"Managed" Learning. An Institute of Higher Education Occasional Paper.
Phillips, Herbert E.
A form of individualized instruction called "managed" learning is proposed. Three personnel types would be required in such a system: (1) coordinators responsible for providing some education to assigned students and "managing" the rest of the student's education; (2) general service personnel such as guidance, library, audio-visual, instructional resource, and administrative personnel; and (3) specialists to provide educational experiences to students at the request of the student's coordinator. Generally, coordinators would be responsible for laying out a student's educational program in accord with the student's objectives. Learning experiences could be obtained in a multi-modal manner including radio, TV, video-tape, readings, and independent study. Such experiences would not have to be restricted to the campus. The concept of managed learning would demand a separate program for each student, taking into account the objectives of the student and the knowledge and skills already possessed by the student. While a number of problems are readily apparent with this proposal, it is believed that the details could be successfully worked out by ingenious and dedicated college personnel. Failing that, this model might be appropriate for use in the area of electives. (JDS)
