It may act as a way that the student

may review and memorize certain

lessons and topics that the student was
not able to grasp during his/her lecture.
Programmed instruction can be used to
go further in depth into a lesson that the
teacher may or may not have been
able to discuss.
This may aid in mastery of a concept.

Students control the teaching and thus
the learning.
This teaching methods pace is dictated
by the student to help ensure that
he/she was able to fully grasp the lesson.
Whether a slow or fast learner, the
programmed instruction will
accommodate and teach at whatever
pace the learner finds comfortable.

This can be used to teach basic
concepts and skills when a student does
not have a teacher.
This cannot be applied to all concepts
and skills though, since some topics
require a degree or full of human
interaction.

The benefit of programmed instruction is
the self-stimulation and the effort made
by the student. In this way the student
develops their ability to think and to
learn on his/her own.
Independence can help be promoted
this way.
With recent technological advances,
programmed instruction becomes more
commonly used.
Programmed instruction acts as a way
that the learners may learn, when
resources are lacking.
It helps share knowledge to others.
