The effect of inserted feedback in an instructional film presenting rule learning was investigated. Two hundred and thirty-nine students registered for the course CHM-1045 at the Chemistry Department of Florida State University were randomly assigned to designated groups. A two-stage investigation procedure was used. / First Stage. Because of the limitations of the facilities and funds, video tape was substituted for 16 mm film as the medium for embedding feedback. In order to verify that the substitution of the medium of presentation resulted in no significant learning difference, subjects were assigned to two groups: (a) the first group viewed a Chemistry film projected by means of a 16 mm projector, and (b) the second group viewed the same film through a 3/4" video cassette recorder (VCR). Pretests and posttests were given to the groups. Since no difference was found, the VCR was selected for the experiment. / Second Stage. The experiment was concerned with determining the effect of feedback in a film presenting rule learning. Therefore, the remaining subjects (117) were assigned to the two experimental groups: (a) the first group viewed a film with inserted questions only, and (b) the second group viewed the same film with identical questions plus the correct response to those questions as feedback. Similar pre and posttests given to the groups of the first stage were also administered to the groups of the second stage. The learning test examined student factual knowledge and rule learning presented in the 16 mm Chemistry film "Hydrogen Atom." The results were: (1) feedback contributes significantly ((alpha) = .05) to rule learning; (2) there was no statistically significant ((alpha) = .05) difference between the group receiving the VCR with inserted questions and the group receiving the VCR alone. However, comparisons of group performance showed a statistically significant ((alpha) = .05) difference between the group receiving the VCR with inserted questions and the group receiving the film version only. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 41-03, Section: A, page: 0922. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1980.
