Acquisition of a Concept: Effects of Mode of Instruction and Length of Exposure to Biology Examples

Koran, John J.; And Others

AV Communication Review, 24, 4, 357-66, Win 76

In this study of concept acquisition, the variables were inductive and deductive modes of instruction and exposure time to examples. The deductive method produced significantly higher posttest scores than the inductive. Longer exposure times were more effective than shorter times. There were no interactions between time and mode.
