- Abstract
The article describes an experiment designed to evaluate the filmed physics and chemistry courses in public secondary schools in Southeast Kansas. The first major research evaluation of the filmed physics course was the Wisconsin Physics Film Evaluation Project. No significant difference was evidenced between the achievement performance of the film taught and conventionally-taught students. The second attempt was conducted at the University of Kansas during 1958-59 academic year wherein no significant differences in achievement performances were found between the experimental and control groups. Results of the achievement analyses indicated that the chemistry films proved as effective as conventional methods, while students taught with the filmed physics series did not achieve as well as in conventional manner.
