The Technology of teaching
Book • 1968
B. F.
Skinner's The Technology of Teaching presents a behaviorist framework for designing instruction based on operant conditioning principles.
Skinner argues education can be engineered by analyzing behavior, arranging contingencies of reinforcement, and using programmed instruction to shape learning.
The book explores methods for delivering immediate feedback, sequencing material, and ensuring observable learning outcomes.
Its practical stance influenced later applied approaches, including precision teaching and direct instruction.
Over decades, it has been influential among educators interested in scientifically grounded, measurable teaching methods.
