Summary

An experiment was carried out which contrasted the effectiveness of a conventional instructional methodversus a method based upon tape recorded lectures plus student-led discussions. Subjects for the pilot experiment were 36 students enrolled in a pre-service teacher education course at San Francisco State College. The conventionally-taught section was instructed by a standard lecturediscussion approach. The tape-taught section listened to hour-long taped lectures, and discussed the content of the lectures with the assistance of a student discussion leader. After the initial meeting of the semester, the instructor had no contact with the tape-taught class. On the basis of group performance on several criterion measures, no significant differences between the conventionallytaught and the tape-taught students were found. It was concluded that the instructional technique featuring taped lectures was effective.
