Instructional Technology Defined
According to Perelman (2008) define of instruction technology, “instruchial technology is just what it sounds (e.g., computers, CD-ROMs, interactive media, Modems, satellites, teleconferencing, and other technological means to support learning”. Some believe that technology education back to the era scholars of Greece, and some saw the beginning of the twentieth century, and if we took the first view as the beginning of education movement in the sixties of the twentieth century at the hands of the world’s Skinner. Hence, there were many stages of technology development. The web site shows our some the stages of the technology from the beginning of the twentieth century after World War II until now:

2. Audio-Visual Instruction 1930s
3. Communication Concept1940s
4. System Concept.
5. Behavioral Sciences.
6. Instructional Design.

One of things that I have always believed is that you have to know where you have been to know where you need to be going. There are some aspects of all those technologies that we can incorporate into "modern day". Of course there are also aspects of those technologies that we should avoid like plague. For example the audio/visual movement was great in getting more current events into the classroom but after a while footage stagnated and the media catalogs were not kept up properly. IT departments of school could learn from that in their software upgrading habits.
ReplyDeleteUnderstanding the terminology for the content area we study is the first step. As an educator it's the first stop in the lesson plan and as an an adult learner, the step should be equally present. Sometimes I think we think we know the terminology, but in this area, at least for me, sometimes slowing down and taking a longer look at all the new words and terminology so that ideas can gel more cohesively can make all the difference.
