Programmed Instruction (PI)

This is method where training is offer without the intervention of a trainer. Information is provided to the trainee in blocks, either in a book form of through a teaching machine.

PI involves:

  1. Presenting questions, facts, or problems to the learner
  2. Allowing the person to respond
  3. Providing feedback on the accuracy of his or her answers
  4. If the answers are correct, the learner proceeds to the next block. If not, he or she repeats the same.

This method involves a sequence of steps that are often set up through the central panel of an electronic computer as guides in the performance of desired operation or series of operations.

This method involves breaking information down into meaningful units and then arranging these in a proper way to form a logical and sequential learning.  The programme involves– presenting questions, facts or problems to trainees to utilize the information given and the trainee instantly receive feedback on the basis of the accuracy of his answers
