Conditioned Pupil Disposition, Autonomy, and Effective Use of ICT in Science Classrooms.

Rodrigues, Susan

Educational Forum, v67 n3 p266-75 Spr 2003

Data from three projects (a CD-ROM of the periodic table, video animation on CD ROM, and data loggers) show how conditioned dispositions affect information/communications technology use. The projects demonstrate how students have been conditioned to work mindlessly in science classrooms, following the path of least cognitive demand and avoiding risk taking and inquiry.
