Te chnolo gy:
 The gradual shift towards a more student-
centered approach to learning;
 An ever widening realization that there is more
to education than teaching basic facts and
principles and that a serious attempt should be
made to cultivate the various non-cognitive
skills and attitudes that are so important for
success in later life; and
 An almost explosive increase in the use of new
information technology in practically all aspects
of education and training.

approach:
 The educator should ensure that the
implementation of new educational technology
is carefully thought through, so as to enrich the
learning process.
 The move towards more student-centered
techniques of learning will still not replace
completely the teacher institution-centered
approach but there will be a slow and steady
increase in the use of student-centered
learning within the traditional system.
