Skinner invents the Teaching Machine, a device designed to present programmed instruction to students. The machine provides immediate feedback and allows students to progress at their own pace, reflecting Skinner's belief in individualized learning and the importance of reinforcement.

Skinner champions the use of programmed instruction in education, arguing that it can improve learning outcomes by breaking down complex material into small, manageable steps and providing immediate reinforcement for correct responses.

Skinner's principles of operant conditioning influence the development of behavior modification techniques in education. These techniques involve using reinforcement and punishment to shape student behavior and improve classroom management.

Skinner's emphasis on individualized learning and immediate feedback continues to influence educational practices today. Computer-based learning systems and personalized learning approaches reflect his vision of education tailored to the needs of each student.
