The goal of our program is to train practitioners
and researchers who are competent in conducting research in
this field and communicating effectively with learners via
various media and materials. To achieve this goal, students
are expected to learn how to develop instructional goals, to
present materials, to utilize media information, and to evaluate
these interventions or programmatic goals. Also, in a broader
sense, students are required to learn ways in which educational
materials are conveyed to those "people-in-context ." For instance,
the influences of mass media, the functions of school, family,
community, society on the youth, and their interrelationships
from the standpoint of the sociology of education are examined
in our program. |
