Education or Computer?
It is really difficult to accommodate all the role of computer in
education The overall field of computers in education may be divided
into administrative, instructional, and research uses. Each may be
further subdivided. The emphasis in this book is on instructional uses.
Thus, the diagram given below shows subdivisions for that aspect of
the field of computers in education.
The overall field of instructional use of computers may be divided into
learning/teaching about computers, learning/teaching integrating
computer-as-tool (computer-integrated instruction, or CII), and
computer-assisted learning (CAL). Each component of this three-part
model of instructional use of computers emphasizes that both
students (learning) and teachers (teaching) are essential. The model
differs slightly from and is a little more general than the “tutor, tool,
tutee” model popularized by Robert Taylor (1980). A TC holds a
leadership position, interacting with classroom teachers, curriculum
specialists, and school administrators. This leadership position
involves dealing with all three major components of instructional use
of computers. This chapter defines the three components while the
next three chapters contain a more detailed examination of the
components from a TC point of view.
