Definitions
 It is a Systematic Step By Step Self Instructional
Programmes.
 It is a device which presents an exercise or a problem
to a student , inducing him to respond , and revealing
to him whether or not his response is correct.
 It is a method of designing a reproducible sequence
of instructional events to produce a measurable and
consistent effect on the behaviour of each and every
acceptable student.
 Educational programming is the scheduling and
control of student behaviour in the learning process.
 It is a planned sequence of experiences, leading to
proficiency in terms of stimulus response relationship.

Characteristics
 Individualized instruction
 Logically sequenced ,small steps called
‘frames’.
 Pay due consideration to the initial or entering
behaviour of the learner.
 Provision for feed –back.
 Interaction between the learner and the
learning material is important.
 Self –pacing to the learner .
 Continuous evaluation.
October 20, 2008 6
principles
 Small steps.
 Active participation and responding
 Reinforcement
 Self –pacing
 Self evaluation
 Immediate feed –back

Types of programming
 Linear or extrinsic
 Branching or intrinsic
October 20, 2008 9
LINEAR
 B.F Skinner
 Straight line-single track
 Every learner follow the same path

Remedial frame
a) Repeating the student response
b) Negative confirmation
c) Reason as to why he is wrong
d) Further explanations

Primes & Prompts
 For helping the learner make the
correct response and eliminate error,
he is assisted in the form of primes
and prompts in the introductory
frame.
October 20, 2008 19
Priming is introduced in a frame
through a process of copying the
response given in the stimulus
 All elements are made up of small
particles of matter called atoms
 The smallest particle of copper is
called----(Example)
October 20, 2008 20
 Prompt is a hint or cue , is provided to
help the learner to choose the correct
response
 The prompt can be classified into
two categories
1) Formal (provides an indication of
form of response)
2) Thematic (depends on the general
properties of the prompting
stimulus).
