Editorial observation on shifting emphasis within the Title VII grant portfolio, toward "self-instructional approaches to learning" and the production variables behind such tools. No figures are printed for this trend.

"At the same time, an increase in the study of self-instructional approaches to learning and the production variables that lead to the design of these tools are a promising recent trend."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• The possibilities of the electronic computer as an instructional tool had been almost completely ignored in Title VII research. — related
• Almost half of the approved Title VII grants compare the instructional effectiveness of various media with conventional approaches to instruction. — related
• Title VII stimulated researchers to concentrate on relationships of educational media to instruction, broadening the Ford Foundation's earlier focus on educational television to a wider array of media applications. — a broader claim this one bears on
• About one-third of Title VII grants have been made for the study of televised teaching.
• Two gaps remain in Title VII research coverage: multi-media total learning systems, and the administration and organization of education systems for optimum use of instructional media.
