Enhanced Mathematics Learning: Does Technology Make A Difference?, Katherine Dix Jun 1999

Enhanced Mathematics Learning: Does Technology Make A Difference?, Katherine Dix

Dr Katherine Dix

This paper investigates the effectiveness of technology- based instruction in secondary mathematics, by comparing students' achievements resulting from technology-rich assignments with those achievement resulting from equivalent assignments presented in traditional format. In addition, the development of the technology- rich assignments, from traditional paper- based instruction and within existing curricula, provides an example of the relative ease of integrating technology into the curriculum. Within the context of mathematics, issues of attitude towards computers, motivation and gender differences are examined.

Ethnoquest: An Interactive Multimedia Simulation For Cultural Anthropology Fieldwork, Carey Brunner Van Loon, Frances Berdan, Edward A. Stark Jan 1999

Ethnoquest: An Interactive Multimedia Simulation For Cultural Anthropology Fieldwork, Carey Brunner Van Loon, Frances Berdan, Edward A. Stark

Theses Digitization Project

EthnoQuest, an interactive multimedia CD-ROM simulating a visit to a fictional village named Amopan, was conceived as an adjunct to college-level classroom instruction in introductory anthropology courses. Since these classes typically involve large numbers of students, the logistics on conducting actual fieldwork pose serious problems for instructors and students alike. The conception of an engaging, interactive, accessible learning tool that incorporates appropriate pedagogical principles has found its ultimate expression in EthnoQuest.

Cybernetics, Cyberpedagogy & Post-Industrial Society, David Shutkin Dec 1998

Cybernetics, Cyberpedagogy & Post-Industrial Society, David Shutkin

David S. Shutkin

The writer considers cybernetics, cyperpedagogy, and postindustrial society. Systemic endeavors to restructure schooling are seeing the reemergence of functionalist models of education systems. This “cybernetics” of education is informed by the rhetoric of a postindustrial society and casts the education of children as a rational feedback model of purpose, content, and input/output processes. Postindustrial society requires that schools supply individuals who can work productively in a range of state-sponsored corporate institutions. Therefore, education is reduced to instrumental and economic concerns and the student becomes a human resource. The writer reflects on pedagogic strategies that he has adopted in order to …
