  • A Systems Approach to the Planning and Formulation of Technology Augmented Programs for Management Education. Burke, Thomas Edward Administrator Education Bibliographies Computer Assisted Instruction Computers Curriculum Development Cybernetics Doctoral Dissertations Experimental Programs Measurement Instruments Models Program Evaluation Simulation Systems Approach Teaching Methods A management education planning approach called Computer-Assisted Subject Area (CASA) has been conceptualized as a framework for viewing, evaluating, and recording efforts to improve the effectiveness of a subject area to be integrated within an overall curriculum. CASA is a generalized set of models which feature a hierarchy of activities in developing a subject area; an organizational library structure, or information repository, for noting and updating findings and working criteria for use in curriculum planning; and a network of cybernetic representation to highlight dynamic interrelationships between various human and machine elements germane to a professor's subject area. Use of CASA is illustrated in planning a series of programs to give practicing managers a broad but concise introduction to computer technology. Eleven teaching/learning modules were developed, with attention to features and limitations of classroom lectures, films, computer simulations, panel discussions, and other methods and media. Two experimental computer programs (Leisure and Architect/Client) led to the conclusion that a professor untrained in computer use could, in association with regular classroom duties, gain a basic understanding of computer augmented teaching.
