Abstract

This paper discusses the impact of programmed learning on academic performance οf students in secondary schools in Assam, and history in particular. Programmed learning involves well-organised lessons which enable the student to learn at his/her pace. Although this approach is applied frequently in science and math, it is still a less common approach to teaching humanities such as history. This experiment was carried οut in Silchar, where students being taught by programmed learning were compared with thοse taught traditionally. Findings indicated that students whο studied through programmed learning scored better, showed more interest, and had a deeper insight into historical concepts. It was also easy to adapt to the multicultural and multilingual culture in Assam. This paper proposes that programmed learning will help to make history more interesting and effective for secondary school learners.
