| contents | Utilization of PowerPoint Presentation Software in Library Instruction of Subject Specific Reference Sources. Bushong, Sara Class Activities Computer Assisted Instruction Data Analysis Higher Education Instructional Effectiveness Instructional Material Evaluation Instructional Materials Library Instruction Library Research Postsecondary Education Reference Materials Research Methodology Teacher Education Teaching Methods Visual Aids This paper reports on a study conducted to determine if PowerPoint presentation is the most effective medium to explain two reference books: "The Storyteller's Sourcebook" and "A Guide to Folktales in the English Language." A secondary purpose was to see if the students who saw the PowerPoint presentation received higher grades/scores for an assignment than those who only received oral instructions. Participants in this study were the 122 undergraduate students in four sections of a Children's Literature course at Bowling Green State University. All sections received oral instructions, and two sections received additional instruction through a PowerPoint presentation. After the assignment was graded, students completed a survey on demographic information and attitudes toward the session. Demographic and attitude data was analyzed by simple frequency counts and cumulative frequency percentages, and a one-tailed t test was used to compare the attitude data. Results indicated a slightly higher number of PowerPoint students needed help from library staff. The non-PowerPoint students felt the presentation was more helpful in understanding the reference books. The non-PowerPoint groups felt the presenter was more enthusiastic. Grade comparisons were not statistically significant. Nine appendices contain: assignment descriptions; hands-on exercise; PowerPoint slides; cover letters; surveys; and six selected sources. Contains 13 references. (Author/DLS) |
