RESEARCH QUESTION / HYPOTHESIS
The hypotheses:

1. Learning from a given instructional program will be facilitated in direct proportion to the implementation of first principles of instruction.
2. Learning from a given instructional program will be facilitated in direct proportion to the degree that first principles of instruction are explicitly implemented rather than haphazardly implemented.
