Title

Technology'S Impact: Symbiotic Or Asymbiotic Impact On Differing Cultures?

Abstract

Over the past three years or more, the authors have been examining the impact of technology interventions on students and teachers–from cultures where English is a second language. It is their hypothesis that students and teachers from non-English speaking nations suffer severe disadvantages when technological interventions are superimposed on existing traditional pedagogical models. This paper is the latest in a series that examines extent pedagogies, primarily in Asia, and the pressures of having to re-conceptualize what has been a tradition for centuries. It traces significant educational origins to their cultural roots and examines contemporary initiatives that, if implemented, may well disrupt. It offers possible solutions that, if approached with reconciliation as its focus, might offset catastrophic results and, in fact, achieve pedagogical symbiosis. © 2003, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
