Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of two different types of advance organizers-visual statement and visual question in complementing animated instruction. 120 undergraduate students were randomly assigned to the control group and two experimental groups receiving treatments of visual statement advance organizer and visual question advance organizer. Four criterion measures were used to determine the effects of respective treatments. Results indicated that although there were no significant difference in scores on four measures between the two experimental groups, students in both the visual statement advance organizer group and visual question advance organizer group scored significantly higher on four measures than did the control group. This finding suggested that advance organizers are an important instructional variable for complementing animated instruction although all types of advance organizers are not equally effective in facilitating achievement of the different educational objectives.
