The chapter applies situative theory to examine the practices of chemists and to derive implications for the use of various kinds of representations in chemistry education. The two theories have implications for different but complementary educational goals—cognitive theory focusing on the learning of scientific concepts and situative theory on learning science as an investigative process. We go on ...

It reviews research on learning with books, television, computers, and multimedia environments. These media are distinguished by cognitively relevant characteristics of their technologies, symbol systems, and processing capabilities. Studies are examined that illustrate how these characteristics, and the instructional ...

They are attracted to the prospect that ICT can improve student achievement, improve access to schooling, increase efficiencies and reduce costs, enhance students' ability to learn and promote their lifelong learning, and prepare them for a globally competitive workforce. As the power and capability of computers have increased, as they have become interconnected ...

World Links is a technology-based program in Jordan that supports the Ministry's Education Reform for the Knowledge Economy. Surveys and site visits indicate that as a result of program training, teachers improved their technological and pedagogical skills, employed innovative pedagogy, and collaborated with others. Students increased their technology, leadership, ...

The focus of the Fellowship was the analysis and redesign of target courses regularly taught by the fellows. Technical assistance, equipment, training workshops, seminars, and personal consultation with project staff were provided. The project was based on the conceptual model of Rogers and ...

What I would like to talk to you about today is ICT, Educational Reform and Economic Development. Now many of us all around the world are facing economic challenges and creating new ways of economic development and broad-based prosperity. That is the challenge that we are facing. What I have found is that in traveling to countries around the world and talking to ministries of education, often the economic development rhetoric is used as a rationale for ...

Reflecting successes in Bangalore and Shanghai, much of these discussions advocate the concentration of ICT infrastructure in the urban centers. As such, development policies in Africa envision the use of ICT to support multimedia production houses in Cairo, business incubators in Dakar, call centers in Nairobi, and technology ...

Increasingly, educational policy makers are being asked to formulate educational policies and programs—particularly those related to information, communication, and technology (ICT)—in ways that advance the nation's economic and social development goals. This first paper of a two-part set describes the factors that influence sustained ...

Ten years ago, Richard Clark (1983) reviewed the results of comparative research on educational media and claimed that they provide consistent evidence “... for the generalization that there are no learning benefits to be gained from employing any specific medium to deliver instruction”(p. 445). According to Clark, the results of those studies that appear to favor one medium over another are due not to the medium but to the method or content that are introduced along with the medium. Clark concludes ...
