A laboratory experiment was carried out with 120 undergraduate students to examine a possible aptitude-treatment interaction between teacher clarity and student test anxiety in relation to two outcome measures, namely student achievement and student motivation, with student intelligence statistically controlled. Students completed measures of…

This study aimed at comparing the effectiveness of problem-based learning (PBL) and traditional lecture-based instruction on elementary school students' academic achievement and performance skills in a science unit on genetics while controlling for their reasoning ability. For the specified purpose, two instructional methods were randomly assigned…

Presented is an abstract of a study done to try to determine a set of variables which are capable of accounting for a significant amount of variation in algebra achievement in each of two instructional formats. Tables representing final grade distributions, initial comparison of groups, and comparability of volunteer subgroup variables are…

Examines how reading ability relates to course performance in an introductory developmental psychology course. Compares personalized system of instruction (PSI) to contingency managed lecture (CML) sections.
