Increasing Use of Technology & Communication
This is an excerpt from the paper...
There has been increasing interest in the way that technology and communication affect environments at home, at school, and at work. In fact, the psychological and sociological factors involving the quality of the work and educational environment impact significantly on the demands placed on students, administrators, and teachers in the school systems, and on workers and managers in the corporate world. Psychologists tell us that there is a unifying theme between the qualitative aspects in both environments called the hierarchical cognitive paradigm. Within this model, the organizational and perceptual well being of the individual must be balanced between the demands placed upon them by their environment. Results of research studies show that, in fact, there is a significant amount of stress placed upon the individual directly due to the quality of the work environment, and in particular the way the individual believes that communication is handled (Repetti, 1987).Other research substantiates these claims, and also points out that there are many effects in reconceptualizing the links between home and work in urban geography. Using the tools of the sociologist, anthropologist, and psychologist, it was found that the basal levels of stress could be significantly lowered in the workplace simply by using measures that would increase communication between workers and between workers and management. These measures included new and innovative ways of placing office space, t

o compile secondary materials based on library research. Many of these materials are listed in the current bibliography, and resulted from such diverse subject headings as "Work environment," "School environment," "Classroom activities," "Perceptions of work and school," and "Technology in the workplace and school." After the secondary materials are compiled, use of on line database information will result in primary research studies being identified and viewed. In this case, Psychological Abstracts, Sociological Abstracts, ERIC (Educational Resources Information Center), and ABI/Inform (Abstracts in Business Information) compilations were consulted to find the most current research on business and school environments.
The bulk of the study, however, will come from interviews and questionnaires given to focus groups of business professionals, factory workers, school administrators, teachers, and selected students. The study will be statistically viable, in that it will use standard demographic techniques to identify appropriate age, occupation, and geographic distributions.
After the information is collected, it will be statistically quantified, run through standard tests of deviation and T testing, and then compared to prev
