfer of learning from a single-cylinder agricultural engine to a multicylinder agricultural engine in the area of carburetion were studied. There were no significant differences among treatment groups on mean quality scores. Instruction method did affect task completion time. (JH)
