Dynamic Conservatism of Learning Systems: Computerized Learning Environments for Conserving School Culture

摘要

This paper suggests, that in context of the process of curriculum planning as carried out today in many schools in Israel, learning with computers leads to limited use of the potential of computers and minimal changes in schools' organizational culture. The reason for the confined use of computers, the paper points out, is that computer use is designed to match a conception of learning as content knowledge-gaining on which the experience of schooling is based, and the organizational setup of curricular planning and teaching designed to support it.
