- Summary:
-
This is the first in a series of reports which summarize research studies dealing with college level economics education that is personalized, individualized, or self paced. The major purpose is to inform interested economic educators of the studies that have been done, to summarize the results, and to identify various research designs and statistical techniques that others might want to use. Forty studies are described. Most were done in the 1970s. The introductory 15 pages give an overview of the research. Most studies indicate that personalized or individualized instruction is as effective as the traditional lecture discussion approach. Many suggest that programmed materials save time for both student and instructor and can be less expensive than the traditional approaches. The use of television, computer assisted instruction, tutors, and case studies is tested in several studies, and some deal with various combinations of approaches. Some researchers believe that no single method is best, but that certain combinations such as programmed instruction with games and simulations or with an audio visual tutorial system yield superior results.
