The introduction of audio cassettes in an integrated study package in solving the problems of adult distance education students in Lesotho

This research project reports on an empirical study on the suitability and feasibility of audio
cassette lectures in solving the study problems of adult distance education students.
Having reviewed relevant literature on the subject the researcher collected data through:
(a) Empirical investigation by contituting a two-group (experimental/control) design.
(b) Questionnaires to find out opinions of students on audio cassettes.
The study reveals that there is a significnt difference between the academic achievement
of students who study via audio cassette lectures in addition to textbooks and face-to-face
lectures and those who study through textbooks and face-to-face lectures only. The study
therefore validates audio cassette lectures in an integrated study package.
Other outcomes of the study are:
(a) Suggestions to l.E.M.S. authorities to introduce audio cassette lectures on l.E.M.S.
part-time courses.
(b) Suggestions to course organisers at 1.E.M.S. to liaise with distance education
institutions to adopt their instructional strategies. / Teacher Education / M. Ed. (Didactics)
