Student Perception of Teacher Clarity in Mathematics.
Smith, Lyle R.; Land, Michael L.
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v11 n2 p137-47 Mar 1980
College students were randomly assigned to eight groups defined by the possible combinations of teacher-vagueness conditions, teacher-mazes conditions, and additional-unexplained-content conditions. The groups whose lessons contained no teacher mazes performed better on the test than the groups whose lessons contained teacher mazes. (Author/MK)
