Abstract
Within the structure defined so far it is necessary to have fundamental ground rules which form the basis of the teaching practice being undertaken in the classroom. As has already been mentioned, it is not possible to undertake any significant change in content and approach whilst still retaining the traditional classroom method. For this reason, the following pages are devoted to two main topics — problem-solving as an element of teaching and learning technique, and the use of group-oriented learning. The emphasis in the last chapter was purely educational — setting a context in which we may see the place of technology as a classroom tool. The problem-solving and group work elements continue that trend although with some reference to their direct relevance in terms of educational philosophy. As an aside, the comments here are intended to provoke thought about the role of new technology without having it as the centre of the discussion.
