Abstract | This study was an attempt to relate attitude, critical operation, terminal achievement and residual performance to the use of behavioral objectives while teaching a Basic Science I class. The vocational students who were the subjects of this study exhibited similar characteristics, having IQ's ranging from below 70 to 105 and reading levels from second to ninth grades. Treatment for the experimental group differed only in one respect. During the lecture that initiated each daily module, each student in this group was given a copy of the behavioral objectives to be used as a study guide. A student was to consider his efforts in completing the module successful when he was capable of doing all the tasks specified by the objectives. Following the completion of eight modules, a two-day test requiring manipulative demonstrations of the skills taught was given. Analysis of variance was used to determine significant differences between treatments and among ability groups. Prior knowledge of behavioral objectives produced significantly better performance by all in terminal achievement, critical operations, residual achievement and attitude toward instruction. The Iowa Test of Educational Development ability levels affected performance. Significant F ratios showed positive attitude gains for the experimental population. (Author/EB) |
