“…Skinner claimed that his approach was superior since it was based on recall rather than recognition. The machines appeared to be quite effective and unlike the case of previous innovations schools and teachers started to adopt these machines at high pace (Benjamin, 1988). But all of a sudden the advance of the machine halted.…”

This paper is a reflection on the history and future of educational media. Over the last century various new media technologies were introduced in education. Most of these failed to meet the high expectations. The paper reviews the rise and fall of various "revolutionary" learning media and analyses what went wrong. Three main driving factors are identified that influence the educational system: 1) educational practice, 2) educational research, and 3) educational technologies. The role and position of these factors is elaborated and critically reviewed. The paper concludes with identifying a number of relevant developments that substantiate a favourable future outlook of media for learning.

“…For example, see Samelson (1974) on Comte as the supposed first positivist, operationist, and behaviorist, Harris (1979) on Watson and Rayner's (1920) poorly conducted and reported "Little Albert" study, Buck (1990) on Benjamin (1988) on teaching machines, and Verhave (1990) on Watson's actual views regarding thinking-it was not merely subvocal speech.…”

et al. 1990

This article has two main purposes. First, it introduces the discipline of historiography and, second, it provides a selected bibliography on the history of behavior analysis. In introducing the former in the context of the latter, four important methodological considerations involved in the process and product of historiography are described: The sources from which historical materials are drawn (i.e., primary, secondary, and tertiary) and three dimensions along which historiography is conducted and evaluatedinternalist vs. externalist, great person vs. Zeitgeist, and presentist vs. historicist. Integrated throughout are four purposes for the historiography ofbehavior analysis, as well as an overview ofthe topics covered in the extant literature. The manuscript concludes with a listing of current bibliographic material by publication type and topic.

“…La instrucción directa se refiere a la didáctica empleada para la enseñanza de nuevos conceptos por medio de actividades dirigidas por el docente, quien debe verificar la comprensión de los conceptos a lo largo del proceso, y de esta manera, detectar y corregir los procedimientos o las estrategias que no han dado los resultados esperados (Baumann, 1985). Ya la instrucción automatizada, iniciada por Pressey y desarrollada por Skinner en los años cincuenta, plantea que los estudiantes pueden adquirir, de forma eficiente y autónoma, conocimientos y habilidades con la ayuda de máquinas de enseñanza (Benjamin, 1988;Moran y Malott, 2004). Por último, el sistema de instrucción personalizada, desarrollado por Keller y sus colegas en los años setenta, presenta una serie de principios que al ser aplicados pueden lograr un cambio en la conducta, para mejorar el aprendizaje de los sujetos.…”

KeywordsVirtual learning environments, bibliometric study, evidencebased in education, qualitative content analysis, information and comunication technologies. Palavras chaveAmbientes virtuais de aprendizagem, estudo bibliométrico, educação baseada na evidência, análise de conteúdo qualitativa, tecnologias da informação e a comunicação. Palabras ClaveAmbientes virtuales de aprendizaje, estudio bibliométrico, pedagogía basada en la evidencia, tecnologías de la información y la comunicación, análisis de contenido cualitativo. ResumenLa presente investigación analizó, desde la perspectiva de la pedagogía basada en la evidencia (PBE), un conjunto de estudios publicados entre 2003-2013 en el tema de los ambientes virtuales de aprendizaje (AVA) y su impacto en el campo educativo. Para realizar el estudio, se utilizó una base de datos de alcance regional. A partir de la información obtenida se realizó un análisis bibliométrico y otro de contenido cualitativo, mediante la utilización de paquetes de software especializado. De un total de 91 artículos se determinó que solo 3 de ellos presentaban resultados consistentes con los criterios de la PBE. Se evidenció que los estudios en este campo de conocimiento deben propender por la inclusión de metodologías de investigación rigurosas e instrumentos fiables y validados que permitan dar cuenta de la eficacia y eficiencia de los métodos implementados. AbstractA set of researches focused on Virtual Learning Environments and their impact on education, published between 2003-2013, was analyzed From an EvidenceBased Pedagogy perspective. To fulfil this purpose we used a regional database. Based on the information collected, a bibliometric study and a qualitative content analysis were done by means of a specialized software. From ninety one (91) papers, only three (3) of them fulfilled the Evidence-Based Pedagogy criteria. It was also found that researches in this field of knowledge require more rigorous scientific methodologies and the use of validated instruments in order to demonstrate efficiency and efficacy.
