In this final volume of a three-volume series on the construction of self-instructional systems, the focus is on various aspects of post-construction control and improvement. As the first step in this phase, the process of polishing the material by checking for readability, integration, retention, and motivation is described and some of the aids…

In this second volume of a three-volume series on the construction of self-instructional systems, the system synthesis phase is described and directions are given for the construction of a preliminary system version. In order to aid the program constructor in establishing the correct sequence of instruction, various models of programing are…

A three-volume series describes the construction of a self-instructional system as a work process with three main phases: system analysis, system synthesis, and system modification and evaluation. After an introductory discussion of some basic principles of instructional programing, this first volume focuses on the system analysis phase,…
