- Summary:
-
The five papers in this pre-conference reader were intended to stimulate discussion about the impact of technology on society and on education in general, and to provide some insights into the opinions of Dutch and Flemish researchers working in the field. In the first paper, "Information Technology in Education," Tjeerd Plomp addresses what learning about information technology should encompass in general compulsory education and in vocational education. The second paper, "Society and the Study of Science, Mathematics, and Technology," by Denis Kallen, discusses the complex issues involved in the development of educational policies in this area. In the third paper, "Information Technology and the Need for Schooling and In-Service Training for Teachers in Flanders," G. De Corte describes the knowledge of information technology needed by future teachers, the teaching of informatics in Flanders, the computer and teacher training in Flanders, and three types of inservice training. The fourth paper, "With the Computer as Alibi?" by J. Heene, examines changes in secondary education caused by the introduction of information technologies. In the final paper, "The Threading of a New Expertise: Teacher Training and Computer-Assisted Language Instruction (CALI)," W. Decoo provides a brief history of CALI, discusses obstacles to its introduction, and describes the elements of a CALI curriculum. Three of the five papers include reference lists. (RP)
