Strand 3The Nature of Work: Business and Corporate Philosophies

Strand 4Theories of learning and education

During the agricultural age, children of various ages were all taught in the same one room school house by one teacher.

During the industrial age, children spent longer hours in school and were grouped according to their ages .

During the information age, teachers are able to use more modern technology when implementing lessons. Children also have more hands on use of technology by using computers, CDroms, and the internet.

During the fourth wave, there will be more virtual learning. The learner will be more self directed and the teacher will serve as a facilitator.

Strand 5Society and Culture

During this age, society depended on the raising of crops and livestock.

During this age, a families status was determined by their class and race.

During this age, suburban communities expanded. Both parents worked or most household consist of a one parent household.
