to solve the exercises; the interpretation of the ex-
ercises presented for solution; the types of errors
made and the causes of these errors; the ability
to perform the different activities required in the
study of science.22
Be&uchamp was. then led to investigate the factors which in-
fluence the progress of pupils in the attainment of specific
learning products. Ms findings are extremely interesting
when compared with the views expressed by Bennett with re-
gard to failures in chemistry. Beauchamp found that:
1. The teacher has little if any effect upon
the total time and number of attempts, or upon the
extent of the individual differences and individual
variations in completing the exercises*
2. The technique of instruction exerts a greater
Influence upon the total time required to complete
the exercises than do the Individual differences in
the. pupils themselves.
3. The technique of instruction influences to
a small degree the variability in the amount of time
required to complete the unit.

any effect upon the individual variations in the
time required for completing the exercises of the
different units
