SELF-INSTRUCTION SUMMER COURSES IN RUSSIAN AND SPANISH WERE OFFERED TO OBTAIN SOME QUALIFIED ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS OF SUBJECT MATTER, MANNER OF PRESENTATION, AND SUBJECTS. THE PURPOSE WAS TO DEVELOP SOME EVIDENCE OF THE APPROPRIATENESS AND FEASIBILITY OF LATER USE OF THE PROGRAMED COURSES ON A BROADER SCALE. TWELVE SUBJECTS WERE USED FOR THE STUDY.…

AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO DETERMINE WHETHER THERE EXISTS ANY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ORAL RESPONSE IN LEARNING TO READ AND ACHIEVEMENT IN RECOGNITION AND UNDERSTANDING OF WRITTEN WORDS AND SENTENCES. THE TECHNIQUE OF PROGRAMED INSTRUCTION WAS CHOSEN FOR AND EXPERIMENT WITH 182 KINDERGARTEN CHILDREN. THREE ASPECTS WERE INVESTIGATED--AN EXPERIMENTAL…

Knowledge of results (KOR) is most frequently cited as the reinforcer in self-instructional systems. The printed answer in a programmed text, for example, is supposed to reinforce the response the student emits previous to observing that answer. Some other possible reinforcers are briefly discussed in this paper before the literature on KOR in…

This survey describes 15 systems that provide feedback to students. Feedback is defined as information transfer from the instructional material to the student after a response is made by the student. The feedback is directed primarily to the student, but when a permanent record of the response occurs this information is also available to the…

Programed instruction in the Soviet Union is based on the sequential delivery of questions and automatic evaluation of responses. Programs may be linear or may provide for branching that accommodates differences in individual learning styles. Computer models have been developed to simulate job functions and to teach speed-reading. Their use can…

From a review of relevant literature and conference reports, guidelines were prepared for assessing the value of automated instructional materials. Major points included: (1) a definition of automated instruction; (2) a comparison of Skinner and Crowder methods; (3) benefits of automation; (4) general sources of automated materials; (5) benefits…
