THE EFFECTIVENESS OF HIGH SCHOOL TELEVISION - CORRESPONDENCE INSTRUCTION

LEON HARRY ROTTMANN, University of Nebraska - Lincoln

Abstract

Studies of comparative effectiveness of methods of instruction have been conducted on a wide range of specific problems. In the area of television instruction there is substantial evidence (Kumata) that students achieve as well when they are taught by tele- vision as when they are taught by conventional class- room procedures. Evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of the combination of television and correspondence study as a method of instruction, however, has not yet become available.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the extent to which the television-correspondence study method of instruction affects the acquisition of know- ledge and the development of attitudes at different levels of school ability. The research was concerned with the In-School Program at the University of Nebraska which utilized television in the study of educational problems which have confronted higher education for a considerable period of time and which appearto become more acute in the years immediately ahead.
