THE TEACHING RESEARCH AUTOMATED CLASSROOM (TRAC): A FACILITY FOR INNOVATIVE CHANGE

Pages 316-323 | Published online: 09 Jul 2006
 

Abstract

The Teaching Research Automated Classroom (TRAC) is a facility designed to promote the study and implementation of innovative change. It was designed on the premise that one key to the facilitation of change is having teachers observe, as well as use, a new technique or medium in an actual learning environment to prove that “it really works.” Several facility types result from the versatile use of space: a medium‐group room seating thirty; a rear‐projection area which is used for displaying multiple images to the thirty‐seat room, and which accommodates nine individual study carrels; and a large filming studio. This combination of areas allows for group instruction, independent study, research, demonstration and dissemination, filming and video‐taping, and for practice in the use of the newer media and teaching techniques.
