The University's Center for Re-
search in Learning and Teaching
(CRLT) this fall is launching a
program in which various college
faculties will design "self-instruc-
tion training materials" f o r
teachers evaluating methods of
instruction.
With a $59,000 grant from the
Esso Education Foundation, the
project is an extension of CRLT's
instruction workshops on educa-
tional materials.
George L. Geis, a research asso-
ciate with CRLT and director of
the workshops, said, "Our decision
to expand the training sequence in
programmed instruction is one re-
sponse to the need we see for
broadening the definition of
teaching' to include the develop-
ment and management of instruc-
tional materials."
Geis claimed what he called
"programmed units" would allow
more individualized response from
students of varying abilities and
educational backgrounds. "This
would encourage them to progress
at rates consistent with their in-
terests and capabilities," Geis
added.
CRLT plans to include "mate-
rials to guide the instructor in
developing instructional units for
his own courses" in a package with
a "self-instructional nature."
Included in the package -will be
guidelines for developing tests of
students' achievement in various
fields. It will also include sugges-
tions for group activities, reading
assignments, discussions, a n d
topics.
The University is collaborating
on this project with Lake Mich-
igan College, a community college
in Benton Harbor.

School Building. The Federal gov-

being used for the construction
project.
