The major purpose of the study was to develop and evaluate a series of individualized modules for selected fundamental skills used in clothing construction. The sample (43 sub jects) of two sections of basic clothing construction was randomly selected from the six sections offered during a given term. The hypothesis stated that there would be no difference between a control group (traditional lecture‐demonstration) and an experimental group (using in dividualized modules) as measured by clothing construction experience in cognitive, perfor mance, and attitude scores. Statistical analyses included t‐test based upon experience score, analysis of variance, and chi‐square test for attitude questionnaire on all variables by group and experience level. Results indicated that: (1) individualized instruction may be a more ef fective mode of instruction than lecture‐demonstration, (2) integrating individualized instruc tion into a regular class situation can be managed with some degree of success, and (3) the in structional modules were effective instructional tools.
