Effectiveness of an Interactive Map Display in Tutoring Geography
Collins, Allan; And Others
Journal of Educational Psychology, 70, 1, 1-7, Feb 78
The effectiveness of the SCHOLAR computer-assisted instruction system was compared with: (1) the interactive map display of Map-SCHOLAR; (2) a static labeled map; and (3) an unlabeled map. Students learned significantly more with the interactive map display than with either of the other maps. A new method, backtrace analysis, was used to assess the effectiveness of each teaching technique. (Author/GDC)
