Descriptive Case Studies of Training, Research and Development in Computers and Related Instructional Technologies for Teachers at Three NCATE Universities

Topic. The initial focus of this study was the computer and related instructional technology training of preservice teachers. Two areas related to the study, (1) graduate-level instruction in computers and related instructional technologies and (2) research and development in the area of computers in instruction, were also surveyed, with the intent of exploring their relationship to the training of preservice teachers and their influence on instruction in general. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to describe training, research, and development in computers and related instructional technologies at three NCATE universities which were identified as doing a good job of preparing teachers to teach in the Information Age. Sources. Using a qualitative case study research method, five research questions concerning the computer and related instructional technology training of preservice teachers were addressed. Semi-structured interviews, informal interviews, observations, questionnaires, NCATE documents, school of education bulletins, class syllabi, and handouts were used in the cross-case analysis. Conclusions. The findings from the research questions provide other teacher preparation programs with models for development, new ideas, and fresh approaches. Findings from an exploration of the two areas related to the study support the opinions of many educators who think that the delivery of instruction is changing and that technology is playing an important role in that change. Distance education, multi/hyper/interactive media, and technical skills necessary to access, manipulate, store, and retrieve information are perceived as growing inimportance, due to the demands of the Information Age

A course-oriented intelligent tutoring system with probability assessment

Most Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) in the past have concentrated on small domains and have been topic-oriented. They have tended to be non-extendable prototypes and have neglected the expertise of human teachers. It is argued here that a promising approach at this time is to design course-oriented ITS shells which are based on the human teacher. Courses using such shells could be used to take some of the load of first-time delivery and assessment from teachers and lecturers, and leave them more time for individual tutoring. [Continues.

Technology: an imperative in schools today

This study identified, prioritized, and fulfilled technological needs of faculty and staff at an elementary school. A list of technological skills in ascending hierarchical order was devised. From the list, a needs analysis was devised. Through the use of the survey, the intern was able to glean a holistic view of the needs of the faculty. Due to financial constraints, the intern provided workshops to fulfill the needs. A comparison of skills both before the workshops and again afterward, showed a significant increase in computer competency in five of the eight indicators-specifically the ability to recognize hardware components, power up a computer, execute a word processor, access the Internet for information, and to send and receive electronic mail
