- Abstract
The article describes an investigation to determine the extent of subject matter retention promoted by filmed physics and chemistry courses as contrasted with subject matter retention through conventional chemistry and physics classes. The study tests the hypothesis that students enrolled in film-taught chemistry and physics classes have the same rate of retention of the subject matter as those in conventional classes. Students in 12 secondary schools in Kansas participated in the study. "Cooperative Physics and Cooperative Chemistry Tests" were used to obtain measures of student achievement. The "Otis Quick Scoring Mental Ability Test" assessed intellectual aptitude.
