Horton, president of Kittrell. To meet this responsibility, all faculty members at the college are required to organize their courses into systematic, self-instructional units. Each unit has clearly stated behavioral objectives tht behavioral objectives that tell the student what he is expected to learn. Faculty members are shown how to develop these instruc tional units at a series of two and one-half day workshops conducted by the National Laboratory for Higher Educa tion (NLHE) in Durham, N.C. In addition, NLHE conducts workshops - for educational development officers, special ists in instruction and evalua tion who aid faculty members in revising their instructional units. All courses at Kittrell, if not yet completely self-instruc tional, now have some self instructional units. The NLHE systems ap proach is based on Dr. Ben jamin S. Bloom's concept of "learning for mastery." Bloom a noted educator at the Univer sity of Chicago, contends that 95 percent of the students at any college, given sufficient time and appropriate types of help, can master any subject. "The time spent on learning is the key to mastery," Bloom asserts. "Not only must the student himself devote suffi cient time to mastering the task, but he must be allowed sufficient time for learning to take place." The instructional units break course work into a series of small, carefully sequenced steps. Students can progress at their own rate, free from the lockstep pace of the lecture method. The units employ a variety of learning styles-tapes, film strips, transparencies, field trips, small discussion groups, etc., giving students some choice over how they learn. The units are evaluated by a committee which includes the academic dean, educational development officer, and re search and development officer. This committee also considers student reactions to the units, which come in the form of evaluation pages filled out by the students, statistics that indicate where students are having repeated difficulties, and informal talks with students. Kittrell defines teaching as "causing learning." Learning, in turn, is defined as a change in behavior-learning which enables students to behave in ways that were not possible before teaching took place. Consequently, if no measurable evidence of learning can be shown, it can be inferred that no teaching occurred. The behavioral objectives included in the instructional units are measurable, and provide teachers a clear yard stick by which to judge whether or not learning took place. For example, one ob jective might be: "Given paragraphs which are argumen tative, the student will be able to identify those that are with out fallacy, and those that are fallacious. In addition, he will identify the faulty logic in the fallacious arguments." Another aspect of tradition al education which has been changed at Kittrell is the puni tive grading system, which usually penalizes students for failing to learn in a prescribed period of time. At Kittrell, the grades of "D" and "F" have been elimi nated. Instead, the grade report shows the student re ceives no credit, but is pro gressing (NCP), or simply receives no credit (NC) * The student is then allowed addi tional time, without penalty, to master the material. "We believe that the stu dent's motivation can be en hanced by eliminating failures and incompletes from his re cord, and that positive rein forcement and successful learn ing experiences are causative factors which increase student learning," said President Horton. "Kittrell wants to make learning exciting; we want to make being in a classroom an exciting experience," said Norman C. Camp, 111, dean of academic affairs. The college has employed a media special ist to help faculty members H Iff all -111 , ,^■ll',' jbl BI 'IHII ■| iMjy m ■/ ili *iß i 9 oj2 JWC ' Ml M BFo Mm fll . flnfl fe *'«^> A BA v^'-i) ■hi.

Farm Subsidies on Decline WASHINGTON -The Agriculture Department In dicated Monday that federal subsidies for cotton, wheat and feed grain farmers will be smaller this year. It estimated total payments at about $2.7 billion this year, down S6OO million from 1970. Under a new law that took effect this year, payments are limited to a maximum of. $55,000 per crop or a total of $165,000 for farmers quali fying under all three categories. But the Washington Post reported Monday that Sen. James O. Eastland, D-Miss., and actor John Wayne were among many growers who have softened the effects of the legislation by breaking up their holdings, leasing them to other farmers, and then collecting the payments. Eastland, a member of the improve and enrich their units and the college is designing what it calls "mini-learning" laboratories. (To Be Continued Next Week) UISSB IB % I Hal Morrow Midnight-6 A.M.

Senate Agriculture Com mittee, subdivided his 5,200 acre Mississippi cotton plan tatation into eight new businesses to gain benefits of $160,000 a slight decline from last year, the Post said. Wayne and some business partners will receive $218,000 in cotton payments to three Arizona ranches, the "Red River," the "Rio Bravo" and the "El Dordado," the Post said. The group got SBIO,OOO in cotton subsidies last year. The J. G. Boswell Co. of California, whose $4.4 million in 1970 topped the list of giant farms getting subsidies, also has rented out its cotton holdings to 50 investors who could receive $2,750,000 this year, the newspaper said. Legal Action The split-ups are legal since the law does not ban such action. The 1970 law imposing a ceiling on payments this year was passed after a long period of unlimited payments during which several big farms were able to collect more than $1 million annually. On June 23, the House voted to further cut the limit to 20,000 and sent the legislation to the Senate. Fan oc lob byists are working to persuade the Senate to reject the move and then to kill the proposal in a joint conference com mittee. In its report, the Agriculture Department said checks for more than sl.l billion of this year's payments had been pro cessed for delivery to farmers as of last weekend. That was about 60$0 million behind last year's pace. gpMppHßp lei M' i yyt,¥» ■ ■¥ la miiSjgacaa ■ | LAWREN CE HARPER WHO IS CONFINED TO A \ ?j; WHEEL CHAIR HAS- jj' *lO Baxter St, ' Phone ~ a BMidMee rOl Mie ■ «Men» J ; BYR ONE AND HAKE A CONTRIBUTION TO A ' !' | MAN WHO GAVE HIS ALL TO SAVE ANOTHER '; j f 4 N.
