Subsumption Versus Educational Set: Implications for Sequencing of Instructional Materials

McDade, Claudia E.

Journal of Educational Psychology, 70, 2, 137-41, Apr 78

Educational psychology undergraduates were taught in alternating instructional sequences; one sequence was a conceptually oriented lecture followed by a factually oriented self-study, the other sequence was a factual self-study followed by a conceptual lecture. Results more closely supported the predictions derived from the educational set position than from the subsumption position. (Author/JAC)
