| Abstract: | Summary An attempt has been made in this paper to describe automation, both as an industrial process involving flow and control and
as an intellectual system involving planning and decision-making. General effects on education in the areas of curriculum
and program of studies, administration, general education, organization for instruction, the necessity for teaching new patterns
of thinking, vocational and technical education were discussed. The concept of the possibility of automatizing the instructional
process itself was introduced, and the outlines of a new content for education as a discipline were suggested. The following
paper will deal with the problem of automatizing instruction through audio-visual means, and the third and last paper in the
series will consider the dangers and difficulties involved in such a process.
This is the first in a series of three articles that will discuss one of the most important and timely problems that educators
face today-the effects of automation upon education. |
