sidered.

PUSH BUTTON LEARNING?
Tennessee Uses Class Reaction Meter
By FREDDI LOEWENBERG
The push button has invaded
the field of learning.
An electronic device which en-
ables the student to register an
immediate protest if he fails to
grasp what his professor is saying
is now being used experimentally
at the University of Tennessee.
Called the "student reaction
meter," the push button aid to
learning consists of buttons on
each student's desk attached to a
meter facing the lecturer.
When a button is pushed, it sets
the meter needle quivering.
* * *
THE METER can be calibrated
according to the number of stu-
dents in the class and registers the
number who aren't understanding
the problem.
If the number is large, the
professor can repeat and thus
clarify his material.
Termed simple and practical for
almost any classroom, the meter is
being used in elementary engineer-
ing courses.
* * *
REACTION TO- the meter here
was almost evenly divided between
those who feel it is what the lec-
ture system needssand those who
think it would be confusing and
impractical for classroom use.
Prof. George Peek of the po-
litical science department term-
ed it necessary because, "pro-
fessors are fairly sensitive and
can usually judge whether their
point is getting across." How-
ever, he added that it might
work in a small group.
One of those who thought the
idea good, Prof. Wilbert Mc-
Keachie of the psychology depart-'
ment pointed out that it might
help students to learn more rapid-
ly.
Some professors, he explained,
need to have the aid of some sort
of "shocking" apparatus to rea-
lize that their students aren't
getting the point of the lecture.
Prof. Preston Slosson, of the his-
tory department, while thinking
the gadget a ,good idea, had an-
other suggestion.
He recommended a ticker tape
be attached to the meter so that
the student could ask particular
questions on the lecture instead of
just registering his lack of under-
standing.
