Higginbotham-Wheat, Nancy – 1988
Research in the field of computer based instruction (CBI) has led to conflicting evidence on the efficacy of learner control over instruction. Typical implementations of learner control in CBI allow learners to proceed at their own pace, control the sequence of instruction, choose the amount of practice, or decide the level of difficulty…

Download full textJudd, Wilson A. – 1972
Research on which aspects of the instructional process are most appropriately placed under learner control is reviewed. The review covers representative experiments from the 1960's in brief and experiments at the University of Texas from 1970 to 1973 in more detail. Although it appears that learner control can be helpful in mainline…

Chung, Jaesam; Reigeluth, Charles M. – Educational Technology, 1992
Discussion of learner control in instructional management describes six learner control methods: (1) content control; (2) sequence control; (3) pace control; (4) display or strategy control; (5) internal processing control; and (6) advisor strategies. Relevant literature, both theoretical and empirical, is reviewed, and learner control and…

WALLIS, D.; AND OTHERS – 1967
THE BRITISH ARMED SERVICES HAVE APPLIED PROGRAMING IN SCHOLASTIC SUBJECTS. A MARKED IMPROVEMENT IN THE TECHNOLOGY OF TRAINING HAS RESULTED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MORE SYSTEMATIC DERIVATION OF TRAINING OBJECTIVES, CLOSER ASSESSMENT OF KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITY OF POTENTIAL STUDENTS, AND MORE ACCURATE SPECIFICATION OF CONTENTS, METHODS, AND MATERIALS…

Peer reviewedMilheim, William D. – Educational and Training Technology International, 1990
Discusses research on learner control, pacing, and sequence, and describes a study of undergraduates that was conducted to determine the effects of learner versus program control of pacing and sequence in an interactive video lesson on photography. Results are analyzed, and suggestions for further research are given. (38 references) (LRW)
