Theme 6: Reading Two

Wasseerman, E. & Millgram, Y. (2005). Changes in the approaches of teachers following computerization of schools. Journal of Educational Computing Research, 33(3), p249-267.

Many researchers stress that the most significant variable for the success of the computer is the teacher’s approach toward the change. As middlemen, they are required to carry the change, and it is their responsibility to integrate the computer into their regular instruction. In order to carry this task, they must go through a process, which includes learning, internalization, and application. It should be emphasized that the teachers point to a change in the “diversification of teaching methods” and not “a change in teaching methods”.
