Enhancing Self-Directed Learning through Educational Technology: When Students Resist the Change.
Akerlind, Gerlese S.; Trevitt, A. Chris
Innovations in Education and Training International, v36 n2 p96-105 May 1999
Discusses why the introduction of new technologies (or other educational innovations) as a means to greater learner autonomy is likely to produce some student resistance. Considers factors involved in determining the strength of resistance, and ways teachers can assist students to recognize and overcome associated problems. Presents the authors' experiences with the introduction of a problem-based, computer-facilitated course into a traditional curriculum. (AEF)
