ADEA CCI White Papers : American Dental Education Association
Beyond the Crossroads A major component of the work of the ADEA Commission on Change and Innovation in Dental Education has been the development of a series of commissioned papers published in the Journal of Dental Education from 2005 to 2009; links to these papers are provided below. All 22 papers are collected in the book Beyond the Crossroads, which is available for purchase. The result is an effective strategy for academic dental institutions to consider in making own changes. Research encapsulated in Beyond the Crossroads has already provided important knowledge to various specific change efforts. For instance, it was used to develop Competences for the New General Dentist (approved by the ADEA House of Delegates April 2, 2008).
A Technology Integration Planning (TIP) Model For Teachers
Teachers are the ones that decide on instructional strategies and how to carry them out. When teachers create an instructional design for technology integration, they need to consider the characteristics of their topic and the needs of their students and then decide on a course of action that will meet both needs within the constraints of their classroom environment. When deciding on teaching/learning methods the first distinction a teacher must make is whether or not to use directed strategies or constructive strategies. After determining whether integration strategies will be primarily directed or constructive, also consider content approach.
