Program Individualizes Instruction At Snow EPHRAIM -- Since the days when Socrates talked with the students on park benches and street corners in ancient Athens, teachers have sought ways to individualize in-dividualize instruction. In keeping with that agelong age-long search for better ways of teaching, the Snow College Division Di-vision of Technical and Occupational Occupa-tional Education is now developing develop-ing a three-year pilot program in individualized instruction. The Utah State Board of Vocational Vo-cational Education is funding the program with a $58,000.00 grant. That amount is being spent foi equipment, materials and per sonnel. "We call it a pilot program," explained Prof. Lyman Tolman, . chairman of Snows T&OEd Division, Di-vision, 'because we believe some of the methods, techniques and materials we are developing will be adopted by other institutions or at least will encourage them to establish individualized programs pro-grams of their own." Snow's pilot program began last summer when teachers oi several vocational classes-agri-business, automechanics, carpentry, drafting, electronics, office management and welding-spent welding-spent six weeks on the campus writing courses of study, preparing pre-paring work sheets and student self -tests and developing project report forms for their courses. From this initial phase we went on to the preparation of films and tapes that, in a modified modi-fied form, presented the lectures and demonstrations a teacher ordinarily or-dinarily presents before an entire en-tire class," Professor Tolman said. What we set out to do," he added, "was establish a situation situa-tion in which each student could progress at his own rate, without with-out having to wait for. or try to keep up with the rest of the class. "When a student is ready for a particular assignment, he obtains ob-tains the printed materials, studies stu-dies the lesson in the manual or textbook, obtains the films and tapes covering that lesson, plays them in one of the carrels in his classroom and, finally, when he feels he has mastered the assignment, takes the self-test. If the results of the self-test show he has mastered the assignment, assign-ment, he goes on to the next one. If not, he restudies the material 'All along the way, however, the teacher is checking on his progress by means of the project sheet and grades him on the basis of his competence and performance." perfor-mance." The teacher, however, does more than check on the students' progress, Professor Tolman said. "The instructor is in the classroom seven hours a day. He acts as a resource person, a consultant and an advisor. If a student still has trouble with an assignment, after reading the textbook, watching the film and listening to the tape, the teacher tea-cher is there to help him on an individual, person - to - person basis." This instructional method is now being used in several occupational occu-pational and technical classes at Snow. "Some students are able to move ahead rapidly, others need more time. Some require only an hour's practice to master a particular skill; others have to repeat and repeat before they've learned the technique. Professor Tolman believes that this individualized method of teaching and learning has other advantages. "We say our classes are open-entrance and open-exit," open-exit," he said; "because a student stu-dent can start a course anytime during the school term and leave when he's completed the work to the instructor's satifaction., He's not bound by time schedules and the traditional lock-step routines." rou-tines." 'Although Professor Tolman and his staff in the Division of T&OEd. are mainly involved in helDins students acquire skills that they can sell on the labor market, they think some of the methods and techniques they're developing can be used to advantage advan-tage in more academic areas like math and English. "Study itself reading, writing, composition compo-sition involve skills that can better be taught on an individual basis." Although we've had our pilot program underway only six months," Professor Tolman said, we feel that we have already al-ready made considerable progress. pro-gress. In our alotted three years, we will have tested and refined it. We've already introduced our new, individualized method into a half-dozen classes. The students stu-dents in those classes seem to be thriving on it. Three management appointments appoint-ments at Geneva Works have been announced by H.A. Huish, general superintendent of the U.
