This creative project was developed as self-Instructional programmed material directed to the college-level student enrolled in biology courses requiring a general understanding of seed plant anatomy. A review of the literature pertaining to learning theories of programmed instruction, program construction and development, and testing and statistical measurement for the purpose of program evaluation is included. Particular attention was given to the relative importance of sequence of materials and mode of response to provide the most effective means of reinforcement in the learning process.The text of the program was used by students enrolled In Plant Biology 212 during both the spring quarter and first summer session of 1970. Results of pre- and post- objective achievement tests were used to detect those areas of the program which were in need of revision. Revisions proposed for the program presented included additional program frames, three self-tests and answers for each, and a subject index for purposes of review.
