Abstract: Supervised learning is based on principles of programmed learning powered by artificial intelligence.. Supervised learning is created to define precisely learn­ing content, to fix activities which will enable success, pruvide conditions and means for that, create favourable psychological climate for acquiring knowledge, its control and development of human capabilities. On the other hand, supervised learning resu­lts from teacher's need to know how much and how pupils learns, what are their difficulties and how it is possible, to eliminate them. New educational technology, powered by artifitiel inteligence, has influence on introducing important changes in organization of educational institutions, contents and methods of teaching activity as well as in relations in institutions that are con­ducting teaching and education. Here we shall talk about supervised learning and intelligent software in order to indicate their place and role in modern teaching. Conditions are made for raising maximum success with minimum efforts and there are instruments and possibilities for adequate evaluaation of young people work. It is also achieved therewith that learning becomes entertaining to a certain degree and it engages pupils attention more strongly. The fact that programmed teaching takes care about intelligence, knowledge, level of reading skill of pupils, results of diagno­stic tests and teacher grade, also contributes to its quality. In supervised teaching information is usually given, a problem stated that pupil should solve, after that pupil gives his solution, does the operation (in case it is not automatically solved) to see the solution given by programmer, does comparison, eventual corrections and completions, gets a grade and instructions for further work. Thus dynamized learning is suitable to psychological characteristics of child and for that reason he is tireless in work in his first contacts with supervised teaching. Supervised learning is sometimes called autoinstruction, auto­matic instruction or selfinstruction because function of teacher in giving information is reduced to minimum or, in some cases, it is not evident at all. It is the reason why „pedagogical fashionable persons“ give brave statement that modern computers will replace teacher. However, researches have shown that “learning machines” are only one (truly very improved) tea­ching aid, but they do not replace teacher but influence gradual change of his function, to create new possibilities for learning and advancement of teaching. Therefore, it is a false dilemma „machines or man“, and real solution is „intelligent machines in hands of man“.
