The quest for the most effective technology-based instructional model : the operational definition of technology enhanced instruction Farenholtz, Aubry Gustave
Abstract
Educators need access to a technology-based instructional model that provides opportunities for students to develop an expanded set of skills, accommodates students' unique learning styles and rates, and which allows teachers flexibility in adapting the model to their own instructional styles. The thesis presents a concise operational definition of Technology Enhancement as it applies to instruction in secondary school classrooms. The definition of Technology Enhancement then forms the basis for developing criteria that can be used to establish and evaluate Technology Enhanced Instruction (TEI) programs in secondary schools. These criteria will also enable educators to ensure the longevity and continuity of the program in their schools, thus maximizing the educational benefits afforded by technology, while minimizing the potential capital costs. Technology will continue to pervade all aspects of educational institutions; educators are faced with the challenge of making effective use of technology and helping students to develop life-long learning skills without discarding established, effective educational strategies.

Educators need access to a technology-based instructional model that provides opportunities for
students to develop an expanded set of skills, accommodates students' unique learning styles and
rates, and which allows teachers flexibility in adapting the model to their own instructional
styles. The thesis presents a concise operational definition of Technology Enhancement as it
applies to instruction in secondary school classrooms. The definition of Technology
Enhancement then forms the basis for developing criteria that can be used to establish and
evaluate Technology Enhanced Instruction (TEI) programs in secondary schools. These criteria
will also enable educators to ensure the longevity and continuity of the program in their schools,
thus maximizing the educational benefits afforded by technology, while minimizing the
potential capital costs. Technology will continue to pervade all aspects of educational
institutions; educators are faced with the challenge of making effective use of technology and
helping students to develop life-long learning skills without discarding established, effective
educational strategies.
