Personalized System of Instruction (PSI): A Final Word
The final word on PSI is given to
Fred Keller (1974b):
"...PSI is not for the teacher who feels he is currently
successful, that age-old practices are basically sound or that any
faults they have could be repaired with just a little effort. PSI is
not for the teacher who is certain that all his problems would
disappear if his students were more carefully selected, better trained
before they reached him, or had sufficient pressure placed upon them
to do the work they should. It is not for any teacher who believes
that because he is a teacher the system that produced him must be
mainly good; that teaching is a game that he must win in competition
with his pupils; that lecturing is basic to every teacher's function;
that an examination or quiz is way of weeding out the weaklings; that
any large, strong, well-coordinated boy is probably a moron; that his
course could be a measure of I.Q.; and that anyone who fails it is
unlikely to succeed later in life." (p. 76)
