Methodic quest: Reinventing the system

Abstract

This article is an attempt to rethink the concepts of "methodic"and "methodologic / methodical system"as basic to educational technology. What should be the structure of a methodical system? What is primary-the methodical system or the methodology? How are methodical systems created and developed? How do educational technology and a methodical system relate? How does changing the components of a system make it emergent? These and other issues are explored through the development of a new class of teaching methods-computer-based training systems.
