Abstract
Purpose: To conduct an experimental comparison to determine if operating instructions for ten-key business machines can be presented as effectively by an audio-programmed system as by the traditional method. Method and Sources: Two levels of students, secondary and post secondary, were divided into equal-sized control and experimental groups. The control groups followed the traditional method; the experimental groups were instructed by specially prepared audio instructional tapes with a correlated program folder of examples, exercises, and evaluations . All groups were given an achievement test evaluating speed and accuracy in addition and efficiency in applicable business problems. Findings: Experimental groups achieved higher mean scores. At the .05 level of significance, there was a significant difference in achievement in favor of the experimental group at the high school level. Students liked the audio method. There was indication that both student and teacher productivity increased.
