Thesis (Ed.D.)--Harvard University, 1997.

This thesis, "The History Surrounding the Use of Skinnerian Teaching Machines and Programmed Instruction (1960-1970)," describes and examines the Skinnerian approach to programmed instruction. Moreover, three questions are addressed: (1) What were the major factors that gave impetus to the experimentation with Skinner's teaching machines and programmed instruction in education from 1960 to 1970? (2) How were teaching machines and programmed instruction implemented in U.S. universities, secondary, and primary schools during 1960 to 1970? and (3) What role did Skinner play in promoting teaching machines and programmed instruction in U.S. schools?

520 $a This thesis, "The History Surrounding the Use of Skinnerian Teaching Machines and Programmed Instruction (1960-1970)," describes and examines the Skinnerian approach to programmed instruction. Moreover, three questions are addressed: (1) What were the major factors that gave impetus to the experimentation with Skinner's teaching machines and programmed instruction in education from 1960 to 1970? (2) How were teaching machines and programmed instruction implemented in U.S. universities, secondary, and primary schools during 1960 to 1970? and (3) What role did Skinner play in promoting teaching machines and programmed instruction in U.S. schools?
520 $a This investigation makes clear that teaching machines and programmed instruction did not enter the educational arena by chance. There were two major factors that paved the way for their introduction into American classrooms. First, there was a need for new teaching methodologies. Society as a whole had become dissatisfied with progressive education. The critics of education were ready and willing to explore new avenues for teaching this country's youth. Second, the launching of Sputnik fostered the use of teaching machines and programmed instruction. To the critics of education, Sputnik was the clarion that trumpeted this country's failure to remain supreme in the areas of science and technology. As a result, many people expressed an interest in the new technology.
520 $a In addition, this investigation serves as the first comprehensive study of how these instructional mediums were employed in American schools during 1960 to 1970. The research reveals that teaching machines and programmed instruction were used experimentally in universities, secondary, and elementary schools, and that the use of programmed instruction was not any more or less successful in getting students to learn than the conventional teaching methods of the 1960s. Furthermore, this study examines Skinner's role in the promotion of teaching machines and programmed instruction. It appears that Skinner did not take an active role in gaining support from educators for his teaching machines.
520 $a Moreover, three reports describing Presidents' Eisenhower and Kennedy's Science Advisory Committees' interest in the use of behavioral science in education are discussed. These reports are new sources of information and do not appear in the existing literature surrounding the history of American pedagogy.
