Abstract:

This paper reviews the main contribution of cybernetics to the art and science of teaching. It reviews the bearing of cybernetic principles on teaching methods, and considers teaching as the control of learning. It describes the difference between sequential and skill teaching machines and the value of computer assistance in teaching machines. Adapative machines and adaptive metasystems are briefly discussed.
