Which of the following statements is most accurate and reflects the core technical characteristic of 'Branching Programmed Instruction' proposed by Norman Crowder?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Branching Programmed Instruction
Programmed Instruction is an essential topic in Child Development and Pedagogy. Norman A. Crowder developed Branching Programmed Instruction, also known as Intrinsic Programming.
- Contrast with Linear Programming: Unlike B.F. Skinner's Linear Programming where all students follow the exact same path using very small steps, Crowder's model uses larger instructional units followed by multiple-choice questions.
- Remediation Mechanism: If a student answers correctly, they proceed to the next main step. If the answer is incorrect, the student is directed to a separate 'branch' for specialized diagnosis and remediation containing additional explanation to correct the specific error.
Therefore, option (b) accurately describes the core technical characteristic of this method.
