A study of students, at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, enrolled in a secondary education methods course in either the two-day or one-evening sections, tested their ability to relate educational theory logically to practice.

The audio-tutorial method of instruction has been used in a freshman biology course at the University of North Dakota since 1966. It seems to be as effective as the conventional method, if achievement is the only consideration, but more significant if other implications are assessed. (LBH)
