What
Kind of Instructional Theory Do We Need for Instructional Technology in the 21st
Century?
Abstract
Emerging new technologies in
computer science, telecommunication or education offer a wide range of
challenges to instructional technology in science and practice. Nonetheless, an
integrated scientific view in form of an instructional theory for instructional
technology in the 21st Century is still lacking. The authors propose a general
theoretical framework to guide development of an instructional theory.
Schott et al describe their
theoretical framework as serving as a basis for instructional design and
evaluation procedures. They present a theoretical framework, called UCIT (Universal
Constructive Instructional Theory.
Taking UCIT as a starting point, they develop theory (UCIT) and practical
oriented procedures for the design and evaluation of instruction.
