This study was undertaken to determine if a programmed machine is superior to a programmed text in teaching fluidic concepts to Industrial Education majors. An eighty frame linear program was produced in both text and thirty-five millimeter slide forms. A machine was constructed which displayed the slide, evaluated the response by the subject, and provided instantaneous feedback by cycling forward or backward one slide within the series.A group of randomly selected subjects was exposed to each of these programs and their learning measured by a criterion instrument of suitable reliability. A third group experienced only the criterion instrument.Statistical analysis revealed the performance of both programs to be significantly superior to no treatment. A comparison of the two experimental groups indicated the advantage of the machine group to be non-significant at an acceptable level of confidence.
