An evaluation of programmed text, slide-tape, and lecture at six dental schools.
The results of previous studies reported in the literature have been inconclusive as regards the effectiveness of programmed instruction as compared to the lecture method. The results of this study demonstrate that the formats are, in the end, of similar effectiveness. Therefore, the choice of teaching format in a dental school can safely be based on considerations other than the amount of learning that will occur.
