88. Robert Craig, et al, wrote of the phase of steps in

the interplay of the learner and the social factors
that surround him, 3.) the acquisition of a new
response or behavior he gives to the new learning
and 4.) Retention which presupposes that the new

90. In the early 1980’s programmed teaching became

differences in learners. The chunks of the subject
matter which are divided into units are supposed to
help the learner master the lesson, since it is simply
to understand the frame of the lessons. No test o
mastery of the units are done because the purpose is
to provide information on certain subject matter
