A recent article that I
have read “Technology Integration in the Classroom” talks about the integration
of technology in the classroom and the instructive approached for technology in
the classroom. Incorporating technology in the classroom can and does help
students develop all kinds of skills, from the basic thinking skills to the
higher-order critical thinking skills. The article also gives two different
instructive approaches for teaching and learning in the classroom; directed
instruction and constructivism. Directed instruction is grounded primarily in
behaviorist learning theory and the information processing branch of the
cognitive learning theories. The constructivist instruction view is evolved
from other aspects of the cognitive learning theory. This perspective views
learners as actively engaged in making meaning, and teaching with that approach
looks for what students can analyze, investigate, share, and build based on
what they already know, rather than what facts and skills they can parrot.
