DEVELOPMENT OF NON-MACHINE PROGRAMED INSTRUCTION ACCORDING TO STATE-SPECIFIED EDUCATIONAL GOALS AND TRADITIONAL PSYCHOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES WILL ALLOW EFFICIENT, INDEPENDENT, CONTROLLED LEARNING, BUT MUST BE USED IN COMBINATION WITH CONVENTIONAL INSTRUCTION TO FORTIFY IN PUPILS THE FEELING OF COLLECTIVISM. EXPERIMENTAL WORK WITH SEVENTH GRADE SHOWS THAT THE DISTINGUISHING FEATURES OF PROGRAMED INSTRUCTION ARE LOGICAL SEQUENCING OF THE SUBJECT MATTER, USE OF ALGORITHMS, IMMEDIATE ACHIEVEMENT TESTING, AND CONTINUOUS FEEDBACK, THUS ORGANIZING THE PUPIL'S INDEPENDENT COGNITIVE ACTIVITY THROUGH CYBERNETICS AND GIVING IT A DEFINITE SCIENTIFIC CONTENT.
