Design
The design chosen for this study was The Recurrent Institutional Cycle Design described by Campbell and Stanley (18:56). The advantage of the design stems from two important considerations:
1. It is effective for use in a situation where a
training material is continually being presented
to a new group of teachers.
2. It allows for experimental and control groups
while not limiting treatment to any of the participants.
The design may be graphically represented as follows:
INSTITUTIONAL CYCLE DESIGN
Group A X 01
Group B1 R 02 X 03 Group B2 R X 04
Group C 05 X
Symbols X treatment (module)
0 observation instrument R random assignment Teachers who volunteered to use the module were assigned to three groups, A,B, or C. Group B was then further subdivided by using a table of random numbers.
