ABSTRACT

Computer education was an integral part of curriculum development and a priority of the OECD’s policy agenda at the turn of the 1970s. Based on an analysis of archival documents, programme overviews and publications, this article describes how the introduction of computers in the classroom was advocated by the OECD and, more specifically, how this fostered the creation of an arena for the production of knowledge. The article sheds light on the OECD as an arena for the pooling and channelling of ideas relating to the uses of school computers. It, therefore, not only fills a gap in the history of educational technology, but also demonstrates how knowledge was catalysed and disseminated by this international governmental organisation. Furthermore, the study analyses an attempt to intervene in national policy-making that was withdrawn before it was implemented.

摘要

计算机教育是课程开发不可或缺的一部分，并且是1970年代初经合组织政策议程的优先事项。在对档案文件，程序概述和出版物进行分析的基础上，本文描述了经合组织如何倡导在教室中引入计算机，更具体地讲，这如何促进了创造知识生产的舞台。这篇文章阐明了经合组织作为汇集和传播与学校计算机使用有关的思想的舞台。因此，它不仅填补了教育技术史上的空白，而且表明了这个国际政府组织如何促进和传播知识。此外，
