Examines the effects of three preinstructional strategies--advance organizers, performance objectives, and structured overviews--in enhancing learner understanding of textual materials. Two achievement tests were administered to 674 preservice teachers enrolled in two of Zimbabwe's teachers' training colleges. Results indicated that performance objectives were relatively superior to the other treatment variables. (AEF)
