“…Problems concerning PI supersede specifics and involve generalities. Factors such as cultural background, educational level, and social needs seem to affect the results obtained when using PI (e.g., Doty & Doty, 1964;Fiks, 1964;Komorski, Green, & Schramm, 1964). Applications of PI have produced as many, if not more, questions than answers.…”

One of the principal enterprises of publishers and equipment producers is the manufacture and sale of programs and teaching machines. Applications of these educational and training techniques are prevalent in education, special education, industry, and the military. Conflicting results have been obtained both within and among these areas. It is concluded that this lack of concordance is due both to the situation in which the technique is used and various programming technicalities. More control in future research concerning criterion tests, structuring of this situation, control groups, specification of objectives, motivational factors, and theoretical variables is recommended.

“…Individual-difference phenomena in programmed learning have previously been investigated (e. g., Roe et al, I960;Shay, 196l;Silberman et aL, 1961;Carroll, 1963a;Fiks, 1964). The analyses below are a further effort in this direction.…”

La technique de Tcnseignement programme et la pedagogie des langues etrangercs sont en rapport etroit. Ce fait peut profiter et a l'enseignement et ä la recher ehe.Le projet decrit dans ce memoire ddmontre la possibilite d'enseigner les rudiments du vietnamien a l'aide d'un programme autodidacte. Le cours etait evalue sur 19 sujets, Parmi les 19, 16 ont pu terminer l'etude du programme dans le temps global imparti. On peut juger satisfaisants les resultats qu'üs ont obtenus aux tests de comprehension auditive et de production orale (90 et 73% respectivement); en outre, leur attitude envers le cours etait en general favorable.On a constate que l'aptitude des langues etrangeres etait inversoment proportioneile au temps necessaire pour terminer le programme et directement proportioneile aux resultats du test de comprehension auditive. Une analyse de correlations partielles montre que l'aptitude des langues se confond avec Tage de l'eleve et ne peut pas etre suffisamment bien definie d'apres le seul rhythme d'apprentissage.Une comparaison experimentale entre des exercices prolonges de comprehension auditive anterieurs a des exercices de production, d'une part, et des exercices de comprehension et de production en alternance, de l'autre, n'a donne aucun resultat global net en ce qui concerne performance ou attitude, mais on a observe quelques petites differences "dans le temps necessaire pour finir les lecons du Programme, en faveur des exercices en alternance.Die Technik des programmierten Unterrichts und die Fremdsprachenpädagogik stehen miteinander in enger Beziehung. Diese Tatsache ist dem Unterricht und der Forschung von Nutzen.Das hier beschriebene Projekt zeigt die Möglichkeit, die Grundbegriffe des Vietnamesischen mit Hilfe eines autodidaktischen Programms zu lehren. Der Kurs war für 19 Vp. Von diesen 19 haben 16 das Studium des Programms in der dafür festgesetzten Zeit abschließen können. Die Resultate, die bei den Hör-Verstehensund Sprechtests erzielt wurden, sind zufriedenstellend (90 bzw. 73%). Die Haltung der Studenten gegenüber dem Kurs war im allgemeinen positiv.

“…Wilson (1966) concluded tJiat programmed instruction had been used extensively in the Air Force and would continue to be used. Fiks (1964) studied the attitudes of the population toward programmed instruction at the Indiana State Fair. Variables considered included age, sex, education and occupation, residence and income.…”
