Abstract: This article focuses on programmed instruction. Few educators are unaware of the basic principles of programmed instruction. Virtually every professional convention has had sessions devoted to the topic. Most professional publications have included articles describing programmed instruction; increasing attention is being given to the reports of research using programmed instruction. Most major publishing companies have marketed programmed textbooks, and major corporations have made substantial, long range investments in the development of programmed materials and devices. Programmed instruction has been accepted by educators far more rapidly than any other innovation in history. The most disturbing evidence on the use of programmed instruction concerns student reaction to the technique. The early reports of overwhelmingly enthusiastic reactions to programmed instruction have been contradicted by increasing numbers of neutral and negative reactions. Reports of "dull," "boring," "repetitious," and "uninteresting" have come to be expected.
