Abstract: | AbstractThe technique described was used as a trial method to achieve increased efficiency in teaching and to insure the highest possible performance of the class and especially among the below-average members. Programmed instruction material was modified as to style and used as a lecture preview. Freshmen medical students were divided into control and experimental groups with only the latter having access to programmed lecture preview material.Expectations were supported in that the below-average student in the experimental group improved his performance and in this study the above-average student also showed significant improvement.This teaching technique appears valuable and warrants further experimental use as an ancillary technique for teaching in professional schools. |
