註釋General background information on microtechnologies with implications for educators provides an introduction to this review of past and current developments in microelectronics and specific ways in which the microchip is permeating society, creating problems and opportunities both in the workplace and the home. Topics discussed in the first of two major sections of this report include educational and industrial impacts of the computer and peripheral equipment, with particular attention to the use of computers in educational institutions and in an information society; the use of robotics, a technology now being used in more than 2,000 schools and 1,200 colleges; the growing power of the media, particularly television; and the importance of educating young learners to cope with sex, violence, and bias in the media. The second section addresses issues created by microtechnologies since the first computer made its debut in 1946; redesigning the American educational system for a high-tech society; and developing curriculum appropriate for the microelectronic age, including computer applications and changes at all levels from early childhood education to programs for mature learners. Appended are a 91-item selected bibliography and digests of 18 education reform reports published from 1983 through 1986. (MES)
