DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis report reviews the literature on instructional graphics and implications of the findings in terms of graphic displays for computer-assisted instruction. It was concluded that (a) assumptions about the inherent value of graphics for instructional purposes are unsubstantiated by empirical evidence, and (b) the conditions under which the use of graphics may increase instructional effectiveness remain to be determined. Comparisons between alphanumeric and graphic displays, and between different graphic representations, suggest that future research should systematically explore the use of graphics as a function of task requirements, subject-matter content, and learner characteristics. The research also suggest that (a) the interpretation of research outcomes is contingent upon the dependent measures obtained, and (b) particular attention should be given to measures of delayed retention. (Author).

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTo date there is little evidence to support the widespread belief of educators and trainers that the use of visual displays enhances instructional effectiveness. This lack of supporting data is critical when computer-based education systems are considered training delivery vehicles; systems capable of providing sophisticated graphics displays are costly. The purpose of this experiment was to obtain data comparing the instructional effectiveness of three types of graphics displays for computer-assisted instruction (CAI). Three groups of subjects each studied one of three versions of a CAI lesson on the psychophysiology of audition. The text of the lesson was identical for all versions; the type of graphics used in the lesson was different for each group. No control group was used. Graphics were either low level (schematic representations and boxed alphanumerics), medium level (line drawings), or high level (animations plus line drawings). After completing the lesson, all subjects were tested for retention of four knowledge categories addressed in the lesson: acquisition and use of principles, identification of structures, definitions and use of terminology, and memory of specific facts. Results indicated that the type of graphics used during the CAI lesson did not affect lesson completion time or final performance on the retention tests. (Author).
