Abstract: The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of ordered and scrambled sequential presentations in the programed instruction of tennis rules. A secondary purpose was to observe the effectiveness of programed instruction as the source of information among college students engaged in the study of tennis rules. The linear program was constructed with a horizontal ordered sequence and a vertical scrambled sequence. The constructed program proved to be valid according to the standard of the American Institute for Research. Selected students in four beginning tennis classes were used as the subjects in this study. They were divided into matched pairs on the basis of a tennis rules pre-test. One group studied the programed manuals according to an ordered sequence while the second group studied the material in a scrambled sequence. The subjects completed the programed manual on tennis rules in one week and were then post-tested on tennis rules.
