Brief Introduction

In a research-study Technology and its Impact in the Classroom conducted by Rozalind G . Muir-Herzig from Bowling Green High School in Ohio , has discussed and presented the effect of using computer technology in educating primary grade students as ineffective , and outlined the technical recommendations that could be adopted by both students and teachers to revitalize the use of computer technology in education

This will

discuss and examine Muir-Herzig 's finding through a quantitative research-study . On the other hand , a guideline for an article critique will be used in the process of determining the comprehension of the research-study

Literature review

The introductory section

The introductory section has been rendered with discussions on issues where the at-risk ' students (non-comprehensive ) are mostly concerned by teachers . Muir-Herzig implied the relevance of classroom teaching , as student-teacher interacts , hinting on the use of computer technology as far relevant . It could be interpreted in Muir-Herzig 's introductory section of her study that the bias ' on classrooms ' curriculum learning is highlighted

Based on the presented literature review (traditional vs . constructivism learning , the empirical discussions on the subject quantifies Muir-Herzig 's referencing on the observed ' situation where she rendered the theoretical values or variables . In one way or the other it only quantifies ' and observes ' the analysis between traditional and constructive ' learning . Although it may be said the variable ' was clearly identified , but , may not be concluded that Muir-Herzig have consistently defined in the final analysis , in which it still quantify the measured ' prognosis . The hypothesis could have been defined from the literature but may not be attributed to the hypothetical point of view of Muir-Herzig , as otherwise the literature could prohibit ' the flow of empirical findings , vis-a-vis the traditional and constructivism theory . What could be objectively pointed out is the statement of the problem that highlighted the hypothetical finding on traditional and constructivism , in which could be worthwhile thinking of the significance yet may not be explicitly declared as signifying ' the whole issues and could be a fragment or reflective of a systemic and societal phenomenon

The method section

The sampling of the study in Northwest Ohio High School could only be representing and identified population but may not represent the overall findings . Another findings from the 1985 grouping of Apple Classrooms for Tomorrow (ACOT ) that took 10 years of study were only cited by Muir-Herzig to support or build-up ' the theory , as quoted , results suggest that the impact of technology on education has the potential to change education in a beneficial way if done under certain circumstances (Sandholtz , et .al , 1997 in Muir-Herzig 2003 . The background of the earlier finding from Sandholtz could be a significant derivative that patterns Muir-Herzig 's research-study in Northwest Ohio High School

Muir-Herzig refers the method through the used of Teacher Technology Survey ' as developed by Rachel A Vannatta and Blanche O 'Bannon (2002 It may be noted from the...
