Some universities deliver technology through immersion across courses, while others rely on interim instruction until faculty can integrate tools into methodology classes.

23,1985  \nVol.13,No.142  \n# COLLEGES PAVE DIFFERENT ROUTES TO COMPUTER LITERACY FOR TEACHERS\n\nWhen school doors open next fall,undergraduate education majors will be shar-ing a syllabus with many elementary and secondary school students when it comesto one subject:computer literacy.  \nFollowing five paces behind the nation's large school districts,universitiesare slowly instituting steps to turn out computer-literate teachers,say ex-perts.But the approach,enforcement and emphases of computer literacy are asvaried for teacher trainees as they are for seventh graders.  \n\"School districts spearheaded the [instructional computing]movement,anduniversities are being dragged into it kicking and screaming,\"said AlanHofmeister,a special education professor at Utah State University and directorof the school's artificial intelligence research and development unit.  \nHofmeister maintains that much of what is taught in computer literacy classesfor education majors \"could be taught comfortably to junior high school stu-dents.Even at fairly progressive schools,nobody is happy with the degree towhich computers are integrated into the subject matter”in teaching programs.  \nStates Set Tone       While few schools make computer literacy an absolute re-quirement,most strongly recommend that education majors master computer bas-ics.Because curricula at most education colleges are tied to state teachercertification regulations,it is not surprising that state routes to computerliteracy for elementary and secondary students set the tone for college re-quirements for prospective teachers.  \nUtah State University,the University of Texas at Austin and Florida StateUniversity,located in states with computer literacy requirements for ele-mentary and secondary school students,all insist on computer training forundergraduate education majors.  \nAt Utah State,teacher trainees must complete 20 to 30 hours of a lecturecourse on computers in the classroom and 30 to 40 hours more in computer labs.The University of Texas at Austin requires that all education majors take aneducational media course with a segment on computer basics,while Florida Statemandates a one-credit\"familiarization\"course on classroom computing.  \nNext fall,University of Alabama education students must take a three-creditcomputer literacy course and may substitute an additional advanced computercourse for their foreign language requirement.College of education DeanRodney Roth says this is not a formal attempt to phase foreign language out ofteacher training,but he concedes 85 percent to 90 percent of education stu-dents will opt for computer courses.(more)  \n      July 23,1985  \n# COLLEGES PAVE DIFFERENT ROUTES TO COMPUTER LITERACY FOR TEACHERS(Cont.)\n\nRoth said college of education faculty feel\"foreign languages are no longer anappropriate tool for a professional school,\"and say substituting computercourses makes sense because\"computer science is a foreign language.\"  \nGeorge Mason University education majors must take a three-credit course oncomputers in school math largely because associate education professor JudithJacobs “took an interest”in starting the course and \"was willing to do it.\"  \nOfficials at many institutions with no computer requirements noted that ad-visers strongly encourage education majors to take computer literacy coursesand that such offerings typically draw standing-room-only crowds.  \nUniversity of Connecticut's three one-credit computer literacy modules are\"atcapacity in terms of the number of people we can fit in the lab,\"said JudithMaegher,head of curriculum and instruction for the school of education.Thespace shortage could be a problem if the modules become mandatory fare foreducation majors under proposed new state certification requirements.  \nWhile many schools are formulating computer literacy policies for teachertrainees,a few say such measures are superfluous and are phasing them out.  \nTrial By ImmersionThe University of Michigan's school of ","cbCaikjoRBKAZoQg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikjoRBKAZoQg","pdf",1831215,"English","# COLLEGES PAVE DIFFERENT ROUTES TO COMPUTER
