| Abstract/Contents: | "Videotapes have been utilized in various crops and soils courses to supplement lecture and laboratory material. Little is known in agronomic education regarding how videotapes compare with more traditional teaching methods and overall student attitudes toward their use. The objectives of this study were to determine (i) the effectiveness of videotapes compared with other teaching methods; (ii) if videotapes depicting various aspects of turfgrass management could effectively supplement the lecture and laboratory portions of the course; and (iii) student attitudes concerning their self-perceived knowledge improvement and overall acceptance of the use of videotapes as a supplemental teaching aid. During the spring of 1989, six videotapes were utilized to supplement the lecture and laboratory material in an introductory turfgrass management course at the University of Georgia. The video topics included: pesticide handling, equipment calibration, lawn aeration, turf insects, turf weeds, and maintenance of reel mowers. One laboratory section was required to view the videotapes, while another section was not. Although the video users attributed 23 to 36% of their knowledge of various turfgrass topics to the use of the videos, there was no difference in grades between them and the nonuser group. Thirty-nine percent of the video users stated the videotapes should be continued on a mandatory basis, while 44% indicated they should be voluntary. However, students thought the use of other teaching aids, such as live plant specimens and field trips were more effective than videotapes. In general, students perceived the use of videos as a positive supplement to the turfgrass management course, but not as a substitution for traditional teaching methods." |
