Four Perspectives on Educational Technology By: Tammy Kempf, Cindy Listowski, and Donnalee Washburn
Media and AV communications • Audiovisual- ways to deliver information without lectures or books. • In 1930s, educators began to believe that media delivered information in more concrete and informative ways. • Concerned with devices that carry messages and the applications of these devices in instructional situations. • Focus on media educators and media associations. • Impact on instructional use of telecommunications and computer/information systems.
Instructional Systems • Belief that teachers and media could be part of a system for addressing an instructional need. • A systematic approach to designing, developing, and delivering instruction, matched to carefully defined needs. • International Society for Performance Improvement (ISPI)-concerned with creating and validating instructional systems in order to improve productivity and competence in the workplace.
Vocational Training Tools • Need technology to enhance training in specific job skills, i.e. business and industry. • Prepare students for the work world, i.e. word processing skills. • Can be integrated into all subject areas. • Includes other topics, such as robotics, manufacturing systems, and computer-assisted design systems. • International Technology Education Association-ITEA)-helped shape a major paradigm shift in vocational training in K-12 schools.
Computers and Computer Based Systems • Educational computing includes both instructional and support applications of computers. • Computers are a part of a combination of technology resources, including media, instructional systems, and computer based support systems. • International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE)- is currently the influential force leading the movement for technology skill standards for teachers and students.
