Technology and the Politics of Instruction
Autor Jan Nesporen Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 aug 2006
Technology and the Politics of Instruction is distinctive in its multi-level approach and in the breadth of its conceptual frame. Departing from the mainstream research on instructional technology to focus on mundane and widespread forms of CMI—PowerPoint slides, CD-ROMs, self-paced labs, and the like—Nespor views these from multiple standpoints, not just what they mean for professors, but also for administrators and students. The effect is to displace the typical emphasis in CMI research from cutting-edge, high resource artifacts and systems (the importance of which is not questioned) to the politics and organizational processes that shape the uses of such things.
This book is intended primarily for scholars and students in the fields of educational and more broadly organizational change, the politics and sociology of education, curriculum theory, higher education, and educational administration, and will also interest instructional technologists and technology developers.

Recenzii
“At last! A scholarly, research-based book that refuses to make vacuous claims about the benefits of computer-mediated instruction in university settings.... It is clearly hallmarked for becoming a classic, touchstone text within a range of fields concerned with instruction and new technologies.”
—Michele Knobel
Montclair State University
“This is a wonderful book.... The case study of the growth of computer-mediated instruction at one university is quite comprehensive in describing the many political, practical, sociological, and educational factors that played a role.... The excerpts from administrators, faculty, and students are powerful. [Nespor’s] analysis is very thought provoking.”

Descriere
This study of computer-mediated instruction (CMI) in a U.S. research university – the site of nationally known innovations in this area – ties together a range of issues usually separated in discussions of instructional technology and examines soften slighted topics, such as the articulations of local and national practices. It questions the common vocabulary for making sense of CMI and contributes to educational change theory by showing how CMI has unfolded both from the top-down and the bottom-up.
