Abstract
This study had three main objectives. They are, (1)
to investigate the effectiveness and the efficiency of an
instruction a 1 design fo·r roast e ry 1 earning (I DML) mode 1 ;
( 2)' to determine the relationships between a few
dependent variables (academic achievement, instructional
time and attitudes) and independent variables (academic
ability, cognitive style and prior knowledge) and (3) , to
explore teachers attitudes towards IDML model.
This study utilised a quasi-experimental de.s i gn
consisting of three suburban grade A secondary schools in
Klang. The subjects of the study were made up of 380 Form
Four students from both the good and weak classes.
The findings of this study are that both the treatment
groups, that is instructional desi·gn for mastery
learning group (IDML) and instructional design for modified
mastery learning group (IDMML) scored significantly
higher than the control group. This is true for the weak
classes but for the good classes the differences in the
scores are not significant. However, among the treatment
groups they do not differ significantly in their academic
achievement even though they differ significantly in their
instructional time.
The results of this study also showed that the
increase in academic achievement in the treatment groups
is followed by a significant increase in the instructi6nal
time. When the academic achievement a'1d the instructional
time were analysed together, the results showed that the
IDML model is more efficient for the weak classes whereas
the IDMML model has the highest efficiency for the good
classes.
In addition, this study showed that among the three
groups, only in the IDML group it was observed that
cognitive style, academic ability and prior knowledge
.
contributed significantly to the academic achievement of
the students. As for the other two groups, not all the
independent variables considered in the study contributed
significantly to the academic achievement of the students.
The study also showed that the IDML and the IDMML
instructional methods managed to narrow the academic
achievement gap between the high and the low ability
students. This achievement was obtained with a significant
increase in the instructional time. Further more, it was
observed that field-dependent students benefitted more
from structured instructional method than the field-
students! The results of this study also .

showed that the mea·n:·s,cores of the students without prior

knowledge from the't~~atment groups fall in the average
range. This achiev~~ent was obtained with a significant
increase in the instructional time.
Lastly, the students generally have positive
attitudes towards instructional design (ID) methods of
teaching. The teachers, on the other hand, have mixed
feelings. They agreed that ID methods are effective but
they were concerned with the increase in the instructional
time.
