"It is held by same educators that \'Gita\' is the first example of programmed learning. They hold that the text of the \'Gita\' has several ingredients of programming--initial behaviour, small steps active participation of the learner, terminal behaviour, immediate feedback and self-evaluation by the learner. Programmed learning is a process of arranging material to be learned in a series of small steps designed to lead a learner through self instruction from what he knows to the unknown of new and more complex knowledge and principles. A programme takes the place of a tutor and leads the learner through a set of frames for specified behaviour designed and sequenced to make it more probable that he will behave in a given derived way. Production forms an important part of the process of audio development. Planning production, distribution, utilization and evaluation are five significant steps of educational broadcasting on playback of cassettes. These steps are interrelated and efficiency in all these stages spoils the entire radio programmes. Our training institutions can not produce effective teacher with help of learning theories."
