Teaching Machines

Many of us are using the World Wide Web in ways that are similar to the teaching machines and automatic tutoring devices of the 1950-1960s, yet we are moving ahead without building upon a base of knowledge that already exists from that era. This chapter reviews the basic ideas of the original automatic teaching and tutoring machines of those two decades — a linear programmed learning model and a programmed branching model — and compares these to hypermedia methods that are now enabled via web technology. Some classic ideas in assessing the cognitive and affective learning outcomes of teaching — somewhat analogous to usability issues of utility and likability — are reviewed. Greater emphasis on considering the educational outcomes is advocated when we use new online teaching technologies in programmed instruction.

Wrong Sort

The widespread concern with the teaching of mathematics is coupled, as perhaps such concern is bound to be, with criticisms of present practices from numerous points of view. It is variously held that the wrong mathematics is being taught in the wrong way by the wrong teachers to classes of the wrong sort. Proposals for altering this state of affairs are as diverse as the criticisms. Among those who would radically change the traditional patterns of mathematics teaching are the advocates of some form of programmed learning.

Teaching Machines

The “programmed learning” movement traces its ancestry to Sydney L. Pressey, who in 1926 observed that his multiple-choice testing machine also performed a teaching function. The current movement was launched by B. F. Skinner and associates, who in the 1950's devised teaching machines inspired by experiments on animals.
