Interteaching: Its effects on exam scores in a compressed-schedule
format
Abstract: Although previous research has found interteaching to be an effective
form of instruction, all of the currently published data have been collected in
courses that have allowed for a minimum of 48 hours between class sessions. In
the current study, we examined the effectiveness of interteaching compared to
traditional lecture during a six week summer session of a behavior modification
course. Two non-concurrent sections of the behavior modification course were
taught during which the instructor alternated between interteaching and
traditional lecture. These courses were counterbalanced, such that when material
from one section was covered using an interteaching approach, the same material
in the other section was presented using a traditional lecture. Unlike previous
studies, students did not score higher on exams following interteaching sessions.
Additionally, students indicated a preference for lecture-based instruction as
opposed to interteaching. Interpretations of these results, the social validity
responses, practical implications, and recommendations for additional research
are discussed.
