THE WORTH OF INDIVIDUALIZING INSTRUCTION

Abstract

In the worth of individualizing instruction, equations are developed for expressing the cost and gain for applying an instructional sequence. The expected return from assigning instruction on the basis of (1) admissible probability measurement, (2) admissible choice testing, (3) conventional choice testing, (4) prior information only, and (5) matching the average student is computed for each of seven distributions of state of knowledge.
