Supplementary Projects: Purpose

Abstract

One of the outcomes of individualized instruction is enabling the pupil to proceed at his own rate and to complete the unit as an individual task rather than a group task. Individual differences between the rates of learning as well as rates of application often produce a state of affairs in the teaching program that discourages the new teacher using the individualized method of instruction. The bright pupil may complete a unit or an assignment a day, two days, or even a week before the rest of the class. The question arises as to what to do with the bright pupil or the pupil who learns with facility and works rapidly.
