Instructional Technology - North Carolina A & T State University

Instructional Technology from North Carolina A & T State University is a Campus Master Educational Technology degree that prepares you for a Education career. Graduate Program in Instructional Technology The following are the broad goals of the program: Global Education The context of teaching and learning has become as large, rich, and complex as life itself. From a narrow and confined ?school room? with walls that defined teaching, learning, and the curriculum, we now have the world?s social, political, economic, commercial, and cultural forces define teaching, learning, and the curriculum. In order to truly prepare young people for this ever-changing, dynamic, and challenging world, we have to engage in an educational process that is fluid yet focused on critical issues that call for change, traditional yet transformative, and enables making a living as well as a life. Holistic Education The graduate program in Instructional Technology at North Carolina A&T State University?s School of Education is committed to designing and offering a process that honors the need today to ?fit? individuals interested in teaching and learning with an array of philosophical, multicultural, pedagogical, and technological tools. Such a preparation nurtures the essential qualities in individuals to excel, and to bring about the needed change in their own contexts of teaching and learning. Critical and Relevant Education Education influences human behavior, but it?s through a complex process of value-building, thinking, analysis, and integrating body, mind, and spirit. Our program is a response to a growing need in the world to bring together disparate fragments of education and infuse them with the elements of value from all learners and their historical, social, political, and economic realities. This effort translates to a focus on tools that enable transparency on multiple ways of knowing, problem-solving, teaching, connecting communities, and evaluating. The ultimate goal is to enable candidates in our program to identify critical issues and needs in the context of their work, master a deep and truthful understanding of each of their own learners and their needs, define goals and objectives for their work, design instruction tied to the above, and engage in a reflective and evaluative process about the outcomes of their efforts.
