Transfer of Learning on Similar Metric Conversion Tasks |
| |
| Abstract: | AbstractIt was hypothesized that Ss who demonstrate mastery of linear metric conversion tasks on which they have received explicit instruction will demonstrate mastery of other linear metric conversion tasks, metric volume conversion tasks, and metric mass conversion tasks with no explicit instruction. Ninety-nine pre-service elementary teachers were presented with a tutorial instructional module on basic terminology of the metric system. The module and all tests were mediated by an IBM 1500 Computer-Assisted Instruction system located in Penn State University’s CAI Laboratory. The results supported each hypothesis of the investigation. |
