The Personalized System of Instruction: A New Idea in Education

Writer-director, Jim Kay

Describes the basic principles of the Personalized System of Instruction: 1) self-pacing, 2) the use of lectures as motivational more than informational, 3) 100 percent mastery of content before proceeding from lesson to lesson, 4) use of proctors, and 5) stress on the written word. Developed originally for psychology courses at Georgetown University by Dr. J.G. Sherman
