The effectiveness of using a commercially available computerized study guide to improve performance on examinations in two general psychology courses was investigated. The experimental design required 37 students to use a computerized study guide on two examinations and not on two others, counterbalanced across two classes. Analysis suggested that use of the study guides was associated with an increase in examination scores. These commercially available computerized study guides may be effective because they use many empirically established general principles of learning.

This paper summarizes research conducted on three computer-based video models’ effectiveness for learning based on memory and comprehension. In this quantitative study, a two-minute video presentation was created and played back in three different types of media players, for a sample of eighty-seven college freshman. The three players evaluated include a standard QuickTime video/audio player, a QuickTime player with embedded triggers that launched HTML-based study guide pages, and a Macromedia Flash-based video/audio player with a text field, with user activated links to the study guides as well as other interactive on-line resources. An assumption guiding this study was that the enhanced designs presenting different types of related information would reinforce the material and produce better comprehension and retention. However, findings indicate that the standard video player was the most effective overall, which suggests that media designs able to control the focus of a learner’s attention to one specific stream of information, a single-stream focused approach, may be the most effective way to present media-based content. Résumé: Cet article résume une étude vérifiant l’efficacité de l’apprentissage basé sur la mémorisation et la compréhension, conduite à partir de trois modèles basés sur la vidéo informatisée. Dans cette étude quantitative, une vidéo de deux minutes a été créée et lue sur trois types de lecteurs différents, pour un échantillon de 87 étudiants universitaires de première année. Les trois lecteurs évalués comprenaient un lecteur standard audio/vidéo Quicktime, un lecteur Quicktime avec déclencheurs intégrés qui lançait un guide d’étude en HTML, et un lecteur audio/vidéo Flash Macromedia avec un champ texte, comprenant des liens activés par l’usager vers des guides d’étude et d’autres ressources interactives en ligne. Une supposition guidant cette étude était que les designs enrichis présentant différents types d’informations interreliées renforceraient le matériel et produiraient une meilleure compréhension et une meilleure rétention. Cependant, les résultats indiquent que le lecteur vidéo standard était le plus efficace, ce qui suggère que les designs de médias concentrant l’attention de l’apprenant sur une source d’information spécifique seraient la meilleure façon de présenter du contenu médiatisé.

Students frequently request concept-list study guides prior to exams, but the benefits of instructors providing such resources are unclear. Research on memory and comprehension has suggested that some challenges in learning are associated with benefits to performance. In the context of an introductory psychology course, a study was conducted to investigate the impact of providing a concept-list study guide on exam performance, as opposed to having students create a study guide. Additionally, student preferences for various types of study guides were examined. Results indicated that although students greatly prefer that the instructors provide a study guide (as opposed to making their own), providing a concept-list study guide resulted in poorer exam performance. These results call for future research on the influence of study guides on student performance.

Students often request study guides; however, the impact of study guides on student learning is mixed. Here, some evidence on student study guide usage and collaborative learning is briefly reviewed. This information helped to shape the development of a collaborative activity where student groups create their own study guide questions based on the chapter learning outcomes. Requiring students to collaborate and create their own study guides may encourage a higher engagement with and deeper processing of the course content.

Background: The role of the preparation or study guide in interteaching is relatively unexplored. One study demonstrated that having students create their own study guide was just as effective as completing a teacher-created study guide. Objective: The purpose of this study was to replicate and extend the methods of previous research to compare the effects of student-created to teacher-created study guides on student learning. Method: We compared the effects of teacher-created to student-created study guides on student quiz scores within the context of an interteaching framework using multi-element designs. We counterbalanced the order of study guide implementation for a total of 24 quizzes across two classes of 25 students each. Results: Quiz scores were high overall, and the most effective study guide type varied across class sections; student-created was more effective for Class 1 and teacher-created was more effective for Class 2. Conclusion: Interteaching resulted in high quiz scores (above 80%) overall, regardless of study guide type. There may be an interaction between discussion length, instructor, and study guide type that warrants further investigation. Teaching Implications: The results of this study suggest that instructors using the interteaching format can save time in preparing for their class by having the students create their own study guides while still promoting quality learning.
