| Abstract | A study examined how W. Stephenson's Q-methodology can be used as an instructional technique in teaching speech communication. The method was applied to an undergraduate communication theory class of 14 students who constructed, completed, and analyzed their own 59-item Q-sort about principles of communication theory. The process, which identified the "typical communicator" and the "nonverbal communicator," required that the students make choices about their values and feelings about communication theories and enabled them to compare their responses to those of their classmates. A second class developed a 44-statement Q-sort on computer apprehension that was administered to 63 people and that identified the "computer enthusiast," the "user skeptic," and the "talker," i.e., the way computers change communication among people. Results on course evaluations revealed that students considered the use of Q to be a valuable and interesting learning tool. Students indicated a strong sense of accomplishment in creating their own study in which they collected data, analyzed information, and evaluated results. (Three tables are included, student instructions are appended, and 39 references are attached.) (KEH) |
