The Age Old Battle

In Gentry (1995) the author attempts to differentiate between education, instruction, training and educational technology, instructional technology, etc. I think the name is not so important as what the learner can do at the end of the learning, er, I mean instruction, no - education!  It does appear that the framework for much of what we do today involves technology. And since, ...bevavioral science is to technology as physical sciences are to enginering," the theories, the processes and systems are what is important to the designer "...all human actvities apply the findings of behavioral research to the probem of instuction."(Finn)
