| Abstract: | This article is an extention of “The Proper Study of Instructional Technology” published in ECTJ, 1984, 32, pp. 67–88, and
is best understood in that context. By considering instructional technology as a subset of technology rather than as a subset
of education, we can examine more freely the institutions of education in relation to their acceptance or rejection of the
design and implementation of technologically based instruction. Methods of institutional analysis used in other disciplines
can be helpful. For example, a method of organizational analysis developed by Charles Perrow, a sociologist, is used to maintain
that education institutions reflect a craft rather than a technology orientation. A legal anlaysis is also used to show how
the governance of education reinforces its craft nature. The analyses are intended to stimulate a line of research that uses
aspects of the institutions themselves as variables. |
