The Impact of Sequenced Instruction
- Irrespective of library instruction, students who took PSY2010 before PSY3500 had higher scores in PSY3500 on average. When filtered by A's only, sequenced students showed an increase of 8% (sequenced A's=61%, non-sequenced A's=53%). When filtered by A's or B's, sequenced students showed an increase of 13% (sequenced A's=97%, non-sequenced A's=84%).
- A slightly larger increase exists when looking at students who had library instruction for both sequenced and non-sequenced students. When filtered by As only, sequenced students showed an increase of 6% (sequenced A's=62%, non-sequenced A's=56%). When filtered by A's or B's, sequenced students showed an increase of 13% (sequenced A's=98%, non-sequenced A's=85%).
