ROTH, Erick. INSTRUCCIÓN PERSONALIZADA: ANALISIS EXPERIMENTAL DE LA CONDUCTA ACADÉMICA DE UNIVERSITARIOS AVANZADOS. Ajayu [online]. 2009, vol.7, n.1, pp.151-203. ISSN 2077-2161.

The aim of the present paper was to analyze, through three different studies, the influence of contingency management (variations of Keller`s Personalized Instruction System) upon the academic behavior -its rhythm and proficiency-of advanced university students. The first study was centered in the rhythm and stability of academic performance as a function of the moment in which tha task begins. The second study allowed some conclusions related to the relevance of assessing short term objectives and its influence upon the stabilization of academic rhythm. This study also informed about the importance of monitoring practice with regard to students proficiency, as well as the facilitating effects of attending to discussion sessions upon subsequent evaluation controls. The third study stresses the importance of certain motivational resources to warrant an adequate student academic response. In this study, it was also possible to demonstrate a direct relationship between the self monitoring process (as a systematic observation of own academic behavior) and efficiency. Finally, the author was also concerned with the opinion of those students who participated in the personalized course, concerning the general procedures adopted during the instructional process.
