Historiography of Linear Programming
• This programmimg was founded by Dr.B.F.Skinner
• B.F.Skinner known as the father of as well as pioneer of this
programming.
• It is based on experiment of skinner which is known as operant
conditioning.
Definition and Process of Liner Programing
• In this type of programming every learner starts from the initial frame and ends with terminal
frame,with chorno logical or sequential order each every student must go through each and
every frame in straight line fashion. That’s why it is called as liner programming learning.
• It means if we brake the word linear we can get the word “LINE”; which means straight and
sequential order we draw line it goes straight there is no any barriers or obstacles or bumps in
line.
• Each and every student /learner have his or her liberty to complete the programme at their
own pace ,time & space evaluation is there in each frame. there is sign/symbol or clue to give
answer easier. The programmed is based on mentality and individuality of learners.
Principle of Linear Programming
• Principle of small steps
• Principle of immediate confirmation
• Principle of self pacing
• Principle of student testing
• Principle of individualizing.
• Principle of evaluation.
Advantages of Linear Programming
• It is based on experiment of opreant conditioning.
• Each steps decided by the programmer.
• Well sequential.
• The whole topic is divided into frames.
• Immediate feedback is the key factor.
• There is sign/clue/symbol available.
• It is self learning treatment or therapy.
• It is individualized programmed.
• It is student centered programmed.
• It is based on behavior of student.
• It is based on students pace/time and speed.
Limitation of Linear Programming
• Lack of motivation.
• Time consuming.
• Freedom of student gone.
• Lots of paperwork.
• It is costly.
• Lack of experts.
• One way instruction.
• No interaction between teacher and student.
• Linear programming is monotonous.
• Fixed style pattern.
• Rigid pattern.
• It is artificial rather than natural.
• There is scope of flexibility and compromise.
