Description¶

The report presents, in Figure III, a systems flow chart of task procedures for developing individualized instructional materials, drawn from Walter H. Ehlers' work on computer-assisted instruction in social work education (Educational Technology, Vol. 18, No. 9, Sept 1969). The chart runs from instructional problem identification through behavioral objectives, entry behaviors, learning materials preparation, field implementation, formative and summative evaluation, and performance assessments. The report suggests "A systems approach to the development of this material is suggested by Ehlers in Figure III."
