A brief course in the teaching process

by George D. Strayer

As table XXIV is part of the discussion of factors in time expenditure, its sample readings are given under that heading, page 62.

The Relation of Time Expenditure to Abilities Produced

The reader found one indication of the relation, or lack of relation, between time cost and products in tables XXII and XXIII. Each of the three following tables expresses these same facts.

TABLE XXV

Comparison of the Achievements of the Systems having Less than
Median Time Cost with those having More

	Combined Scores of the Thirteen Systems
	With less than median time cost	With more than median time cost	With less than median time cost	With more than median time cost
	Including home study		Without home study
Reasoning	7,519	7,893	7,277	8,135
Fundamentals	40,751	40,273	37,165	43,859

TABLE XXVI

Ratio of Time Expenditures to Abilities[38]
