This review of 81 research studies is primarily confined to the research on business education that concerns relationships between teaching acts and learning outcomes. Attention is directed to investigations that permit generalizations about the consequences for learning of specifiable instructional behaviors bearing on the materials and methods of instruction. Most of the research reviewed applies to office occupations, principally typewriting and stenographic skills, and some to retailing and distributive occupations. The findings of the researches cited are stated, and their implications for instruction are specified. (Author/JS)
