Resumen
This paper examines the potential of interactive videodisc technology in schools, both for the use of teachers in class work, and for school‐based in‐service teacher training. The author argues that this method of teacher training is more cost‐effective than secondment and will create a more professional teaching force, thereby improving the academic, practical and innovative skills of students.
‘... the idea that you can produce by training, a knight in shining armour who, loins girded with new technology and beliefs, will assault his organisational fortress and institute changes both in himself and others at a stroke ... is ingenious. The fact of the matter is that organisations such as schools ... will, like dragons, eat hero‐innovators for breakfast.’ (The Myth of the Hero‐Innovator, Georgiades and Phillimore, 1981)
