This study attempts to determine if utilization of behavioral objectives in the freshman biology sequence significantly improved student achievement. The mean grade point of students in the sequence in the two years preceding the use of behavioral objectives was compared with the mean grade point of students in the sequence in two years when behavioral objectives were applied.

The directional hypothesis was tested at the .05 level of significance for a …
