Such programming requires determining (1) what repertoires are to be developed, (2) are there adequate stimuli available to affect change, (3) what contingencies will be designed given type of programming required, and (4) how can parts of the instructional conditions be arranged and re-arranged given required contingencies or programming? Application of these four formulation questions to classroom programming will be reviewed and discussed. |
