Abstract
The problem with which this research is concerned is that of determining the effectiveness of television instruction as compared to conventional instruction. Data was secured by organizing control and experimental groups in Finite Math and General Botany. The control groups received their instruction via conventional means. The experimental groups received their instruction via live or closed circuit television. The next step was to secure student and instructor opinions concerning television instruction. The achievement of the groups was tested using the “null hypothesis.” The .05 level was used to accept or reject each research hypothesis. This research indicated that there was no significant difference between the methods used in Finite Math. Although slight, there was a significant difference in General Botany.Keywords
