The Utah State University Protocol Project developed and evaluated six protocol modules, each dealing with one important concept related to teacher language. The criterion for success for the project called for 80 percent of the field test participants to attain at least 80 percent mastery on the three criteria measures included as part of each Protocol Module. The results on the final field test with eighty-eight students indicated that more than 80 percent of the learners had reached the criterion level of mastery on all eighteen of the criterion measures. A student questionnaire was also administered yielding the following results:
1. Student perceptions of the protocol modules were
generally favorable.
2. Students regarded the audio and visual quality of
the protocol films to be satisfactory for the
most part.
3. They rated the various elements of the protocol
materials as satisfactory.
4. They regarded the protocol materials to be superior
to conventional education courses they had taken
in terms of quality of the educational content,
relevance, and interest level. (9)
