Programmed+Learning


 * Programmed Learning**

Programmed learning is a structured and individualized strategy where students are presented with predetermined assignments that are completed independently of other materials or programs. Students work with the instructional material by themselves, at their own level and pace. The information is broken down into small units through which students work and respond. Students are given immediate feedback as to whether their answers are correct and are then encouraged to go on to the next step. Programmed learning often takes the form of computer-assisted instruction.
 * Description**

The teacher: • monitors to ensure that students are motivated to progress through the sets; • selects appropriate modules of programmed learning for the specific topics and developmental level of the student.
 * Method**

Programmed learning: • may be most effective if the self-instructional material covers familiar content; • may be seen as a monotonous activity for some students; • may present a challenge in finding appropriate programmed learning materials to support the achievement of curriculum expectations.

 * Illustrations From The Mathematics Classroom**

Students use a math skill-building program (commercially available, computer-based, or teacher-created task cards) to develop multiplication and division facts to 81.
