PROGRAMMED INSTRUCTION

Is an instruction in which the self-pacing method has a rightful place

It is a system of teaching and learning within which the subject matter is broken down into small, discrete steps and carefully organized into a logical sequence in which it can be learned readily by the students (MORRIS BIGGE, 1982)

It is an auto-instructional approach to teaching which is changing the role of the classroom teacher (BARRY HARLEY, 1973).

HARLEY’SMETHOD ARE DESCRIBED AS FOLLOWS:

PROGRAMMING ITSELF IS THE WRITING OF SEQUESTIAL STEPS STRUCTURED SO AS TO BRING ABOUT A LEARNING EXPERIENCE.

FORMS OF RESPONSES:

PROGRAMMED MATERIALS ARE SELF- INSTRUCTIONAL

IT IS HIGHLY INDIVIDUALIZED

IT REQUIRES THE SO-CALLED CRITERION-REFERENCED TYPE OF EVALUATION AND NOT THE NORM-REFERENCED TYPE.

IT REQUIRES THE TEACHER TO PLAY THREE DISTINCT RULES IN TODAY’S SCHOOLDIRECTOR, ANALYST, AND TUTOR.

IT IS NOT A COMPLETE INSTRUCTION BY ITSELF

PROGRAMMED INSTRUCTION REQUIRES A LOT OF MATERIALS.
