DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe purpose of this study was to determine if computer assisted instructional (CAI) tutorials in high school biology differ in effectiveness in terms of student academic achievement when compared with the more traditional lecture/discussion type of instruction. Additionally, student attitudes toward CAI were measured using a student attitude questionnaire. The sample was three general biology classes. Alphabetical class ranking lists were prepared, which were then alternately separated into the treatment group and control group, producing three sets of two groups of students of comparable academic achievement in the subject matter. The control group received the traditional lecture/discussion photosynthesis lesson and the treatment group, the CAI photosynthesis unit. For the genetics lesson, the two groups reversed roles, with the former control group receiving the CAI instruction. Posttest results indicated that there was no significant difference in student achievement between the two instructional methods. Tutorial CAI's appear to be equal to traditional classroom instruction in their effectiveness in teaching new materials. On the whole, students who worked with the CAI in photosynthesis were more favorable to this method of instruction than those who worked with the genetics CAI unit.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSeasoned classroom veterans, pre-tenured faculty, and neophyte teaching assistants alike will find this book invaluable. HHMI Professor Jo Handelsman and her colleagues at the Wisconsin Program for Scientific Teaching (WPST) have distilled key findings from education, learning, and cognitive psychology and translated them into six chapters of digestible research points and practical classroom examples. The recommendations have been tried and tested in the National Academies Summer Institute on Undergraduate Education in Biology and through the WPST. Scientific Teaching is not a prescription for better teaching. Rather, it encourages the reader to approach teaching in a way that captures the spirit and rigor of scientific research and to contribute to transforming how students learn science.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKRichard Clark’s observation that “…media are mere vehicles that deliver instruction but do not influence student achievement any more than the truck that delivers our groceries causes changes in our nutrition” is as misunderstood today as it was when first published in the Review of Educational Research in 1983. The convincing if little read scientific evidence presented by Clark has divided the field and caused considerable concern, especially among the providers of newer media for learning. A collection of writings about the “media effects debate,” as it has come to be called, was published in 2001. Edited by Clark, Learning From Media was the first volume in the series “Perspectives in Instructional Technology and Distance Education.” The series editors are convinced that the writings of Clark and those who take issue with his position are of critical importance to the field of instructional technology, Thus, a revised, second edition of Learning From Media is now being offered. The debate about the impact of media on learning remains a fundamental issue as new mediated approaches to teaching and learning are developed, and Clark’s work should be at the center of the discussion. The critical articles on both sides of this debate are contained in Learning From Media, 2nd Edition.
