This study was designed to determine whether there was a | |
difference in either the overall frequency or the | |
frequency of specific types of student verbal | |
interactions under three conditions: (1) teleconferenced | |
instruction where students had two-way audio and video | |
contact with the instructor; (2) teleconferenced | |
instruction where students had only two-way audio contact | |
with the instructor; and (3) traditional face-to-face | |
instruction. Hypotheses tested by the study related to | |
the numbers of verbal interactions in each of the three | |
conditions, including restricted and expanded thinking | |
questions and responses (Equivalent Talk Categories-- | |
ETC's). Subjects were 172 students enrolled in Classroom | |
Educational Technology at the University of Northern | |
Colorado, who were assigned to one of three treatment | |
groups. Two-way audio and video teleconferencing | |
facilities between two buildings on UNC's Greeley campus | |
were utilized to deliver instruction for the two | |
experimental groups; the third group received face-to- | |
face instruction via lecture. Two lessons were presented: | |
"Topics in Distance Education," which utilized handouts | |
with true-false questions, open-ended questions, and case | |
studies; and "Copyright Issues for Using Videotapes in | |
the Classroom," which was videotaped and coded according | |
to ETC's. One-way ANOVA's and t-tests were conducted for | |
each of the ETC's. Results indicated that the | |
experimental groups did not differ significantly in any | |
of the ETC's or in the total number of interactions, and | |
that the traditional (control) group generally interacted | |
more than either of the teleconference groups both in | |
terms of total number of interactions and in several of | |
the ETC's. It is recommended that future studies focus on | |
the role of nonverbal interactions in visual delivery | |
modes. (10 references) (BBM) | |
