Programmed Instruction 1954‐1974 A Review

Pages 278-291 | Published online: 09 Jul 2006
 

Abstract

This article examines the research on programmed instruction in the light of B. F. Skinner's 1954 clarion call to educationalists. In doing this the widening scope of programmed instruction is revealed, and the article concludes by indicating some of the areas of controversy in programmed instruction today.

“ There is a simple job to be done. The task can be stated in concrete terms. The necessary techniques are known. Nothing stands in the way but cultural inertia.”

B. F. Skinner (1954).
