Abstract
Introductory computer science courses offer an excellent test bed for utilizing a personalized system of instruction. The ubiquity and operating hours of computer terminals and computer centers in educational institutions is ideal for student self-pacing. The rapid response time of computers is a positive reinforcement when solving problems. The recent advent of the PLATO computer-based educational system provides many opportunities for students and faculty in computer science and many other disciplines. PLATO terminals provide a powerful motivational tool for PSI. Motivation is a critical part of computer science courses. Students are expected to acquire synthesis-level skills in the cognitive domain. This level of knowledge is higher than the level of skill, memorization or rule application, required for many other introductory courses. An Excellent Mixture for PSI: Computer Science, PLATO, and Knowledge Levels.
