Some primary ratable characteristics of instructional films

Abstract

Three kinds of estimates of the quality of an instructional film had been obtained: measures of learning based on test results; estimates (judgments, ratings) by people who have seen the film; and ratings of the affective impacts of the film. From the present study, factor analysis "… suggests that test-measured learning gains from a film are more or less independent of ratings of learning or ratings of the affective qualities of the film." An "I am learning" scale, a "Like-Dislike" scale, and a "Good-Bad Film" scale seem to be rating the same function. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
