title: Evaluation of the time spent in learning from a programed text, a slide-tape, and a lecture at six dental schools.
abstract: 1. Programed text and slide-tape presentations required significantly less study time than the lecture method. 2. Students of varying academic ability required approximately the same amount of study time. 3. Familiarity with self-paced study methods did not significantly affect study time.
