The History of Instructional Design & Technology

A.)  After reading Chapter 3 in the Trends and Issue book, this devoted time on the history of instructional media. The three possible reason why the use of technology had little effect on the instructional practices employed by teachers for an entire year because of following:

 

Examples

1)  Since the early 1980's history of instructional media has been used as a tool that is displayed to the students. In other words technology does not take the teacher a way from the teaching process, it just adds to the value of what teachers are presenting. 

 

2) From the 20th Century instructional curriculum located in Museums located in the United States indicated that the use of teachers and books were not to be obsolete. Instead, teachers have the antinomy to select the particular media that they want to 

 

3.) Another reason is that instructional films has been used for military personnel since World War II to simulate, evaluate, analyze, and gain familiarity on the procedures to carry out in battles, and what to look for from the opponents. The study showed that Americans were training at a faster pace than their counterparts with the use of instructional videos.  From this study, I am able to believe that the coach, trainer, or teachers have always been using instructional technology as a way too speed up the learning process.

 

B.) Two strategies that could have been applied to help reduce the factors that contributed to minimal effects that the project had on instructional practices are (1) technology savvy teacher, (2)  teachers ability to construct objectives that integrate technology. The reason I believe that technology driven teacher will excel is because they have firsthand experience on using technology to educate themselves. Therefore, they won’t have trouble teaching their practical skills to the learners. Teachers must have effective objectives that can be tested and assessed to be sure that the students are mastering the tools that the teacher use to integrate technology to the learning process.
