Hypermedia and Discovery-Based Learning: A Historical Perspective.

Jacobs, Gabriel

British Journal of Educational Technology, v23 n2 p113-21 May 1992

Reviews the history of discovery-based learning, including theories of programed learning, the work of B. F. Skinner, and the impact of information technology. Rejection of discovery learning is identified, and the likelihood in the near future of a revolution in education brought about by hypermedia technology is rejected. (47 references) (MES)
