Concept Learning Effectiveness Using Prototype and Skill Development Presentation Forms.

Tennyson, Robert D.; And Others

Journal of Educational Psychology, v73 n3 p326-34 Jun 1981

The assumption that formative evaluation procedures are necessary when attempting to prepare better instructional treatments for improved student performance was tested. (Author/GK)
