Description
Summary:Thesis (M.Ed.)--Memorial University of Newfoundland, 1982. Education Bibliography: leaves 56-60. -- CD-ROM version has title: Placentia - the French regime, 1662-1713. QEII has photocopy. The purpose of this report is to describe the steps followed in the development of an instructional unit on the history of the French settlement at Placentia from 1662-1713, to supplement the Grade Five history program. An instructional design model was followed and a slide-tape format was chosen as the medium of presentation for the material. The project was evaluated by specialists at the various levels of development and revisions were made. The instructional unit was subjected to an evaluation involving a pretest and a posttest. The results of the tests were analysed using several forms of data analysis. A resource materials form was also used to evaluate the content and the technical qualities, as well as the suitability of the instructional unit. Teachers involved in the evaluation recommended the slide-tape presentation, Placentia - The French Regime, 1662-1713 , for use in the Grade Five history program.
