- Summary:
-
The development of a psychology of instruction calls for qualitative, as well as quantitative, information about curriculum components. An analysis of selected instructional sequences of the New Primary Grades Reading System, a reading acquisition curriculum for five and six year olds, was performed by applying appropriate category systems from several theoretical models. The purpose of the study was to examine the conditions of learning which had been built into the instructional sequences that present new content. The results demonstrate and make more explicit one designer's mode of introducing behavioral learning principles into sequences of a structured curriculum. The analysis makes evident four main principles of instruction: (1) making explicit use of knowledge about the capabilities of the learner for whom the materials have been designed; (2) structuring language units so that they can be readily grasped by the learner; (3) identifying a progression of effective sequence types; and (4) specifying the contingencies of reinforcement. Taken together, the strategies of instruction implicit in the design of the curriculum constitute a theory of instruction in reading acquisition. (Author/AA)
