New Vistas In Education Seen In "Reward" Plan By BARBARA BUNDSCHU United Press International A quiet revolution is brewing in American education today because a couple of pigeons learned to play ping-pong. Dr. B. F. Skinner, a Harvard University psychologist, taught the pigeon and its partner to bat the ball between them with their Nichols, head of University of Minnesota Department of Rhetoric, told a University of Michigan speech conference American educators belatedly are awakening to the fact that listening is as important as reading in the learning process.

Nichols Compliments industry for its recognition of the value of effective listening. 'A somewhat sudden realization a few years ago that there is clear-cut dollar value in having employes who listen well has resulted in a number of training programs designed to achieve that 'he said. He said, employers eventually would use a "listening index" derived from standard itests of listening comprehension. Such a system could be used also for screening candidates for medicine, law or ther professions. Learning to concentrate is the most important factor in good listening.

He suggested that a person try to give one minute of every hour to intently listening to another person or to a sound such as an airplane, a bird's song or the hum of a machine. Nichols also suggested the following beaks the timc by rewarding them every even looked in the right direction. In the early 1950's he adapted the reward technique to human students. Lesson material, in psychology. was broken down into small steps in logical progression and put into machines for individual teaching.

The student saw a small frame with a statement and a question, usually requiring him to fill in a. blank and forcing immediate use of the new knowledge. The reward, or reinforcement, was the discovery, with the next flip of the machine, that he'd answered correctly, and was learning. He did. And continued to do so through increasingly -difficult material.

This was not all as new as it seemed. The first teaching machine had been. introduced in this country by Sidney Pressey of Ohio State University in the 1920s. Dr. Frank Laubach, missionary the world's illiterate, had fo 30 years been teaching previously unwritten languages with les sons constructed on almost precise- the same principles as Skin ner's.

The idea that a student learns jetter if he is not permitted to fail was expressed in Rome istruction-, says one early program went through 77 pupil-tested re' visions before it was found to contain all the necessary material in properly digested bites in the proper sequence. The proof in the percentage of student error, which should be very low. It can be "an exciting exercise in the analysis of knowledge," says Skinner. And a revelation, says a teacher who has worked with Komoski: "For generations we've taught reading as something that can be learned in five steps. Nosv we find there are 20!" that a settlement would be reached before the weekend.

AMC President George Romney said that "unless UAW negotiations are settled within the next day or so we-may not reach a settlement before the contract expires." Romney said, however, that "we're making progress" in the talks and appeared hopeful of say a subject is uninter- at east 19'centuries ago and has esting.

But Skinner, with his 1054 paper challenging educators to pay some attention to what the pschologists were discovering about learning, is generally regarded as the fathei of the modern teaching machine and its basic material program ed or "programmed instruction. (One of several disagreements among its advocates is how to spell it.) Thousands of students in hundreds of kindergartens through college classes across the country will be studying mathematics, languages, sciences and music this year with programmed materials produced by a number of universities and and public educational organizations. Some will use machines, others textbooks which use various devices to shield 1he answer and then provide it immed- ately. There is evidence, although not universal agreement, that they will earn more and learn it both more quickly and more thorough- than through conventional lecture and textbook study.

If so, it will be no machine-madr miracle but a striking advance in he process of teaching. For it is by no means easy tn make it easy for the student. Virtually every teacher who has to construct a program, Skinner says, has found that both ie and his text have omitted essential steps and failed lo make landing of the subject: matter. P.

As envisioned by Skinner, Komoski and others the teacher would be freed of time- consuming drill and correction to devote more time to individual- in- truction.
