Erickson, as¬ sistant dean in charge of TV education at the Chicago City Junior College. When taken as a group, the study revealed, TV students did better on examinations and earned better marks than the daytime classroom students. Erickson attributes this to the fact that the former were older, more mature, and as a group, of higher college aptitude. College aptitude was measured by a test administered to TV and classroom students at registration time. Plans are presently in progress for a second year of experimentation in televised higher education through the College’s station WTTW-Channel 11. The 1957-58 experimental design will be refined to control more of the factors which might affect re¬ search results. The TV students will be compared with evening classroom students rather than day students as in the past year. This will make for more equivalence of age, maturity and motivation. From the two groups pairs will be selected, match¬ ing each TV student with a classroom student. These pairs will be equated insofar as possible on age, col¬ lege ability, sex, previous training and employment load. The achievement of the pairs will be compared by subject based on pre-tests, mid-term quizzes and final examinations.
