In the current study we examined students' course performance, perceptions, and self-reported use of an open textbook compared to a traditional publisher's textbook in an introductory psychology course. Sixty students from two course sections used either an open textbook or a traditional textbook. To minimize the effect of confounding variables, each section was taught by the same instructor, at the same time of day, using identical in-class materials, syllabi, and sequencing, on alternating days of the week. Course performance was measured by analyzing exam scores and final course grades. A 22-item survey was utilized at the end of the term to measure students' textbook perceptions and use. Findings revealed no significant differences in student course performance or textbook use across the two sections. Participants in both groups perceived cost, weight, and convenience as the biggest advantages of an open textbook and perceived ease of reading, convenience, ability to highlight and take notes, ability to quickly find a topic, and ability to keep as a reference as the biggest advantages of a traditional textbook. Finally, when asked to select which type of textbook they preferred, students in each section selected the textbook they were using. The implications of these findings are discussed.

开放与传统心理学教科书:学生表现、感知和使用

在当前的研究中,我们检查了学生的课程表现、看法和自我报告的使用开放教科书与传统出版商的入门心理学课本教科书的比较。来自两个课程部分的 60 名学生使用开放式教科书或传统教科书。为了尽量减少混杂变量的影响,每个部分由同一位教师在一天中的同一时间使用相同的课堂材料、教学大纲和顺序,在一周中的交替日进行教学。课程表现是通过分析考试成绩和最终课程成绩来衡量的。在学期末进行了一项包含 22 项的调查,以衡量学生对教科书的看法和使用情况。调查结果显示,这两个部分在学生课程表现或教科书使用方面没有显着差异。两组参与者都将成本、重量和便利性视为开放教科书的最大优势,并认为阅读的轻松性、便利性、突出显示和做笔记的能力、快速找到主题的能力以及作为参考的能力。传统教科书的最大优势。最后,当被要求选择他们喜欢哪种类型的教科书时,每个部分的学生都选择了他们正在使用的教科书。讨论了这些发现的含义。每个部分的学生选择他们正在使用的教科书。讨论了这些发现的含义。每个部分的学生选择他们正在使用的教科书。讨论了这些发现的含义。
