Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine which method of instruction--the lecture or the small group discussion--would achieve the best learning results as far as knowledge of certain unfamiliar materials was concerned.
Specifically, the author of this research study tried to answer this questions When an instructor is teaching "selected" reference books to average-ability sophomores in an English 10 library skills unit at Fort Dodge Senior High School, Fort Dodge, Iowa, which method of instruction--the lecture or the small group discussion--will achieve the best learning results as measured by an author- constructed post-test?
In this research study the author predicted a null hypothesis, no significant difference in student learning achievement as measured by an author-constructed post-test in English 10 library skills unit of "selected" reference books will be found between the lecture and the small group discussion methods of teaching.
