• W274386718 abstract "I am Good With Computers ... Won't I be Successful? Preparing children for the world of is a big concern in schools today, spawning national programs and efforts with such names and themes as teaching across the curriculum, cross-content education, and to work now in progress in many states. All this activity is motivated by business and industry needing more analytical and broad-thinking employees--who are not just good with computers, but who know how to think in a multi-dimensional manner. This means being able to integrate the information and knowledge from many subjects together while solving problems. Being good with a computer and able to move things around on a CRT screen with ease is an important skill, but not the skill that will guarantee success in the Information Age economy. One must be able to use the higher order thinking and integrative skills. This is absolutely necessary, and a very strong warning for those school leaders who believe that a computer lab is the quick and popular answer to preparing children for the future. For computers to be fully effective in the workplace, they must be integrated into all aspects of the job. In my company I don't do computer-related in a computer lab. The computer is the first thing I turn on at my desk in the morning and the last thing I turn off when I go home. From this magic box, I extract all sorts of corporate and outside information and do my best to create new and valuable information and knowledge for my company to make into products and services that will generate profits, improve performance, and please investors and stockholders. Computers are simply portals to the world of data and information. What people do, and can do, with the data/information once it is accessed is the critical measure. The function of all workers is to convert that computer-accessed data/information into knowledge that the company can use to advantage in the marketplace. Knowledge is a competitive weapon. Data and information are converted into knowledge through human action, the application of human intellect--specifically the higher order thinking and integrative skills. Many excellent workers today function without the extensive use of computers at all. Yes, they may not be as quick as their colleagues or as fancy, but they do superb work. And, if necessary, older workers have shown an amazing ability to learn how to use computers. Thirty-two years ago when I first started working, there were no personal computers. I was hired for my ability to think, create, and enrich my company. Today, I happen to use a computer as another tool to accomplish those goals, but I am still measured by my ability to think, create, and enrich. My annual performance review paperwork has never asked if I have computer skills or how good they are--only how well I solve problems, and am able to generate new products and services for the company. The computer helped me achieve my goals faster and probably more efficiently, but it did not make the crucial difference. As someone who has been involved in the hiring of workers, I always look first for the integrative skills and the kinds of projects people have handled in previous jobs. This is of primary importance and is the key indicator of ability to function well in an information-rich environment. Computer skills can always be learned if necessary, but if the integrative skills are missing, this is a far more serious problem. Fancy spreadsheets are nice and so are cute little cut-art presentations. However, I and most of my colleagues are more interested in the horsepower under the hood--how well can prospective employees handle multiple aspects of a problem and blend those considerations together. How do they think multi-dimensionally? The Technology Education Connection The traditional school model is now about 125 years old, and like the outdated industrial mass production model it continues to mimic, jobs were highly specific. …" @default.
