A translated Soviet document describes some theories of learning, and the practical problems of developing a teaching machine--as taught in an Industrial Electronics course (in the automation and telemechanics curriculum). The point is stressed that the growing number of students at institutions of higher learning in the Soviet Union, up forty percent from 1957 to 1963, has led to increased pressure on teaching personnel to rationalize the teaching process. After outlining the basic principles of the learning process, the authors describe the teaching program for the students of the industrial electronics course which served as the basis for the construction of the appropriate table model electronic teaching machine. The entire course was divided into eight sections each of which was further subdivided into three subsections or information units. The program as well as the design and operation of the teaching machine is given, including print-outs of electronic components. (BB)
