Research investigated the feasibility of a diagnostic | |
media test system. Two distinct tests were developed for | |
sixth grade and university populations, each having: 1) a | |
main phase with three specific teaching sequences, one | |
for each media form; 2) test items for each teaching | |
sequence; and 3) a validation phase with one teaching | |
sequence translated into each of the media forms and with | |
questions corresponding to this sequence. Main phase test | |
scores generated individual media effectiveness profiles; | |
in retesting, each student took the validation test in | |
the media form which his profile indicated as most | |
effective. High positive correlations resulted. For | |
university students, slides/tapes and tests were more | |
effective than audio tapes, whereas for sixth graders | |
programed instruction was best. The investigation showed | |
the model was feasible and generalizable, that either the | |
tests often did not discriminate well or that for many | |
individuals there was little difference between the | |
effectiveness of some media forms, and that teachers can | |
produce media diagnostic tests. Further research was | |
suggested for the affective and psychomotor domains, to | |
determine if time and experience influence profile | |
validity, and to see if practice or instruction affects | |
individual profiles. (Author/PB) | |
