ROOTS OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY
Edward Thorndike (1874-1949)
- a student of psychologist William James at Harvard
he tested the psychological theories of the day using the empirical method and came up with his theory of “connectionism”
reward or punishment, success or failure, satisfaction or annoyance ff. an action did more to strengthen or weaken associations
He began to take into account the ideas of motivation, incentive, and environment as they influence learning
He proposed the “Theory of Instruction”
He felt teachers should reward learners’ expressions of desirable connections and create discomfort for expressions of undesirable connections
FIVE PRINCIPLES OF TEACHING AND LEARNING 1. Self – Activity 2. Interest 3. Preparation or Mental set 4. Instruction should be individualized 5. Socialization
His emphasis on Individualized Instruction and Self- activity
20th century – programmed instruction movement and the work of the behaviorists ( B.F. Skinner )
INDUSTRIAL MODEL OF EDUCATION - during 1800s - large classrooms w/ blackboards
At the end of the century - Individual Laboratory Activities
Early 20th CenturyUnder the influenced of Thorndike & Dewey- interest grew in Individualized Instruction
PRINCIPLE CHARACTERISTICS OF INDIVIDUALIZED INSTRUCTION 1. students could learn and advance at their own rate with a minimum of teacher direction
2. Self-instruction materials produced and distributed on a mass scale, took the place of teacher-centered instructions
VISUAL EDUCATION the movement began in the adult education of the late 19th century
It was consistent with the conceptual change models of Thorndike, Dewey, and Montessori
Proponents of visual education classified instructional experiences in terms of their degree of concreteness or abstraction
More concrete experiences included contrived activities ( such as laboratory experiments) , demonstrations, field trips, exhibits, motion pictures, stereographs, still pictures, and visual symbols
