The Impact

A quasi experiment with interview was adopted to study the aptness of using 3D animations as an instructional method to introduce programming concepts to students at the Senior High School level. This research work was conducted with 100 students of Akroso Senior High School in the Birim central municipality of the eastern region of Ghana who were generally programming novice. Programming concepts considered included programming environments, loops, functions sequential and conditional execution of programs. A paired t-test carried out on the results of the performance test presents a p-value of 0.008 indicative of a numerically significant difference between the mean marks of participants during the experiments that used 3D animation method as against the experiments that used the text base method. Results from the interview showed that the instructional method used had impact on the performance of the learners. The use of 3D animation method presented programming concepts in a form that the learners can understand, motivates them to pursue programming related courses at a higher level and also impacts positively on their performance.

Reading Miscues

Miscue analysis procedures are becoming increasingly popular for both research and evaluation purposes. Although there are no normative data available to guide the interpretation of a reader's oral reading miscues, there are a number of studies which may be used for this purpose. However the evidence also suggests that miscue patterns are subject to considerable variation as a function of a complex interaction among several factors including instructional method, the reader's background, skills, and purpose for reading, and the nature and content of the written material. The information reported to date suggests that both the assumptions underlying miscue analysis and the procedures used to analyze miscues require additional rigorous empirical explication and validation.
