Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To summarize, cluster analyses of various instructional decisions and tasks employed by 'effective' microcomputer-using teachers revealed four characteristic patterns of use: 'orchestration, ' 'enrichment', 'adjunct instruction, ' and 'drill and practice.' 'Orchestrators' are distinguished by their multiplicity of uses and degree of integration between microcomputer use and ongoing instruction. 'Enrichers' appear to encourage student familiarity with the microcomputer within a less ambitious instructional program. 'Adjunct instroctors' appear to use the microcomputer selectively to enhance conceptual mastery within the subject matter. 'Drillers' seem to provide students with an extensive program of drill and practice on the microcomputer to enhance mastery of procedures.

Download or read book Staff Development for Instructional Uses of Microcomputers written by and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lack of adequately trained teachers presents a major obstacle to the effective instructional uses of microcomputers in schools. For example, a survey of all school districts in California revealed that over 60 percent of the teachers using computers were either unprepared or inadequately prepared. Over three-fourths of the districts not using computers reported that faculty had practically no preparation in instructional computer use. This shortage of trained teachers is clearly evidenced not only in California, but in other states. Moreover, a few districts have the facilities, resources, staff, and reward structure to offer a systematic training program for microcomputer-based instruction. A second factor is the number of teachers who require training. Although the number of computer-related courses offered at teacher-training institutions is increasing, the vast majority of teachers do not receive this preservice education in computer use. For example, in a national survey of 1200 teachers, only 11 percent reported receiving some computer training in college or university.
Book Synopsis "Successful" Use of Microcomputers in Classroom Instruction by :
Download or read book "Successful" Use of Microcomputers in Classroom Instruction written by and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A widely shared belief among many policy makers, educators, parents, and the general public is that microcomputers have the potential to help pull U.S. education out of its current state of mediocrity (National Commission on Excellence in Education, 1983), and subsequently improve its quality. A number of barriers, however, impede the widespread implementation of microcomputers in classrooms. Along with cost, the major barrier to full implementation is the lack of knowledge possessed by researchers and educational practitioners alike regarding the nature of the knowledge, skills, and attitudes a teacher must have to use microcomputers successfully in classroom instruction. This paper addresses the standard implied in such an evaluation, that is, the nature of 'successful' classroom microcomputer use that might be embodied in the teaching of widely recognized, expert or master teachers. From the teachers' standpoint, microcomputers are an educational technology used as an instructional tool. Thus, the application of the instruction tool should be central to such an evaluation, within the broader context of ongoing classroom instruction.
Book Synopsis Using Microcomputers in the Social Studies Classroom by : Robert B. Abelson
Download or read book Using Microcomputers in the Social Studies Classroom written by Robert B. Abelson and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to help teachers feel at ease with microcomputers so that they will begin to think of computers as tools that they themselves might use. There are four chapters. The first chapter provides basic information to help a user understand the computer. Discussed are how the computer is put together and how it works. To help teachers generate ideas about how this new educational aid might be useful in terms of their own teaching objectives, the second chapter describes why and how other educators are using the computer. Chapter 3 is an introduction to software evaluation, i.e., how computer programs that are available for use in the classroom can be judged. Criteria are presented. It is suggested that teachers using computer-assisted instruction should have a feel for some of the broader issues related to computers in education, as well as practical knowledge. The purpose of the fourth chapter, which deals with social and educational issues and directions, is to provide a perspective about these broader issues and a context into which teachers might place their own activities. Most of the book's readings provide a bibliography of references and further resources. In addition, a list of resources available through the ERIC system is provided. (RM)

Book Synopsis Microcomputers and the Classroom Teacher by : Gail A. Caissy
Download or read book Microcomputers and the Classroom Teacher written by Gail A. Caissy and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph for teachers addresses two emerging areas in the computing field--providing inservice training in microcomputer use for the general teaching population, and integrating the use of microcomputers into the overall curriculum. A brief discussion of why computers should be used in the classroom introduces five chapters which provide overviews of the following topics: (1) the use of computers in teaching and learning (areas of computer use and using the computer as a teaching/learning tool); (2) types of software available for schools (computer-assisted instruction software, applications software, and databases); (3) integrating computers into the classroom; (4) developing a plan for using computers in the classroom (setting up a classroom computer center and working with only one computer in the classroom); and (5) evaluating educational software (general questions, questions about instructional design, and questions about physical characteristics of the program). A concluding statement argues that the key to continued growth and expansion in the educational computing field lies with classroom teachers and urges them to take an interest in computers and begin to use this important new tool in their classrooms. A 71-item reference list concludes the document. (EW)

Book Synopsis District and School Incentives for Teacher' Instructional Uses of Microcomputers by : C. Stasz
Download or read book District and School Incentives for Teacher' Instructional Uses of Microcomputers written by C. Stasz and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The microcomputer has become an important educational innovation, and the number of computers available for instruction in public schools is increasing dramatically. The number of teachers with training and knowledge to use computers effectively for instruction is lagging and consequently, beneficial uses of the technology are far from realized. There is widespread recognition that to optimize computer use in classrooms, many teachers will need some form of encouragement. A key factor that may encourage more widespread use of microcomputers in classroom instruction is teacher incentives. Various types of incentives have been proposed to stimulate teachers' involvement with computers. For example, organizational incentives such as support for training or providing various forms of technical assistance may help encourage the implementation of microcomputers to teachers over weekends, vacations, and summers or subsidizing teachers to author courseware may increase teachers' proficiency with computers.
