THE AUTHOR EXAMINES THE DISPLAY AND RESPONSE CHARACTERISTICS BY WHICH A STUDENT CAN INTERACT WITH A SUBJECT-MATTER DISCIPLINE. THIS DOCUMENT IS A REVISION OF A REPORT ISSUED UNDER THE SAME TITLE IN 1964 (ED 003 167). THE TERM "INTERFACE" IS USED TO REPRESENT THE DISPLAY MEDIA AND CONTROLS WITH WHICH THE STUDENT HAS DIRECT CONTACT. THE DISPLAY…

THIS COLLECTION OF PAPERS CONSTITUTES THE FINAL REPORT OF A PROJECT DEVOTED TO AN ANALYSIS OF THE BEHAVIORAL PROCESSES UNDERLYING PROGRAMED INSTRUCTION. THE PAPERS ARE GROUPED UNDER THREE HEADINGS--(1) "PROGRAMING RESEARCH," (2) "BASIC SKILLS--RATIONALE AND PROCEDURE," AND (3) "BASIC SKILLS--SPECIFIC SKILLS." THE…

Music score reading ability defined in this study as skill in the detection and identification of pitch and rhythmic errors, is a necessary requisite for teachers of instrumental music. In an effort to devise an instructional method for teaching score reading skill, self instructional programed drill materials were developed and the use of these…

Ten experts in the field of programed instruction have contributed articles to this book. The articles are designed to show what programed learning is, where it is currently being used and with what success, and how to make the most effective use of programed materials. They demonstrate the use of programed instruction in spelling, reading, social…

In addition to updating material covered in the second edition and providing more illustrative material, this edition attempts to offer a systematic approach to the integration of instructional aids into the curriculum.

A TEACHING MACHINE PRESENTS A SERIES OF PROBLEM MATERIALS TO A STUDENT, REQUIRES AN OVERT BEHAVIORAL RESPONSE, AND PROVIDES RESULTS OF THE BEHAVIOR IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE RESPONSE. THERE WERE EIGHT GROUPS OF 10 JUNIOR COLLEGE STUDENTS WHO WERE EXPERIMENTALLY TRAINED WITH MANUALLY CONTROLLED TEACHING MACHINES, EACH GROUP WAS TAUGHT WITH A…

THE RESULTS OF INVESTIGATIONS CONDUCTED DURING THE PAST 6 YEARS IN SELF-INSTRUCTION IN FOREIGN LANGUAGES HAVE LED RESEARCHERS TO CONCLUDE THAT TOTAL PROGRAMED INSTRUCTION SEEMS PRODUCTIVE ONLY IN CASES WHERE THE TERMINAL BEHAVIOR TO BE ACHIEVED IS VERY LIMITED. EXPERIMENTS HAVE SHOWN THAT IT IS MOST USEFUL IN MODULES AT EARLY LEVELS FOR TEACHING…

THIS PROGRAMED INSTRUCTION TEXT WAS DEVELOPED FOR USE IN AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY. APPROXIMATELY 600 INSTRUCTIONAL STEPS PRESENT THEORY ON ELECTRIC CIRCUITS, ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS, AND RADIO CIRCUITS. EACH STEP REQUIRES THE COMPLETION OF A STATEMENT WITH AT LEAST ONE WRITTEN ANSWER. THE LABORATORY EXERCISES WHICH ACCOMPANY THIS TEXT HAVE THE…
