Rooted in behavioral psychology, PI relies on a systematic and structured approach to teaching, where learners progress through a predetermined sequence of instructional materials at their own pace. This abstract explores the dual nature of PI, emphasizing its autocratic foundation and individualized execution. The autocratic aspect of PI lies in the pre-programmed, linear nature of the instructional materials. A rigid framework is established, guiding learners through content in a predetermined order, leaving limited room for deviation. However, this structured approach serves a purpose, providing a clear and consistent path for learners to follow, ensuring essential concepts are covered systematically. Simultaneously, PI is inherently individualized, allowing learners to progress at their speed. The self-paced nature of the technique accommodates diverse learning styles and abilities, fostering a more personalized educational experience. Learners can revisit challenging material, accelerate through familiar concepts, and receive immediate feedback, promoting a tailored and adaptive learning environment. Despite the autocratic framework, PI empowers learners by fostering self-discipline, responsibility, and independence. Learners take an active role in their education, engaging in a process that adapts to their needs. This abstract concludes that while Programmed Instruction is autocratic in its design, its individualized execution provides a unique balance, catering to a spectrum of learners and offering a valuable contribution to modern educational methodologies.}, keywords = {Programmed Instruction, Teaching Techniques, Autocratic Teaching, Individualized Learning, Educational Technology, Self-Paced Learning, Behavioral Learning Theory, Student-Centered Learning, B.F.
