Abstract	The rising demand over the past 2 years for interactive radio instruction (IRI) in Papua New Guinea has been unexpected and has come primarily from educators who have seen the difference it can make in the classroom. This enthusiasm was unexpected because it was not clear at the end of the Papua New Guinea Radio Science Project in 1990 how extensively funding cuts had affected its impact. Since then the government and educators in Papua New Guinea have asked for other core material to be adapted for radio broadcasts. Teacher demand is playing a vital role in the overall institutionalization of IRI in Papua New Guinea because planners recognized its importance in the change process. Because the driving force is coming from teachers, the process is moving beyond the institutionalization of interactive radio to the institutionalization of interactivity itself. The adoption of the interactive character of the Radio Science program as the standard for all school radio instruction is beginning in Papua New Guinea. (Contains 11 references.) (SLD)
