Abstract

The book Teaching Machines: The History of Personalized Learning by Audrey Watters (2021) is of interest to the readers of the Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior because the roots of teaching machines and programmed instruction are in the experimental analysis of behavior. Furthermore, the book addresses use-inspired basic research in education, one of our country's most pressing problems. The review begins with an introduction, followed by an overview of the book chapters, extending the historical, cultural, and behavior-analytic context presented by Watters. Particular emphasis is placed on the work of two not-so-well-known researchers in behavior analysis, Susan Meyer Markle (1928–2008) and Benjamin Wyckoff (1922–2007). The review continues with an assessment of the audience for the book and its contributions to behavior analysis and some perspectives. An overarching theme throughout the review is the importance of learning and teaching the history of behavior analysis.

历史为何重要?回顾沃特斯的《教学机器:个性化学习的历史
奥黛丽-沃特斯(Audrey Watters)所著的《教学机器:奥黛丽-沃特斯(Audrey Watters)所著的《个性化学习的历史》(2021 年)一书之所以能引起《行为实验分析期刊》读者的兴趣,是因为教学机器和程序化教学的根源在于行为实验分析。此外,该书还涉及教育领域的使用启发式基础研究,这是我国最紧迫的问题之一。这篇评论以导言开始,随后概述了书中的章节,延伸了沃特斯介绍的历史、文化和行为分析背景。书中特别强调了两位并不知名的行为分析研究者苏珊-迈耶-马克尔(Susan Meyer Markle,1928-2008 年)和本杰明-怀科夫(Benjamin Wyckoff,1922-2007 年)的工作。书评还对该书的读者群、该书对行为分析的贡献以及一些观点进行了评估。整篇评论的首要主题是学习和教授行为分析历史的重要性。
