Abstract

LIMITED DEVELOPMENT OF INNOVATIVE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS Paralleling the limited concept of teaching objectives in general, the development of innovative instructional materials has been equally limited. A body of research related to cognitive processes and learning has been developing, but the theoretical ideas that have stimulated this research have not been tested in the development of teaching materials. Although the development of new materials has grown as a response to some of the main problems of education today, research on the cognitive processes has been little considered for the contribution it can make toward the writing of effective materials. Innovative materials have been written for many fields of study including mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, English, and some areas of social studies, but they are developed on the basis of dissatisfaction with present materials. A general theory for generating the materials does not exist.
