The document discusses linear programmed learning, its historical development, principles, advantages, and limitations. It highlights B.F. Skinner as the pioneer behind this method, which is characterized by a sequential learning process with individual pacing and built-in evaluations. While it offers benefits like structured learning and self-paced mastery, it also faces challenges such as student motivation issues and a lack of interactive learning.

Historiography of LinearProgramming
1. This programming was founded by Dr. B.F.Skinner.
2. B.F.Skinner known as the father of as well as pioneer of this
programming.
3. It is based on experiment of skinner which is known as operant
conditioning.

Definition and Processof Liner Programmin
g
ā¢The linear programming known as extrinsic programming.
ā¢This is theoretical based learning programmed which directly linked with skinnerās operant conditioning.
ā In this type of programming every learner starts from the initial frame and ends with terminal frame, with chrono
logical or sequential order each and every student must go through each and every frame in straight line fashion. T
hatās why it is called as linear programming learning. ā
It means if we brake the word linear we can get the word āLINEā; which means straight and sequential order. When
we draw line it goes straight there is no any barriers or obstacles or bumps in line.
Each and every student / learner have his or her liberty to complete the programme at their own pace, time & speed.
Evaluation is there in each frame. There is sign / symbol or clue to give answer easier.
The programmed is based on mentality and individuality of learners.
Principle of LinearProgramming
1. Principle of small steps
2. Principle of immediate confirmation
3. Principle of self pacing
4. Principle of student testing
5. Principle of individualizing
6. Principle of evaluations
8.
Advantages of LinearProgramming
Following are the advantages of Linear Programming ā¦.
1. It is based on experiment of operant conditioning
2. The whole programmed prepared through the small steps which are called as frames.
3. Each steps decided by the programmer
4. Well sequential
5. The whole topic is divided into frames
6. Each frames contains at least one subject matter
7. Immediate feedback is the key factor
8. There is sign / clue / symbol available
9. It is self learning treatment or therapy
10. It is individualized programmed
11. It is student centered programmed
12. It is based on behavior of student.
13. It is based on students pace / time and speed
9.
Advantages of LinearProgramming
14. Students are actively participated.
15. Students gain their confidence.
16. On one can change anything in programming structure.
10.
Limitation of LinearProgrammin
g 1. Lack of motivation.
2. Time consuming.
3. Freedom of student gone
4. The large number of frame make student confuse
5. Lots of paperwork
6. It is costly
7. Lack of experts
8. One way instruction
9. No interaction between teacher and student
10. Linear programming is monotonous
11. Fixed style pattern
12. Rigid pattern
13. It is artificial rather than natural
14. Students have to stick with rigid formation and plan
15. There is scope of flexibility and compromise.
