B.F. Skinner And Programmed Instruction
[ send me this essay ]
An 18 page paper. B.F. Skinner has often been called the most influential behaviorist in history and definitely the most influential in the field of learning theory. His operant behaviorism laid the foundation for learning theories that have been used in our classrooms for the last forty years both in terms of managing classrooms and in terms of instructional strategies. One of the offshoots of his work was programmed instruction, also called programmed learning. This paper explains Skinner's theories and provides a history of programmed instruction. It then discusses the integration of the two. The writer also makes a point to discuss the fact that Skinner's theories are theories and not processes. Examples are included. Bibliography lists 12 sources.
