Audio vs. Visual Learning

CSEF · 2005 Behavioral Sciences

Ketaki M. Panse · Dartmouth Middle School, Hemet

Overview

Objectives/Goals The purpose of this project is to determine what kind of information, audio or visual, is easier for students to remember. Methods/Materials The materials I used were computer paper, a tape recorder, audio tapes, a computer, a printer, a copy machine, and a Language Arts book. I tested thirty students. First I had them read three articles and then answer comprehensive questions. Then I played a tape with three articles on it and had the students answer questions. I graded all the tests to see if visual cues or audio cues are easier for students to remember. Results The average percent correct was 72% for the visual group and 53.7% for the audio group. Out of thirty students, twenty-five did better on the visual tests, two did better on the audio tests, and three did equally well on both tests. Conclusions/Discussion My project showed that audio information is easier to remember than visual information. This proves my hypothesis correct.

Summary statement

I tested thirty stduents to see what kind of information, audio or visual, is easier to remember.
