Abstract
Instructional films, especially in primary and secondary education, are not just supposed to attain learning goals in a strict sense, as for example performance in objective criterion tests. The present paper however is only concerned with instructional films as learning aids in such a narrow sense. This restriction seems to have advantages on the grounds that most experimental research on instructional films has been carried out under this restricted aspect. As a further restriction this article is not meant to be a comprehensive review. The reference to some studies is only intended to shed some light upon some methodological problems that go along with research in this particular field.
