Abstract
Computer-based instruction has the capability of adjusting instructional treatment to the student's psychological learning processes during instruction. This paper discusses a procedure for applying this capability of computer-based instruction in the instructional design process. The proposed procedure is: 1) Identify the attributes of learning outcomes expected in a given task; 2) Identify possible response patterns which may be demonstrated in achieving the expected learning outcomes; 3) Prepare an instructional treatment which can sensitively react to the student's different response patterns. A strategy for concept teaching is used as an example for explaining this procedure. This procedure guides the student along the shortest track to achieve the expected learning outcomes. Also, it provides the most appropriate amount of instruction to each student according to his/her learning needs.
