title: Auto-tutorial method for teaching manual skills.
abstract: This paper describes a self-learning method for teaching craft and activity techniques developed by the faculty at St. Mary's Junior College, Minneapolis. The basic assumption is that, in order for learning to take place, the student must be actively involved in the learning-teaching process. Personalized instruction was simulated in an auto-tutorial laboratory where the student was responsible for organizing his time and for mastering specified craft and activity techniques.
