Education is exclus i vcly co ncerned wi. th behav ior

an d rnGasur ing tile behavior changes it produces. Cm~r~n tly,

such evaluat jon is performed almost total ly by psychometry

psyche-educational tests and rating scales. Despite its

undoubt:cd importance historically, psycho!r..ct·cy has nc~-, been

shown to have se:::ious shortcomin<Js of both i"in cm1pir ical

and othical1Bture . These defic its have been ex~uined in

rJroat detail by II0f.fmc1.n (1962, 1965, 1967). Hoffnian 1 s

docu.11ented discussions include statistical misuse in the

,,.:!evelopmcnt of tests, misuse of test results, fellilcics

in t.he use of pre-t:':!sts , as we ll as the corrupting i~f:.fcct s

of cu:i:ricul.::. and teaching methods on behavior . i-.·ith the

partial e:{.ception of achievement tests , psychometri c

procedures never directly me<1stu:e the behavior in que3t :i.cn .

Unfortunately, the trend in recent years would seern t o be

away from more simple and direct measures of behavior an d

toward procedures which rely highly on indirect Measurer::e nt

an d a complex chain of inferential statements mediated by

hypothetical constructs. The Illinois Test of Psychol i ng t1i st ic

Abilities is a n example of this trend .

The present dissertation seeks to utilize fre e

operant technology , in particu lar the di rect and contir,uou s

recording of pupil performance, to evaluate and ana lyze a

progra.1'1led instruction curr.·iculum mate:r.ial.. At the s~me tilr1c,

the records gathered can be used to fu~U1er understand fre e

The first of these is the checklist.. Al thou<Jh

Newman (1965) has recommended against the devclopr,1ent ar.d

., _,

use of checklists without first lwving conducted e:x:hausti vc

research on their reliability and validity , the checklist has

nevertheless become the most popular and convenient method

of evaluating programed instruction .

nefore 1963 , checklists were comnonly created by

individual researchers for their own purposes (Fry, 1963 ;

Hughes , 1962 ) • Most of these checkl i sts t·,erc quite

heterogeneous , and rested more on considered opinion and

theoretical orientation than on empirj_cal :.:eaearch .

In 1962 , The ,Joint Com.mi ttee for r.ri ter.ia for

Assessing Instructional Programs began publishing chccklistD

for use in ~valuating programed instruction . 'l'hef~C lists

were revised yearly by the committee , on the basis of

their dernonntratcd utility in ~le applied situation. The

absence of systematic research in ev~luating checklists

produced an instrument that was , at best , crude .

Other checklists were later developed (Jacobs, 4aier ,

and Stolurow , 1966) , but .i.n the final analysis , the Jcint

CoiTIP.li t tee ' s checklist b.as b(~comc the standa 1:d in the fie le. It

has been endorsed by both the Natjonal Society for the Study of

Education (NSSE) and the Division of Audio-visual instruction (DA.VI)

of the Nation<1.l Educational l\.ssociation , the two organization s

~ost concerned with quality standards in education .

Ironically enough , the chief rival of the ,Joint

C> r.i.mi ttee • s d1ecklist is another \·:ell-:s:c.:sp.~ct ed cduc.::.tior:u.l

standard. that wa=.; not developed .specific,'.\lly for eva J.uat ing

Page 14: A free operant analysis of programed insturction ...binde1.verio.com/wb_fluency.org/Unpublished/Edinger1969.pdf · Assessing Instructional Programs began publishing chccklistD for

instruction. Bloom• s Taxonomy of F.dnca tionctl Ohjccti ves - - .. ------· . ----(1956) has been repeatedly invoked as the evaluative

/ standard form a "cognitivcn point of view. 'l'he chief

spokesman for this type of evaluation i.s Louise Tyler

(1966). Not satisfied with theory only, she has reported

some data on its use by teachers already frn1iliar with the

taxonomy. Newman (1965) has u::;ed it to evaluate programed

instruction in the Social Studies.

The second method of evaluation that can be

distinguished might more properly be called the comparison

procedure. It generally takes the fom of comparing

programed instruction with traditional teaching methods ,

or programed texts with standard texts.

Schramm (1964) indicates that much cf the

evaluative research done in progrruned instruction is of

4

this nature. An examination of Educational Abstract s

confirms this statement for the subsequent years. ·rhe

difficulty, however, is that comparison, as a researc h

method , reveals little or nothing about the pro9ramed

instructional material~.::!!:.• Nevertheless, the Joint

Commit tee recom!!l.ends comparison as a method for the external

validation of programed material , and it may be an acceptab.le

procedure for this task.

Another difficulty with comparison studies lies

in the nature of the research dcoign employe d. It is almost

irnpossible, ir:. this type of l·cscarch, to contro l for

individual differences in children and in teachers, an d

its even mor~ di ff icul t to control for. dif:f.et·enccs ln content .

Page 15: A free operant analysis of programed insturction ...binde1.verio.com/wb_fluency.org/Unpublished/Edinger1969.pdf · Assessing Instructional Programs began publishing chccklistD for

5

'l'he majority of research of the comparative typ~ , as Schramm

notes, is so poorly done that little faith can be placed

in the validity of the results . There arc fortunate exceptions ,

particularly with regard to exceptional child populations.

Blackman and Copobianco (1965 ) , for example , report on

the use of a specif ic programed material with retarded

children . Likewise , Rainey and Kelly {19G.l) report.

the use of a time-·telling program with educable retarda tcs ,

and Streng (1964 ) reports evaluating a program with deaf

opulations . This research is child-oriented and involves

the determination of the utility of a specific program for

developing a defined behavior in a given exceptional chil d

population . The utility of this type of research for the?

practici11g clussroom teacher should not be under-estimated.

Closely rel~ted to the programed instruction with

"other" comparison, is the programed instruction with

achievement test comparison. Normally , the test used is

one of the standard ~chievemcnt tests such as the Wide Range

Achievement 'l'est or the Metropolitan Achievement Test . In

this case , the research questions are directed to differenc e

scores on the specific test before and after the administration

of the programed instruction material . The discontinuous

(before and after ) nature of this procedure is a seriou s

shortcoming because it does not. allow ,'l point to poin t

analysis of the relationship between the program and the

child ' s behavior . This method, like the progrMicd instruction

with "other" comparison, is recorr ,mended by the Joint

Committee for the ex.tcrn~1l valldation of the material .

The careful reader of research is quick to not e

that the dependent variable in these studie.s is not prograr:1.ed

instruction performance, but achievement test performance .

Programed instruction pcrfor.mance is then inferred f r om

the test performanc e.

In his text on evaluating programed .instru c tio n

Jacobs , ct a l . , (1966 ) , mentions the Denver Stud y as the c lass ic

mode l for eval uation . This study , reported int~~ by Jacob s,

util i zed both the progr<:!med instruction with :'other" corn9ar.iso n

and the programed instruction with achievement test type s

of evaluation . The qucnt:i.ons asked in th i s s tt.::dy wer e :

1) Do ,::lasses taught by the prog't"am on ly, by a teacher only, and by a combinat ion of a teacher plus the progrrun differ in the outcomes of levels of achievemen t, attitudes toward pro<;ramed instruct ion and interest in Spanish ?

2 ) How are the input characteristics o f ini t i a l achievement, academic aptitude , and att i tud e towards Spanish related to the outcome s of achievement in interest in Spanish in . each instructional group ? For example , do the brighter classes learn more than t ha slower ones i n each group ?

3) Are teacher's att:li:udes towards Spanis h and various teaching methods relate d to the i nstructional methods used in the stad y?

A careful cx2mination of thc~se quest i ons re v ~a ls

that in no case is programed .instruction pE=!!'formance the

dependent variable. This study , the apparent c l ass ic in

the ewal ua tion of pro91.·an :ed instruction , is in fac t not

an evall!ation of the int".!rnt1l ;,1spccts of prog1. ·~.ms. Bec aus e

it is an ~valuat i on about programed inGtruct i on as it

relates to various dependent var:i..ables ~mch as ach i evemen t

Page 17: A free operant analysis of programed insturction ...binde1.verio.com/wb_fluency.org/Unpublished/Edinger1969.pdf · Assessing Instructional Programs began publishing chccklistD for

7

test and attitude scale scores, no direct statement may

be made regarding the behavior change on the program itself.

Also mentioned in the evaluation literature ,

but clearly not research , is a caution to the progra.i.l

user to check the credentials of the program author c.nd

the publisher. The Joint Committee advises all publishers

to include with each program sold, comple tc develop!<1<:.mtill

and utilization testing data. The advisement , in practice ,

is little heeded .

In summary, there arc four main methods of evaluating

prograned instruction material . These are :

1) the checklist ,

3) programed instruction with 11other 11 co.:nparison ,

4 ) programed instruction with achiG:,:0.:-i~cnt tes t e•,al ua tion .

J.t is cleur from this review- that prognm. ,~d

instruction performance is typically not the dependent

varic1hle in the evaluation of programed instruction

mater i;.i.ls .

experimental analysis of human behavior was presented . Sound

experimental data were not forthcoming until Lindsley's classic

study with chronic psychotics (1956 ). Ski11ncr {1958), reporting

on his research with programed instruction technology , an

extension of free operant techniques with animals , excited

much interest in the educational community. Bijou (1957, 1958)

developed observation techniques for young Ghildren patterned

closely after those used by Lindsley.

The marriage between the educator and free opera11t methods

wa~; not long in coming. Birnbrauer, Bijou, Wolf , and Kidder

(1965) demonstrated the application of free operant tcchnlque3

in a classroom s.i. tu.=ttion using pro~rramed instruction as a

cun:icular core. Zim.iuermr'in and Zimmerman ( 1962) also applied

free operant techniques in a classroom with much less structure

than Birnbrauer's classroom .

Ayllon <lnd Azrin {1964) demonstrated the functiona l

utility of token economies in shaping the behavior of patients in

a mental hospital. Girardeau and Spradlin (1964) used the

same type of token control with retardates at the Parsons

State Home and Training School .

At that time, however, there was no systematic or

standard method in human free oper2.nt research. Although a

precise language was available for the description of ani~a l

behavior (Ferster and Skinner, 1957), its application to the

human situation was confusing and left much to be desired.

Research reportH were prcs0nted in the literature with metho d

and discussion sections so radical ly non-standar<l that scientific

replication (Sid maa , 19 64) was ~,iri:ually impossible.

o. R. Lindsley (1964) put forth a numerical­

temporal descriptive language. Its purpose was to precisely

describe behavior and those events related to behavior,

either in munber or in time. This was fol lo-:·:ed by a

major strategy state~ent indicating that hehavior change

must be produced by teachern and parents in order to meet

the existent need (Lindsley, 1968). Lindsley (1966)

has coined the term precision teaching to describe the u~e

of free operant methods by teachers . The details of

precision teaching and the descriptive language are available

elsewhere (Kcenig, 1967; Cale.well, 1967; fraughton, 1967)

and will not be treated at length here.

Although rate was the at;cepted datum ur.it for

animal free operant research , researchers using human

subjects felt little obligation to follow suit. Instead,

many relied on the more standard educational datum units

of absolute number and percent. In a study of the

sensitivity of the various datum units to behavior change,

Holzschuh and Dobbs (1966) demonstrated that rate was

consistently mere sensitive than other units examine<l.

Subsequent research (Caldwell, 1966; Johnson, 1967b) has

suppcrted this finding.

Free operant techniques in general, and precision

teaching in particular, have found wide acceptance in special

education (Haring and Schiefelbusch, 1967). Operant techniques

have been used almost exclusively with single organisms.

Because specia! educators have long been tailoring curricular

programs for individual children, the techniques scerned

ideally suited for that area of education concerned primarily

with individual differences .

Koenig (1967} used precision teaching in a

cl;:i.ssroorn setting with emotionully disturbed children to

examine a wide ran~re of academic and disruptive behaviors .

Haughton (1966) demonstrated the functional utility of

direct and continuous recording of behavior compared with

an examination of achievement tests in predictin<J pupil

performance. ;Johnson (19G7c) demonstrated dramatically

that achievement tests and pupil pcrforr:1ancc on sim ilar

material generated different performance rates when bot h

pupil performance and achievement test performance were

directly recorded. Johnson (1967a) found that teacher­

planned rates {'~umber of problems assigned by th~ teacher

divided by the nmnber of minutes allotted by the teacher

for their solution} were , in par t, determiners of sub~equent

pupil performance rate .

Johnson (1969) is currently engaged in the use

of precision teaching to evaluate the Science Resear ch

Associates arithmetic series . This study , as yet unpublishe d,

In summary , free operant techniques originally

used e.;,:clus5.vely in the study of anima l behavior , have .• in

)~eccnt yeai:s,. seen wide application to human performance .

When used i~ classroom settings, the techniques may be

collectively raferred to as precision teaching (Lindsley,

1966). Although precision teaching has been upplied to

has it been used in the analysis of curricular material.

·rhe careful t e acher will want to know if, indeed ,

t he Pl ace ment Test scor e does approximate the level of

perfor manceof the bookl e t indicated. To investigate this

question , the Placement Test was r e ad.ministered on the

16

last <lay of the After Phase . If the Placem ent Test was

correctly indicating Programmed Reader performance level, the

final administration of the test should have indicated the

book in which the child was last performing .

Skinner points out ( 1954, 1958) that one of the

central goals of progr amed instruction is to maximize

correct responding and minimize incorrect re s pondin g.

This is aGcomplished by carefully constructing each programed

frame (antecedent event) in the program . The teacher uning

the §ullivan Rea<:}_i_ng Program naturally wishes to know whether

the Progr tunmed Reader does , in fact , differentiate correct

responding from incorr e ct responding .

To ex amine this question , correct clnd in.correct

response rates on the Programmed Reader in the Before

Phase were analyzed. If the Progr ammed Read e r differentiated

correct from incorrect responses , then a difference shoul d

exist between the two response rates .

'J.'h~ most recent li torat.tu:e in programed instructio n

(NSSE, 1967) concerning the development of programs suggest s

"in-progru.m 11 checks with frames similar to t hose in the

regular program , but without the co.rrcci: solutions available .

Programmed Reading (1964 ), i s no t to be graded , but instead

to be used as a guide to check on the quality of the students '

work .

The co.reful teacher wil l want to know if perforr.1ance

on the Diagnostic Test is equivalent to performance on the

Prog:canuned Reader before she alters her supporting cttrriculu.'il

on the basis of this quality chec k.

To evaluate this problem , correct and incorrect

performance rates , on both the Diagnostic Test and the

ProgrammP.d Reader , collected in tiw De fore Phase were

analyzed . If the Diagnostic Test and the Progran~~ed Reader

are equiva l ent , there should be no difference between the

per forri\er ,ce rates on the two progr.am o.

The teacher who has taught with the Pro(:Jrammcd

Readers for a period of time is able to assess the perfornwncc

of her students . By examining each child ' s rate correct

and rate incorrect as plotted on his six .. cycle semi-log graph

and recorded on his data sheets {Appendix D), she can

decide on the best tactic to ~aximize his performance

accura cy. That i s , the teacher can plan how to increase

the diffArence between correct response rate and incorrect

responi::;e rate . One of the most common t<J.ctics to this en d

i s the arrangement , the p~encntation orwithdrawal, of a

subsequent event: followi:r. .g ecJch res!.)<):1se or series of

responses m2-dc in the curricular. materiu. l. This arrangement

can be r1a(~e H:L th Uie intent of c1cc.,-:leratin.9 correct response

rate by presenting the subsequent event; or decelerating

incor.:.-ect response rate by withdrawing the sub!Jequont event,

or. both .

The te acher who makes such c:m ar r ang ement for e a ch

child will want to kno w precisely what eff e ct it has on

the child's behavior. In addition, she will want to know

what effect the arrange ment procedure, itself, has on the

performance of her cla s s as a whole.

To investigat e this problem, the data gathered

in the Defore Phase, where no experimental conditions were

in effect, and in the During Phase, where arrangements

were in effect, were co mpared. If the subsequlrnt event

arranged to follow the Progr ammed Reader correct and/or

incorrect response produced an effect on response rate,

this wouldl:::e seen as a difference between response rates

in the Before Phase and response rates in the During Phase.

The classroo m teacher is only too aware that often

pupils are not motivat e d to perform on test item~. It

might interest her to kn ow whether, on the Progranuned

Reader, a subsequent e ve nt presented to the child following

each er.roJ~les::; Dia gnos t ic Test will alter performanr;e rate

on the Diagnostic •rest. To investigate this problem,

correct and incorrect pe rfo:r.mance rates on the Diagnostic

Test in the Before r-!'lase ar.d in the During Phase were

analyzed. If the subs e quent event follm·dng each crrorless

Diagnostic Test produc e d nn effect on correct and/or

incorrect response rate, this would be seen as a difference

between response rates in the Before Phase and response

rates in the During Phas e.

The i nquisiti ve teacher, when shG p:i:'Bsents a

subsequent. event follo wing only the correct Programm.Gd

Page 29: A free operant analysis of programed insturction ...binde1.verio.com/wb_fluency.org/Unpublished/Edinger1969.pdf · Assessing Instructional Programs began publishing chccklistD for

Reader response will want to know whether the correct

response rate accelerates or not, and exactly what happens

to incorrect response rate in this condition. In order to

answer this question, incorrect response rates on the

Programmed Reader in the Before Phase and in the During

Phase were compared . If the subsequent event presente d

following the correct Programmed Reader response hac1 any

effect on incorrect Programmed Reader response rate, this

would he seen as a difference between incorr ect response

rates in the Before Phase and incorrect response rates in

the During Phase.

Similarly, the teacher will want to know what

the etfect on correct response rate is when she •,dthdraws

a subsequent evGnt follm·1ing the .incorrect Progranuned

Reader response. 'l'he same procedure was rcpea·;:ed for the

correct response rates in the Before Phase and in the

Durlng Phase for t!"lis comparison. If the subsequent

event withdrawn following an incorrt?ct Programmed Reader

response had any effect on correct Programmed Reade r

response :ca.te , this would be seen as a difference between

correct response rates in the Before Phase and correct

response rates in the During Phase.

Since the purpose of arranging a subsequent

event is to produce a lasting change in the magnitude of

19

the differeP-ce between correct and incorrect response rates

maintained by the natural consequences of auperior achievement,

the careful teacher will want to know pn'!cisely what the

effect of the removal of an accelerating or decelerating

CO!li:;cquence has on subsequent performance. 'fhe problem

was investigated by comparing correct and incorrect Programmed

Reader response rates in the During nnd After Phases . If

the removal of a consequating condition following Programmed

Reader perfo11nance produced a subsequent change in Programme d

Reader response rate, that change would be observed in a

difference between performance :::ate in the During Phase and

performance rate in the After Phase .

•r·he Difference Between Correct and Incorrect Program 1;1e<l Reader Performanc e Rates

In setting up guidelines for writing programs ,

Skinner (1954) pointed out that the well-constructed

program should maximize correct responding while permitting

a minimum number of error responsen . The question of this

difference was examined ln the Programmed Reader by treating

the correct and incorrect Programmed Reader responsa rates

collected in the Before Phase with the Lindquist Type I

Analysis of Variance (Lindquist, 1953 }. TABLE II indicates

that correct and incorrect response rates on the Programmed

Reader were well differentiated . TABLE III and FIGURE II

display the direction and m2.gnitude of this difference for

the entire population and for one typicul child, respecti V(~ly .

In the Progra mmed Reader booklets, a Diagnostic Te~t is

scheduled approximately each 50 fralt'.as.. The Diagnostic

Test is intended to be a quick check on the accu:cacy of

pupil performnnce. If l:his check is to be meaningful ,

the correct and incorrect Diagnostic Test performance rates

must be approximately equal to the correct and .incorrect

performance on the I'rogra.1mted Reader i tself .

difference did exist betwe~n per.f.ormance rates on the

Diagnostic Test and on the ProcJra rr.mcd Reader , with the latter

having the higher rates. In addition, differences were

observed between correct and incorrect rBsponsc rat~s

{a result consistant with 'l'J\BLE II ) and in performance

rates among class units.

A graphic display of the means in the interaction

terms revealed that : l ) the Bx C interact.ion could be

attributed to the differences observed between the mea n

incorrect response rate on the Diagnostic Test and the mean

incorrect response rn.te on the Prcgraimned Reader, and 2 )

the A x I3 inte:r.nction could be attributed to a rooling of

four distinct class units on correct response rates for

both the Diagnostic Test ancl Progranuned Reader .

The Effects of A-cranging c:1 Subsequent Event Pollowing ~E°~~le<i~RC:~. 9.It.~ onscs· - -- . ---

The precision teacher who wishes to change the

rate of correct and/or incorrect responding often achieves

this end by arranging a subsequent event (e.g. , penny ,

star, M&M, etc.) to follow the desired response . This

procedure of. presenting or withdrawing subsequent event s

may be used to either accelerate or decelerate the response

rate. The first possible procedure , presenting a subsequGnt

event following correct Programmed Reader responses , whi l e

ignoring incorrect Progranuned n.ead8r responses , was

m,:ar.lincd by treating the correct Programmed Reader response

rates collected in the Before an<l During Phases of the experiment

with the Wilcoxon Signed Rank 'l'cst (Wilcoxon and Hilcox , 1964 ).

The result, presented in TABLE V, suggests that a reliable

difference was present bctwe~n the performance rates in the

two phases. An examination of column 11d 11 shows that mont

of the response rates were accelerated in the During Phase.

It should be noted that the magnitude of each of the seven

accelerations was far greater than the magnitude of each

of the two decelerations. A graph of this acceleration is

presented in FIGURE III.

The second possible procedure, withdrawing a

subsequent event after incorrect P.~ogr:1:nmed Reader resp·onses,

i·1hile ignoring correct Progrrunme<l Reader responsen, was ~\lso

treated with the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. ThA result as

presented in TABLE VI, indicates a reli~bl~ <lif.ferencc

between the performance rates in the two phases. An

examination of column "d 11 shows that the response rates

here w~~re decelerated in the During Phase. Once again,

thG rn.:tgnitude of the changes was largest in the expected

direction of the change, decelcratic~ in this case. A

graph of this deceleration is presented in FIGURE IV .

The third possible procedure, the combination of

the first two arrangements , was also treated with the

Wilcoxon statistic. Tl\BLF.S VII and VI!I present the

results of the analyses. It should he noted the results of

this combination of arrangements arG strikingly similar to

each of the arrangements alone for their respective

responses . FIGURE V displays this sir.ml taneous acceleration

and deceleration .

It has just been demonstrat ed that the present a ti,:m

£tnd withdrawal of a subsequent event following Programmed

Reader performance reliably altered the ra'ce of that performance .

Nhat , then , is the effect of presenting a subsequent event

following each errorless Diagnostic Test? To answer this

question ,« Lindquist Type VI Analysis of Variance was

performed on all Diagnostic Test response ratGs, correct

anrl incorrect. The data were analyzed by phases, !3efore

Phase and During Phase; with a subordinate analysis by

class units .. It can be seen in TABLE IX that, although

the main effect for class units and the main effect for

correct and incorrect response ra~es were significant , the

Before and During Phase main effect was not sign :U:ic a nt.

This result is cle a rly evident in the lack of uniformity

in the direction and magnitude of changes presentGd in

During Phases . TAnLE XI shows that incorrect Programmed

Reader response rates were reli ab ly decelerated whnn an

arrangement was made to follow correct Programmed Reader

responses . Z'm examination of column 11d II reveals that in

only two cases was an acceleration observed , and these

cases r;howcd the least changes in magnitude. FIGURE VI

displays this deceleration as observed in one typical child ' s

performance .

TABLE VI demonstrated that withdra\·1al of a subs equent

event fo:lowing the incorrect Programi-ned Reader :::-e~ponsc

dec~lerated incorrect response rate. In th.a I: condition, tlh-")

correct Programmed Reader response was ignorad . To

investigate the effect of the pres ented subsequent evC!nt on

the previously ignored correct response rate, a t·Jilcoxon

Signed Rank Test was performed on the correct Programmed

Reader res!_:•o:nse riltes observed in the Before and During

Phases . TABLE XII shows that correct Programmed Reader

responses were not reliably affected by the withdrawal

of a subsequent event following the incorrect Progranuncd

Reader response . An examination of column "d O in TABLE XII

rev~als that, although the direction of changes was

predominately accelerating , the magnitude of change s

obs erve d in the four cases of deceleration was sufficiently ./

large to counteract the- directional predomenance of the

data a~d yi e ld a non-significant result .

The Effects of Terminating l\rranget:1ents on Subsequent Progra mni£:<l ifoader Perfo r mance

47

Normally it is no·::: practical to maintain a cl.:tssroom

under continual synthetic cofisequation . The ef.feccs of

presenting subsequent events following Programmed Reader

responses have been previously examined . What is the

effect of removing the arrangement entirely ?

In the first condition , where the subsequent event

was presented following the correct Progra!:lmed Reader response ,

the data collected in the During and After Phases were

treated with the I·7U.coxon Signed Rank Test. TABLE XIII

indicates that the already accelerating correct Prog-cam.':\ed

Reader r< sponse rates continu~d accelerating . An examination

of column "d 11 reveals that in no case was a deceleration

observed$ This effect is shown for a typical child in

FIGURE VII .

In the Recond condition, where the subsequent

event was withdrawn following the incorrect !?rogrammed

Reader response , the incorrect response rates for these

childr~n that were collected during the During and After

Phases were treated with the Wilcoxon statistic . No change

in incorrect response rate is observed in TA13LE XIV. An

examinat:ion of column °d" reveals no consistancy in

either the direction or magnitude of the changes . FIGURE

VIII demonstrates this ~aintencnce of response rate .

The third condition , where both of the above

arrangements were in effect , was also treated ,·rith by

applying Hilcoxon Signed Rank Test to the performanc~ rates

Chapter III

DISCUSSION

The issues with which this dissertation is

concerned m~y be pooled into three major areas :

1) the d<:?rnonstrated 1.1tili ty of free operant

techniques in the measurement and analysis

of programed curricular material

2) the effects of reinforcement on programed

instruction response rate

3) the concurrent nature of correct and incorrect

pJ:-ogramed instruction pm:-formance .

As was pointed out in the Review of nelated

n.esearch conc~rning the evaluation of progr~rned inst1·uction

?CrfcL-rnance, there is a remarkable lack of prccisicn and

sto.nd~rdizati0n in the .:.n<1.lysis anrl evaluation of. progra;11ed

instruction material. Indeed, in most cases, performance

on the p~ogramed material itself is rarely used as the

dependent vari ab}•.! in thG 1.·8por<:.ed studies.

Th~ important difference in using free operant

techniques in the analysis of programed instruction

perfo8nance is primarily in the use of direct, continuous

recording of all pupil performa:r.ce.

57

Markle ( 196 7) , f,tager (19 61) and Trow (19 63)

emphasize the importance of using measurable behavioral

objectives in the evaluation of any performance. In the

58

usual situation, however, the response required in the

curricular material and the response required in the evaluation

are not the sane response. It is obvious that the researcher

cannot evaluate directly one response by measuring another.

He must be able to record directly the responses being

observed if he is to make meaningful statements about those

responses. In th.is study, all responses in the ProgrlUmned

Reader and in the Diagnostic Test were continuously and

directly recorded. This recording procedure allows statements

to be made regarding the compatibility of those two portions

of the Sullivan RGarling Progrum. --- --The direct continuous recording also allows a

precise statement concerning the relationship between

correct and incorrect performance rates. ReHearch reports

(Holland, 1965) traditionally report only percent correct

and percent incorrect, forcing the two measures to be

complementary and pooling them over time. This results in

a tremendous loss of sensitivity to behavior change (Lindsley,

19 6 7; Hol zschilh and Dohhs , J. 966; Koenig, 1967) • 'l'he

ccntinuous, direct, daily per~ormance rates give both the

teacher and the student imrnediate knowledge of performance

in all phases of the programed instruction performance.

In this study, the direct con l:inuous recording

of progrumed instruction performance riltc demonstrated

that:

Page 69: A free operant analysis of programed insturction ...binde1.verio.com/wb_fluency.org/Unpublished/Edinger1969.pdf · Assessing Instructional Programs began publishing chccklistD for

1) performance rates on the Diagnostic Test

were reliably different from perfocnance

rates on the Programmed Reader

2) correct Program.~ed Reader response rates

were reliably different from incorrect

Program.11\ed Reader response rates .

59

In addition , a traditional pretest-posttes t

evaluation of the Placement Test indicated that Placement

Test performance was not a reliable index of where the

child performs in the Progrnmmed Reader .

The question of reinforcement in p r ogra.11\ed

t.heo:i.."etical point of view. Bypassing the theory , wi1ich is

not relevant for this dis cu Hdon , and examining the experimental

methodology found in relevant r,3ports in the literature ,

it becomes again apparent that only rarely is the dependent

variable in such studies pupil performance (Johnson , 1969 ) .

Generally , a criterion is administered, either one nadc

cspeciallyfor the purpose, or one of the standardized

tests ccmmercially available . In no cane did the writer

observe a direct continuous measure of pupil performance

rate in the within-subject design type of experiment . The

between-subject design further reduces the likelihood of

those reported studies finding change , should the£e be one,

thus increasing the probability of Beta error. ·rhe within­

subject design has no such sensitivity drawbacks . Studies

utilizing thew:ithin-subject: design with free operant recording

techniques have been able to show not only that n change

occurred with respect to some experimental variable (i.e.,

the presentation of a subsequent event followii~ a response) ,

but they were able to show the precise daily fluctuations

of response rate associated with the experimental conditions

in effect (Johnson, 1967a , 1967b; Koenig , 1967; Haughton ,

19 67) •

Using the above type of <le3ign, this study

observed :

1) the presentation of an experimen1~ll y

selected suhsequent event following the

correct Programmed Reader response al~ne

accelerated correct Programmed Reader

rGsponse rate

2) the withdrawal of a subsequent ~vent following

each incorrect Programmed Reader response

alpne decelerated incorrect Programr.1ed RGadcr

response rate

3) simultaneous presentation and withdrawa l

conditions both accelerated correct Prograramed

Re,Jder respon;;c rate and decelerated ine:orrect

Programmed Reader response rate

4) the presentation of a subsequent event following

the correct Programmed Reader response

decelc~rated incorrect Prograir.mP.d Reader

response rate

5) thG withdrawal of a subsequent. event following

Page 71: A free operant analysis of programed insturction ...binde1.verio.com/wb_fluency.org/Unpublished/Edinger1969.pdf · Assessing Instructional Programs began publishing chccklistD for

Gl

the incorrect Programraed Reader response

did not reliably affect correct Program.med

Reader response rate.

This study also examined the effect on subsequent

pupil performance of terminating the reinforcement condition.

The results are nost interesting :

1 ) the r.enoval of an acceleration consequence

foll.owing corre::=t ProgramM.ed R~ader responses

accelerated subsequent correct Programmed

Reader response rate

2 ) the removal of a deceleration consequence

following the incorrect Programmed Reade r

response did not reliably affect subsequent

incorrect Programmed Reader response rate .

This result is remarkably similar to an effec t

experimcntallyknown as "behavioral contrast 11 (Reynolds ,

1961) . There are , hm1Gvcr , cartct.in dissimilarities present .

In behavioral contrast , the effect is noted following the

acquisition of a discrimination . In the present situation ,

no experimental discrir:\ination was trained. However ,

response diffe.r.cnt.iation between correct and incorrect

Programmed Reader r~sponses was established. Whether , in

the present situation, this respons~ differentiation provides

the conditions for the nece3sary stimulus discrimination

to occur is not cJ.ear. Proper schedule inanirulations t o

replicate the phenomena within each subject were not

performed . It can only be noted that this is a behavioral­

contrast-like phenomena and deserves a th0rough syste~atic

investigation .

Page 72: A free operant analysis of programed insturction ...binde1.verio.com/wb_fluency.org/Unpublished/Edinger1969.pdf · Assessing Instructional Programs began publishing chccklistD for

62

Such an effect has been noted by other researchers .

Lindsley (1969), Koen~g (1969), and O'Brien, Azrin, and Henso n

(1969) report observing the acceleration. Lindsley calls the

phenomena ''after effect, n which, on the basis of present

experimental evidenc~ is proLably a more accurate descriptive

term than is ttbehavioral contrast . "

For the teacher , this moans that a subsequent

event may be arranged for use as a tool to investigate

a rate change , and need not necessarily be used to maintain

that change . In fact, it appears that any particular

arrang0ment raay serve to limit operant strengt.hening if

left in effect too long. More research wil l be needed to

determine the guidelines for terminating acceleratin g

arrangements at the optimal ti,tle for maximal maintt:mance

of the movement .

in progra.-n.ed ins t:ruction pe:t:formanco . Glaser { 1965 ) an d

Holland (1965) both provide ext8nded disucsGions on err or

responding and error ".rate , " in t~rms which are ac tua lly

not rates but absolute numbe.r-s or perconts . Narke l (19 67),

writing on the cmpir:i.cril aspects of program evaluat ion,

presents a similar analysis .

This study reports not only the effects o f

arr.angcd subsequent events for correct Pr.ogrammed Reade r

responses and for incorrect Programmed Hea.der response s,

but it reports the effects of an arranged subsequent event for

correct Progra..-umed Reader responses on incorrect Programmed

Reader response rate and the effects of an arranged subsequent

event for incorrect Programmed Reader responses on correct

Progrrunmed Reader response rate.

The changes observed indicate that correct

Prograrruned Reader responses and incorrect Programmed

Reader respons.3S function as concurrent operants (Catania,

1966). Ferster and Skinner (1957} define concurrent operants

as ''two or more responses, of different topography at least

with respect to locus, capable of being executed with

little mutual interference at the same time or in rapid

alternation, under the control of separate programming

devices.» Educationally, this means that correct and

incorrect responses are not complement~ry movements with

respect to their contingencies. This further means that

measures forcing complementarity (e.g., percent und

absolute number ) are not only insensitive to behavior

change, but inappropriate £or precise and accurate statements

concerning correct and incorrect responses.

·.rhe great majority of research available on the

natm::e of concurrent operants has been done \·Ii th non-human

vertebrates, chiefly the monkey , pigeor1, and rat. One

central experimental problem in studying the exact nature

of concurrent schedules of reinforcement. is the establishment

of the independence of the concurrent operants in question,

whGth~r they are com pa tiable or incomr.,~t tible. Procedures

Page 74: A free operant analysis of programed insturction ...binde1.verio.com/wb_fluency.org/Unpublished/Edinger1969.pdf · Assessing Instructional Programs began publishing chccklistD for

to insure thin independence arc introduced primarily to

avoid concurrent superstition effects (Catania , 1966,

64

Ferster and Skinner, 1957). Correct and incorrect concurrent

responses, even though they arc technically incompatable,

viz, they can't occur at the same place at the sar.1e ti~c,

are not independent, as shown by the data presented in

Tables XI and XII. Specifically, the conscquation of the

correct response results in a siMultaneous deceleration of

incorrect response rate , but the.deceleration of an incorrect

rcspo~se has no noticeable effect on correct response

rate.

This study employed daily plotting of correct and

incorrect response rates. This allowed only a coarse

grain analysis of the concurrent operants and therefore no

local interactions (variations in perfornance rate as a

function of switching from one response to the other)

could be observed. The only statement that can be made

concerning correct and incorrect responses in this study

is that they appear to be concurrent operants . Recordings

of individual responses will be necessary to uncover further

infor~ation conccr~i~g the exact behavior of the cperants

with respect to each other for various schedules of

reinforcement.

S t.r.'L1-1ARY

There are apparently no published reports of the

cxperimerttal analysis or evaluation of curricular materials

in which pupil performance rate, directly and continuous l y

recorded , was used as a dependent variable . The present

study applied free operant methods to the analysis of the

performance of 59 reading disabled child:-:en en the Progr?.m.med

Reader of the ~ivan Rcacling Prog~ . A within-subject

design allowed an experimental analysis of each ir?.dividual

child •s performance . In addition, par.ametric and non­

parametric statistical analyses were performed on the

grouped data .

The extreme sensitivity of the direct and

continuous recording of pupil performance rate as a dependent

variable in the analysis of programed materials was demonstrated .

Fur.th.er, the efficiency of various contingency arrangements

was cx;:tnincd . I~ 211 conditions, the r,resentation and/o r

wit:hdrG1wal of a subsequent event prod~ce<l an obs1;rvablc

responses was discussed, and the need for further research

to uncover local inteructions for various contingency

arrangements was pointed out. The study also noted a

post-reinforcement condition (after effect} similar to

the behavioral contrast seen experimentally with animals .
