Description
Rapid advances in technology, an expanding non-traditional student body, and paradigm shifts are profoundly changing education. With Federal initiatives targeting ways to help students, educators feel the pressure to do more teaching with technology. However, educators may tend to adapt a piecemeal approach, without recognizing the wider implications for education as a total system. The Learning Systems Model expands and tailors a process model for teaching that identifies the interrelated components of education at the levels of individual, institution, and the wider society. In particular, elements within the model emphasize the needs of a multicultural and diverse student body, as well as the implications of utilizing technology as a tool in education. The discussion ends with specific teaching skills and techniques to help the educator adapt to the modern classroom.
