THE EXTENT THAT AUTOINSTRUCTIONAL AIDS CAN BE APPLIED TO THE INSTRUCTIONAL SETTING TO (1) PROVIDE FOR DELIBERATE DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENTS' CREATIVE BEHAVIOR AND (2) ASSURE MASTERY OF SUBJECT MATTER AT THE SAME TIME WAS THE SUBJECT OF THIS STUDY. THE STUDY POPULATION CONSISTED OF HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS WHO INTENDED TO CONTINUE THEIR FORMAL EDUCATION AFTER GRADUATION. STUDENT GROUPS WERE MATCHED ON THE BASIS OF INTELLIGENCE. THE PATTERN OF RESULTS ON VARIOUS TESTS OF CREATIVE ABILITY SHOWED THAT INSTRUCTOR-TAUGHT PROGRAMED GROUPS WERE SUPERIOR TO THOSE WHO TOOK THE PROGRAM WITHOUT INSTRUCTORS AND TO THE CONTROL GROUPS WHO RECEIVED NO PROGRAMED INSTRUCTION.
