The application of psychology and technology are used in the learning process while we use programmed learning modules. In programmed learning we use the small steps of learning resulting in mastery. The modules helps to respond the learners activity and to give immediate feedback. The learners will get their own timing to go through the lessons…

Elementary school teachers' perceptions of the Technology for Children Program (T4C) were the subject of this dissertation. The T4C program involved a learn-by-doing approach to language arts, science, mathematics and social studies instruction in elementary schools. The program involved the development of "Episodes" or "Unit…

The study investigated the effectiveness of a flexible modular system for teaching composition. It was hypothesized that measures of compositional ability would significantly favor students in the experimental course, and students in the experimental course would register significantly higher in affective measures of interest and involvement. The…

This paper describes a 2-week curriculum designed to give graduate level physicians an understanding of the pathophysiology of shock and to enable them to diagnose and manage deranged oxygen metabolism in critically ill patients. The curriculum is predicated on an extensive needs assessment and addresses the unique characteristics and learning…

Topics selected for the development in the modules were validated by master teachers, module development procedures were outlined, field test purposes and samples were described, field testing was performed, and results of objectives and subjective evaluations of the field testing were presented. The six modules developed specific teacher…

The purpose of this study to develop minicourses in educational media for presentation to inservice teachers through the "week-end college" system at Trenton State College. The minicourses were developed primarily through consultation with experts in the field of educational media and administrators at Trenton State College. In addition to the…

This field study was conducted to develop a performance-based course, including goal statements, performance objectives, and learning activities, for a light commercial building drafting course. The procedures used during the study were based on the 1975 Michigan Department of Education project for the development of competency-based teacher…

The relationship between achievement and method of individualized instruction and testing was investigated using a class of 32 community college students. Construction of the mastery tests was described. For the class as a whole, students in a mastery-by-module group had slightly, but not significantly, higher scores than students in a…
