This film series explores various methods teachers use to integrate programmed instruction into their curriculum, emphasizing comparison of approaches rather than prescribing a single method. It showcases three different teachers: Mrs. Kaplan, who uses programmed vocabulary instruction with gifted fourth graders and supplements it with creative activities and individual counseling; Miss Langden, who employs programmed science lessons with third graders, using small heterogeneous groups for experiments and collaborative learning; and Miss Shed, who implements an independent reading program for kindergarteners with behavioral challenges, fostering self-reliance and self-evaluation.
