The study entitled "Programmed Learning: An Experimental Study" aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of programmed Learning Method over traditional Method in the subject of Geography of students of Class VIII. It was an experimental study in which programmed Learning Method was compared with traditional learning method. Programmed learning refers to self assisted instructional strategy in which the learner proceeds through the frames at his own pace of learning after getting immediate confirmation of results. The aim of this auto-instructional strategy is to maximize learning of the students by bridging the gap of individual difference. Government High School, Mudirath, Puri was selected as a sample through purposive sampling. Students were divided equally on the basis of teacher-made pre-test scores. Low achievers, high achievers and average students were divided in both the groups equally. Sample size was 80. Forty students were included in the experimental group and forty students were placed in control group. Pre-test, post-test equivalent group design was used. Programmed Text developed by the researcher was provided to experimental group while control group was taught by using traditional method for a period of 60 academic periods. At the end of treatment, a teacher made post-test was administered to measure the achievement in content areas of class VIII Social Science Text Book (geographysection) prescribed by B.S.E ,Odisha. The same teacher taught all those 4 content chapters of the text book to both the groups. To determine the effect of programmed learning method on achievement in different contents areas (Chapter-I Natural Resources, Chapter-II Agriculture, Chapter-III Industry, Chapter-IV Human Resource and World Issues). Significance of difference between mean scores ("t" test) was tested at 0.05 level. Data analysis reveals that both experimental and control groups were almost equal with regard to achievement in different content areas before conduction of experiment. The experimental group outscored significantly the control group on post-test showing the supremacy of programmed learning method over traditional learning method. Students having same achievement level performed badly on post-test after being learnt through traditional method. Hence the ultimate result of the study indicated that programmed learning promotes learning of the students. The students found programming frames easy and interesting while answering. They responded the programming modules satisfactorily. To conclude this self-corrective and self instructional strategy has tremendous advantage over traditional teacher-centred method.
