AUTOMATED LEARNING PROCESS (ALP)

Abstract

A plan for modeling a real college or school system on a digital computer is described. ALP implicitly represents a theory of learning. Automation of the learning process on a digital computer carries theoretic implications, and compels educators to consider the dynamics of education in terms of the basic, universal elements in learning and their interaction. The model allows the experimenter to treat any of these universal elements or variables as dependent or independent. It should yield new understanding of the learning process and predictive control. Should the model be deficient or inadequate, it would serve to generate novel approaches and hypotheses. (Author)
