Designed to compare instructional strategies and effectiveness of medical school faculty using both in-person and two-way television delivery systems, this paper presents classroom observation data obtained from presentations by seven faculty members of the College of Medicine at Texas A&M University over a 9-month period. It includes a comparison of the instructional strategies used by faculty using alternative delivery systems and presentations, and collects affective information on and from students regarding the merits and limitations of two-way television as an instructional delivery medium. The procedures for collecting data are stated (Classroom Observation System) and illustrated by a sample coding sheet. Analysis of the data showed that, in general, medical students favorably reviewed the quantity of information presented, the presentation style of the professor, and the technical quality of televised presentations. However, they were not so satisfied with the ease of note taking during two-way televised presentations, and they expressed less interest in topics presented via two-way television. The document concludes with a recommendation for further instructional application of television, especially when obstacles such as travel and time are considerations. (JB)
