Abstract | Using data from student surveys, the authors investigated reading behaviors and attitudes regarding the perceived usefulness of an assigned text and supplemental materials. The findings suggest that even when students are satisfied with the text, they are not likely to read the text as often as suggested, nor are they likely to use the supplemental materials (i.e., break out boxes, cases, and exercises) made available to them. Students do, however, demonstrate a preference toward PowerPoint slides over textbooks for class information. The authors propose several explanations for these behaviors, including the proliferation of information technology and new teaching pedagogies. (As Provided). |
