A PROGRAMED ALGEBRA I COURSE WAS OFFERED FOR THE THIRD YEAR TO STUDENTS OF THE CLOUDCROFT, NEW MEXICO, HIGH SCHOOL. ALL FRESHMEN (15), 4 SOPHOMORES, 1 JUNIOR, AND 2 SENIORS WERE ENROLLED. A SCHEDULE WAS DEVELOPED WHEREBY EACH STUDENT COULD COMPLETE THE ENTIRE 73-CHAPTER COURSE IN A SCHOOL YEAR. TEACHER-MADE TESTS WERE GIVEN AT THE END OF EACH CHAPTER AND WEEKLY GRADES WERE BASED ON THESE TESTS AND ON STUDENT PACING. AT THE END OF THE YEAR, 2 STUDENTS HAD COMPLETED THE ENTIRE PROGRAM AND ALL STUDENTS HAD COMPLETED AT LEAST 35 CHAPTERS. THE BIGGEST ADVANTAGE OF PROGRAMED INSTRUCTION WAS SEEN AS THE INDIVIDUALIZATION OF INSTRUCTION. (SF)
