Students work through the programmed material by themselves at their own speed and after each step test their comprehension by answering an examination question or filling in a diagram. They are then immediately shown the correct answer or given additional information. Programmed learning material which both tests students' abilities and marks their progress, may supplement classroom activity or help students to develop ideas and skills independently. Programmed instruction is a systematic, step by step, self instructional programme aimed to ensure the learning of the stated behavior. It is thought as the way of Dzgrowingdz or improving instruction. )t places the learner at the centre where he himself constructs knowledge rather than passively absorbing it. An individualǯs knowledge is a function From the last decades new methods and techniques in education are having an increasing effect on the traditional teaching and learning. Among the new approaches and innovations that have gained importance in recent years is programmed instruction. The purpose of programmed instruction is to manage learning under controlled conditions. Many of the research studies also found that learning and understanding is significantly increasing with the help of programmed instruction. Branching programming is one of the major types of programmed instruction. The main objective of the study was to find out the impact of branching programmed learning material in English grammar at PU level and also to study the difference between the control and experimental group in their learning outcomes. In address to this, the researcher administered pre and post test for 120 students from N.V PU college. The data were obtained and statistically analyzed with appropriate technique. The major findings revealed that branching programmed learning material has positive impact on students learning and there is significant difference in science, arts and commerce studentsǯ achievement. Therefore more number of students can be motivated to learn through learning material in ease and effective manner.
