A Comparison of the Effects of Information Mapped Learning Materials and Traditional Materials on the Learning of Concepts via the Printed Page and Computer Cathode Ray Tube.
Geisert, Paul
A study was made of the learning effects of information mapping; i.e., the technique of organizing materials on the printed page in a format which clearly illustrates the order and organization of the materials. The investigation of the effects of information mapping and information-mapped feedback on achievement, time variables, and attitude utilized the printed page and computer-assisted instruction. A systems approach was used to develop a set of hierarchically arranged learning materials. Forty-four members of the Army National Guard of Tallahassee served as subjects to compare information-mapped materials with traditional materials. No significant differences were found in the comparison of 15 dependent variables. Significant differences were demonstrated for all sttitudes toward the materials, with subjects showing more positive attitudes toward information-mapped materials than traditional materials. A trend in performance and time variables suggested that information mapped/feedback treatment resulted in better performance. (Author/MF)
