theory that technology development will rapid increase and double every year. (Mann, 2000) Gordon’s theory of the rapid technology development would later become popularly known as Moore’s Law and be widely accepted by many in the technology world. (Schaller, 1997) With Moore’s law as context, the world that our students live in continues to modernize and evolve at a rapid pace. (Lytle, 2012; Heick, 2012) To keep up with innovation, we tend to find a revolving door of new educational technology…

Higher Learning and Learners Curriculum Curriculum at institutions of higher education during the colonial period in America (1636-1789) focused on utilitarian subjects such as the Classics (like Latin), rhetoric, and math (Marsden, 1994). These same subjects continued into the antebellum period (1789-1861). While the Yale Report defended the classical curriculum of Greek, Latin, and math, many colleges (especially women’s colleges) preferred to emphasize English and modern languages.…

Do scientists need the Scientific Method to perform a meaningful experiment? It is undeniable that the best way to solve a problem in science is through a series of steps that lead to the solution. Since early stages in the development of Science, scientists have had the need of following certain steps in order to solve problems they were curious about to research. According to historians, Isaac Newton was the first researcher to complete the early process of the scientific method. (Yahoo…

privately funded study led to a rise in research by intellects at institutions. Two physicists, Ernest and John Lawrence both acknowledged the recent progressions that had taken place in the private sector of nuclear medicine. Introducing the private industry to nuclear medicine, the Berkley physicists understood the potential that advancements in the study presented in medicine for treating cancer and thyroid disease. Ernest and John Lawrence’s experiments would go on to change both science and…

(Haythornthwaite, 2007). We live in a generation where students want to learn more information on subjects given in school, but sometimes teachers are not able to answer questions because of the rules given by the Department of Education. By allowing technology in schools we are giving children the opportunity to grow and become independent (Gooden, 2006). For example, in the Encyclopedia of Educational Leadership and Administration, Gooden explained that “No longer are students…

continue on in advances with technology, our schools should be providing classes that will keep our nation’s students up to date. Offering these computer science classes to all students as early as kindergarten should be encouraged, because the schools best interest is within what skill sets our children will need for future use. “Our civilization is experiencing unprecedented changes across many realms, largely due to the rapid advancement of information technology. The ability to code and…

(William Wundt) A majority of people believe that psychology is not a science. However, Merriam Webster defines psychology as, “the science or study of the mind and behavior”. In agreement with Merriam Webster, psychology should be considered a field of science due to the fact that it uses scientific reasoning to come up with theories, collect huge amounts of data, and relies on physiology to study human reasoning. In addition, all sciences have a foundation of empiricism. Empiricism is the idea…
