Abstract | A program based on the personalized system of instruction (PSI) was written and used in a developmental reading-study skills course for college freshmen. The following principles characterize the PSI: emphasis on the use of written materials--textbook references, questions, and teacher-developed worksheets; the required passing of a mastery test before proceeding to the next module; self pacing for each student; lectures and class activities that are sources of motivation and of critical information; and the use of paraprofessionals, students, or peers in the class as proctors in correcting mastery tests and related materials. Student response to the course was positive and prompted a refining of the program. (MAI) |
