Given Paper 1:
‘Working System: Development of a system model of technology integration to inform
learning task design
Question In your lectures, four rationales for organizational analysis are
described.
1 Critically discuss the argument presented by the author(s).
The authors of the article, Howard et al., presented their argument through
the use of an ICT model. These authors state in their discussion that despite the
increasing range of sustainability and development, many sectors within the
society still take a long time to embrace change thus student and teacher factors
affect the integration of ICT into the system of education.
Citing Jones and Thompson (2014), the authors argue that integration of
the ICT system into the education system was negatively perceived and delayed
based on the fact that the previous model was only conceptualized at the design
artifact level without the consideration of three primary standards such as learners
preference, resource component level and the level of learners engagement and
the perception of the ICT system. The article authors in the attempt to present their
justification as to why it has been challenging to integrate the ICT system into the
educational system without the consideration of learners employ richer and more
nuanced theoretical lenses.
In the argument, the authors state that for the educational system to adopt

and effectively integrate ICT into the education system, teachers must consider
learners preferences, the frequency of ICT as well as learners computer ability and
ICT engagement. And in the attempt to justify their argument, the authors used
real-life scenarios and three sources to affirm their case.
2 What is the method - how does the author(s) convince their readers?
The authors employed a diversified approach in the attempt of convincing
the readers of their article. The authors first designed an online task that enabled
them to assess the three major components of ICT integration where learners who
are the critical study subjects were allowed to undertake the task, and their
activities analyzed based on the designed artifact. The data relied on by authors
included frequency of ICT use by the leaners, computer efficacy of the learners,
learners ICT preference, and ICT engagements.
To attain the response and facts regarding the sty question, the authors
used the data which was obtained by the Australian Digital Education Revolution
initiative. The authors used the data set from questionnaire B data from the year
201 2, which was given to both teachers and students. And the obtained data tested
the relationship between learning and technology and was assigned completed by
approximately 45% of learners in NSW.
The authors used an efficient data analysis procedure which was conducted
in three significant faces: (one) generation of factors, (two) Fuzzy set creation and
(three) setting mining association rules. The authors then based on the Fuzzy

representation, used association analysis to identify the existing patterns and
relationships between antecedents and the consequences. The authors, based on
the results from their analysis, used theoretical lenses to justify their school
thought. Nonetheless, the study conclusions as derived from the results is open for
challenge and improvement.
3 Drawing on your answers from analysing Q (1) and (2), critically
analyze and match your analysis to the rationale given in Lecture 1 for
Organisational Analysis
Neohumanist paradigm:
Concerning my understanding of the four perspectives of Burrell and
Morgan, the authors of the analysis of various factors involved in the ICT
integration into the education system can be based be best explained through the
neohumanist perspective. This paradigm tends to investigate radical changes, its
potentiality, and emancipation. This rational also focus on teaching the effect or
roles played by different forces within the organization in understanding change.
Since the whole article is focused on understanding various factors that hinder and
determine ICT integration into the education system and seeks to create a useful
model of ICT integration, the content matches the neohumanist paradigm which
also aims to investigate the potentiality of a radical change as well as its
detrimental effects to the society.
