Abstract
The problem involved in this experimental study was to ascertain the effect of speed-up teaching methods and procedures on the outcomes of industrial education classes. Speed-up methods and procedures utilized with the experimental group were implemented in eight defined ways. Data for the study were obtained through the experimental method under actual teaching conditions.
Teaching methods and procedures designed to emphasize speed of performance were both beneficial and detrimental. Such methods and procedures resulted in a greater quantity of work but also resulted in more errors, greater dependence on the teacher to save time, and the waste of more materials. However, the quality of work was not affected, but the instructor’s task was more difficult.
