In both education and training, teachers are faced with many and varied problems relating to their teaching and their students’ learning. Educational technology, in its widest sense, provides teachers with methods and tools which, if properly used, can alleviate some of these problems. The computer is one such tool, offering, within certain limitations, some possible solutions. Originally published in 1979, this book describes the use of the computer as a resource and as a manager in education and training. It discusses the use, potential and limitations of this technology in helping the teacher and trainer. Beginning with a consideration of the role of the computer as a mediator in the flow of information between the student and his learning environment, the book goes on to look at Computer Assisted Learning from an educational viewpoint, the strength and weaknesses of a number of different media, and the problems of managing modular courses and course structures and handling information on students’ performance and progress. A chapter on informatics and education addresses the problem of what both teachers and students should know about computers, while the final chapter examines the practical problems of prompting and organising the appropriate use of this technology.
The fields of computer-assisted instruction and intelligent tutoring systems have had few vehicles for sharing ideas or programs. Different backgrounds and settings meant reading different journals and attending different conferences. The purpose of this book is to foster a mutual understanding of shared issues and contemporary approaches so as to further powerful educational applications of computing. It is unique in drawing on both the intelligent tutoring systems and computer assisted instruction communities. Each chapter provides an in-depth discussion by leaders in these fields of current work, focusing on instructional programs -- their design, use, and evaluation. The editors and authors have made extensive efforts to ensure each chapter's clarity and readability for both communities.
The purpose of this monograph is to provide useful guidelines for teachers and to review findings in the literature with respect to the positive instructional value of computers in the classroom. Following an introduction, research findings are organized into seven topics: (1) Availability and Use: past availability and use, current availability and primary uses of microcomputers; (2) Classroom Applications: computer assisted instruction, computer managed instruction, testing, record keeping, and instructional games; (3) Curricular Applications: language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies; (4) Exceptional Children; (5) Attitude and Motivation; (6) Large Computer Systems: PLATO and TICCIT; and (7) Issues and Concerns: videodisc, compact disc, multimedia, software, quality of research, relationship with industry, networking, teacher training, computer coordinators, and effect on formal education. A conclusion discusses the encouraging indicators of computer use as well as some existing problems and concerns. A 115-item bibliography is included. (LL)
