Description
All of us are aware that revolutionary processes are at work in education and training. For the first time in modern history the traditional methods of classroom teaching and instruction are being profoundly challenged. This challenge emanates primarily from the work of experimental psychologists and learning theorists, from computer technology and electronic data processing, and from the creation of automated instructional hardware and software.
During the 1950's the initial union of these technologies began to produce experimental and first generation models of auto-instructional devices ~ indeed, modest by today's standards, but nevertheless sufficient to indicate the trend of the future.
Over the past few years the electronics, publishing, and office machine industries have seriously entered the automated and programmed educational products arena. The impact of the new educational technology is now influencing the entire spectrum of instructional methodology.1,2 Traditional methods are being called to account and must justify their perpetuation by objective measures of efficiency and cost effectiveness, or give way to instructional methods which do.
