“…Students in the independent study mode outperformed students in the TV lecture- In numerous comparative studies, students enrolled in PSI and independent study sections of courses have been shown to score higher on course examinations than students in the lecture sections of the course (Born et al, 1972;Cooper and Greiner, 1971;Hartnett and Stewart, 1966;Hastings, 1972;Jacko, 1974;Johnston and Pennypacker, 1971;McMichael and Corey, 1969;Moore, Hauck, and Gagne, 1973;Morris and Kimbrell, 1972;Sheppard and MacDermot, 1970).…”

The study focused on the interactive effects of achievement anxiety, academic achievement, and instructional mode on performance and course attitudes. A second concern of the study was to ascertain the differential effect of instructional mode on achievement anxiety of subgroups of students enrolled in an undergraduate clothing design course. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANO VA) was used to assess the interactive effects of achievement anxiety, cumulative point‐hour ratio (CPHR), and instructional mode on (a) two tests designed to measure knowledge and application of course content and (b) a course at titude scale. There were no significant interactions nor main effects. However, there was evidence that for the students with low CPHR and initially high debilitative anxiety, the TV lecture‐supervised laboratory mode provided a learning environment more facilitating in regard to achievement anxiety than the independent study mode.

“…Students who are sent out of the class with the textbook only do better on a test of knowledge of the text than do students who have had a chance to get other ideas from a teacher or class discussion (Hartnett & Stewart, 1966;Parsons, 1957;Parsons, Ketcham, & Beach, 1958). On the other hand, if students undertaking independent study are expected to read other books or listen to other points of view as well as the text, they probably will do less well on the examination on the text.…”
