A device called a “teachin
market and. according to Johr
in the Division of Academic Re-
M'.uch and Services, “it is almost
inevitable that the concept will
he accepted in the future."
A teaching machine is essen
tially a self-testing device, he
explained, something like cover
ing up the answers in a book
and then looking to see if you
got them right.
"Machine enthusiasts” view
them as mechanical tutors which
lead a person by the hand through
a series of simple questions until
he is able to handle more complex
concepts easily.
All of the devices that have
been called “teaching machines"
use what can be called the "Soc
ratic" method of teaching They
present the student with questions
and answers, problems to be
solved or exercises to be done,
Bui, unlike a book of prac
fice problems, they provide
some type of aulomalic feed
back so the student is always
aware of his errors and prog
ress, Hundleby said.
"This looks like the major ad
vance in educational psychology
in a long time,” Hundleby said.
At present n few machines are
in use at Harvard, where B F.
Skinner started experimenting
with them.
The teaching machines ditfer
from television teaching in three
—ways. First, continuous active re
sponse is icquired from the stu
dent so that he constantly applies
each new step. Second, the stu
dent is informed immediately
whether or not his answer is cor
rect
Third, the student proceeds
at his own rale, repealing les
sons as often as necessary. Ac
cording to Hundleby, this has
a definite advantage over class
room instruction where the
teacher cannot lake the time to
keep explaining a point to a
slower student, while holding
