Abstract
The purpose of this study was to measure the relative effectiveness of two methods of teaching drug education to preservice elementary school teachers. The methods compared were the traditional teacher confined approach, and the value clarification group-centered process. The latter approach was found to be superior in all ways measured. Members of this group read more independently, achieved greater gain scores in affective and cognitive testing, and they developed a sense of community that brought them together to solve problems.
