다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The basic question of this paper was that, Can new technologies such as computers and Internet smoothly be incorporated into the present school system, and, subsequently, improve the quality of students`` learing? To suggest an answer to this question, several works done by Larry Cuban, a professor of education, Stanford University, who devoted himself to study how teacher staught and why educational reforms failed, were carefully reviewed. According to Cuban, a series of technologies (film, radio, and instructional television)went through a cycle of exhilaration-scientific credibility-disappointment-blame and the very same cycle will be repeat ed in the case of the present new technologies (classroom computers, Internet, and multimedia in struct ion al materials ). Four reasons that prevent technologies from being used by classroom teachers were identified: Accessibility of hardware and software, problems in the process of implementing the innovation, the characteristics of the classroom and school as a work settings, and the nature of the teaching profession. In consider ation of these reasons, several suggestions to facilitate the use of computer-related technologies in classroom instruction were made.
