EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY

EDUCATION

Education is derived from the Latin word “educare” or “educere” which means
to lead forth. It is defined as the process of acquiring knowledge habits, attitudes,
interest, skills and abilities and other intangible human qualities through training
instructions and self-activity, and transmitting these vital elements of human
civilization to posterity.

TECHNOLOGY
Technology can refer to material objects of use to humanity, such as machines
or hardware, but it can also encompass broader themes, including systems, methods
of organization, and techniques. Some modern tools include but are not limited to
overhead projectors , laptop computers, and calculators. Newer tools such as
“smartphones” and games (both online and offline) are beginning to draw serious
attention for their learning potential.

EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY
Educational technology is the study and ethical practice of facilitating learning
and improving performance by creating, using and managing appropriate
technological processes and resources. The term educational technology is often
associated with, and encompasses, instructional theory and learning theory. While
instructional technology covers the processes and systems of learning and instruction,
educational technology includes other systems used in the process of developing
human capability. Educational technology includes, but is not limited to, software,
hardware as well as Internet applications and activities. Educational technology is
simply defined as an array of tools that might prove helpful in advancing student
learning. Educational technology relies on a broad definition of the word “technology”.
(www.wikipedia.org)
Educational technology is designed to introduce both the traditional and
innovative technologies to facilitate and foster meaningful and effective learning.
Students are expected to demonstrate a sound understanding of the nature,
application and production of the various types of educational technologies. The
course will likewise focus both on developing teacher support materials and the
production of technology-based student outputs.

THEORIES
There are three main schools of thought or philosophical frameworks behind
educational technology. These are Behaviorism, Cognitivism and Constructivism.

Behaviorism
This theoretical framework was developed in the early 20 th century with the
animal learning experiments of Ivan Pavlov, Edward Thorndike, Edward C. Tolman,
Clark L. Hull, B.F. Skinner and others. Many psychologies used these theories to
describe and experiment with human learning. While still very useful this philosophy
of learning has lost favor with many educators.

Skinner’s Contribution
B.F. Skinner wrote extensively on improvements of teaching based on his
functional analysis of Verbal Behavior, and wrote “The Technology of Teaching”, an
attempt to dispel the myths underlying contemporary education, as well as promote
his system he called programmed instruction. Ogden Lindsley also developed the
Celeration learning system similarly based on behavior analysis but quite different
from Keller’s and Skinner’s model.

Cognitivism
Cognitive science has changed how educators view learning. Since the very
early beginning of the Cognitive Revolution of the 1960s and 1970s, learning theory
has undergone a great deal of change. Much of the empirical framework of
Behaviorism was retained even though a new paradigm had begun. Cognitive theories
look beyond behavior to explain brain-based learning. Cognitivists consider how
human memory works to promote learning.
After memory like the Atkinson-Shiffrin memory model and Baddeley’s Working
memory model were established as a theoretical framework in Cognitive Psychology,
new cognitive frameworks of learning begun to emerge during the 1970s, 80s and 90s.
It is important to note that Computer Science and Information Technology have had a
major influence on Cognitive Science theory. The cognitive concepts of working
memory (formerly known as short term memory) and long term memory have been
facilitated by research and technology from the field of Computer Science. Another are
concentrating on topics like Cognitive load and Information Processing Theory.

Constructivism
Constructivism is a learning theory or educational philosophy that many
educators began to consider in the 1990s. One of the primary tenets of this philosophy
is that learners construct their own meaning for new information, as they interact with
reality or others with different perspectives.
Constructivist learning environments require students to utilize their prior
knowledge and experiences to formulate new, related, and /or adaptive concepts in
learning. Under this framework the role of the teacher becomes that of the facilitator,
providing guidance so that learners can construct their own knowledge. Conctructivist
educators must make sure that the prior learning experiences are appropriate and
related to the concepts being taught. Jonassen (1997) suggests “well-structured”
learning environments are useful for novice learners and that “ill-structured” learning
environments are only useful for more advanced learners. Educators utilizing
technology when teaching with a constructivist perspective should choose technologies
that reinforce prior learning perhaps in a problem-solving environment.

Connectivism
Connectivism is a “learning theory for the digital age,” and has been developed
by George Siemens and Stephen Downes based on theory analysis of the limitations of
behaviorism, cognitivism and constructivism to explain the effect technology has had
on Editor of the International Journal of Instructional Technology and Distance
Learning says the theory “combines relevant elements of many learning theories,
social structures and technology to create a powerful theoretical construct for learning
in the digital age.” (www.wikipedia.org)

USE OF AUDIOVISUAL AIDS


John Amos Comenius (1592-1670) wrote Orbis Pictus Sensualium or the World
of Sensible Things Pictured, a book which is considered as the first book on the use of
visual aids in classroom Teaching.
Audiovisual aids are defined as any device used to aid in the communication of
an idea. As such, virtually anything can be used as an audio visual aid provided it
successfully communicates the idea or information for which it is designed. An
audiovisual aid includes still photography, motion picture, audio or video tape, slide or
filmstrip, that is prepare individually or in combination to communicate information or
to elicit a desired audience response.
Even though in early aids, such as maps and drawings, are still in use,
advances in the audiovisual field have open up new methods of presenting these aids,
such as video tapes and multimedia equipment which allow more professional and
entertaining presentations not only in the classrooms but also anywhere in which
ideas are to be conveyed to the audience.

DEVICE
Device is any means other than the subject-matter itself that is employed by the
teacher in presenting the subject matter to the learner.

Purpose of Visual Devices


1. To challenge students’ attention
2. To stimulate the imagination and evelop the mental imagery of the pupils
3. To facilitate the understanding of the pupils
4. To provide motivation to the learners
5. To develop the ability to listen

Traditional Forms of Visual Aids


1. Demonstration
2. Fieldtrips
3. Laboratory experiments
4. Pictures, films, simulations, models
5. Real objects

Classifications of Devices
1. Extrinsic – used to supplement a method used
Ex. picture, graph, film strips, slides etc.
2. Intrinsic – used as the part of the method or teaching procedure
Ex. pictures accompanying an article
3. Material devices – device that have no bearing on the subject matter
Ex. blackboard, chalk, books, pencils, etc.
4. Mental Devices – a kind of device that is related in form and meaning to the
subject matter being presented
Ex. questions, projects, drills, lesson plans etc.

THE USE OF TECHONOLOGY IN THE CLASSROOM


In the advent of modern technology, computers are common classroom
equipment and aid to teaching learning process. Aside from computers, there are still
other learning tools and audio – visual aids that the students can utilize in order to
facilitate learning. These may include digital cameras, video cameras, interactive
whiteboard tools, and LCD projectors.

Computers
Having a computer in the classroom is an asset to any teacher. With the
computer in the classroom, teachers are able to demonstrate a new lesson, present
new material, illustrate how to use new programs, and show new websites.

Class Website
What better way to display student’s work, than to create a web page designed
just for your class. Once a web page is designed, teachers can post homework
assignments, student work, famous quotes, trivia games, and so much more. In
current day society, children know how to use computer and navigate their way
through a website, so why not give them one where they can be a published author.
Just be careful as most districts maintain strong policies to mange official websites for
a school or classroom.
Class Blogs
These are some of a variety of Web 2.0 tools that are currently being
implemented in the classroom. Blogs allow for students to maintain a running
dialogue, like a journal of thoughts, ideas, and assignments that also provide for
student comment and reiterative reflection. Wikis are more group focused to allow
multiple members of the group to edit a single document and create a truly
collaborative and carefully edited finished product.
Wireless Classroom Microphones
Noisy classrooms are a daily occurrence, and with the help of microphones,
students are able to hear the their teacher clearer. Children learn better when they
hear the teacher clearly. The benefit for teachers is that they no longer lose their
voices at the end of the day. (www.wikipedia.org)

 It should be noted that the field is not merely concerned with learning technical
skill nor the simplistic use of technology for technology’s sake in teaching, s
common misperception by non-educators.
 As a field, educational technology emphasizes communication skills and
approaches to teaching and learning through the judicious use and integration
of diverse media.

Information Technology, Information Communications Technology and E-


Learning
 Information Technology refers to the lowest level of environment in the use of
computer technology.
 Information Communications Technology – equipment is networked together
allowing communication with others on the network and in the outside world
via e-mail and the internet.
 E-learning is the application of Information Technology and Information
Communications Technology to the core business of education. E-learning is
characterized by the use of ICT to deliver learning experiences and may extend
to on-line guidance, assessment and recording of progress.

Roles of Information Technology In Education


As modern devices like table computers, laptops and PDAs develop more of a presence
in our school system, it becomes more important for educators, students and parents
to understand the role of information technology in education today.

New technology is not only a subject in and of itself, but can be applied to any subject,
enhancing the learning experience and equipping students to join an increasingly
global workforce.

 Accessibility
 Mobile device that utilize information and communication technology
give students and teachers more sources of information, which makes
learning nearly anything more accessible.
 By connecting to the information and people to the internet, students
can collaborate with their peers both in the classroom and around the
world, leading to a more interactive and rich learning experience.

 Organization
 Digital ink is the major advance in information technology, and could
potentially save schools money while making it easier for faculty and
students to complete tasks.
 Teachers can enter grades and assignment updates on-line, rather than
in a paper grade-book.
 Libraries with digital database in place of a traditional card catalog make
their resources available for students to search anywhere with an
internet connection.
 Staff members can find and send transcript information and other
records quickly by accessing a digital filing system, saving time and
paper.

 Literacy
 With advancements in information and technology, teachers can increase
literacy and understanding in any subject.
 Lessons with audio and video components that directly engage students
reach more types of learners in comparison with traditional lecture
methods of teaching, encouraging more students to participate in class
and raising their level of understanding.
 New technology also helps disabled and disadvantaged students
participate in subjects they were once unable to join, thanks to assistive
programs and devices.

 Potential
 Information and communication technology opens the doors for better
distance learning programs, allowing those in disadvantaged areas to
have access to the same education as the priviledged.
 Because this technology makes information accessible from nearly any
location with a mobile device or laptop, courses can be more flexible,
meaning those with full schedules who may not have the time or
opportunity to further their education can choose to enroll in courses on-
line and complete assignments on their own time.

History of Education Technology


 Educational technology is a multifaceted and integrated processes involving
people, procedure, ideas, devices and organization, where technology from
different fields of science is borrowed as per the need and requirement of
education for implementing, evaluating, and managing solutions to those
problems involved in all aspects of human learning.
 Educational technology, broadly speaking, has passed through five stages
 First stage. Completed with the use of aids like charts, maps, symbols,
models, specimens and concrete materials. The term educational
technology was used as synonyms to audio-visual aids.
 Second stage. Associated with the ‘electronic revolution’ with the
introduction and establishment of sophisticated hardware and software.
Use of various audio-visual aids like projectors, magic lanterns, tape-
recorder, radio and television brought a revolutionary change in the
educational scenario.
 Third stage. Linked with the development of mass media which in turn
led to ‘communication revolution’ for instructional purposes. Computer
Assisted Instruction (CAI) used for education since 1950s also became
popular during this era.
 Fourth stage. Discernible by the individualized process of instruction.
The invention of programmed instruction provided a new dimension to
educational technology and teaching machines emerged.
 Fifth stage. Influenced by the concept of system engineering or system
approach which focuses on language laboratories, teaching machines,
programmed instruction, multimedia technologies and the use of
computer in instruction.

Rationale of Use of Technology


 Engagement
 Using technology involves the students in the learning process
 Students using technology become active in the learning process instead
of passive listeners.
 One-to-one technology enables access, manipulation, and presentation of
information and knowledge.
 It can be a very creative process, especially with multimedia.
 Using technology can reduce discipline problems if students are more
interested in their work.
 Technology allows students to take ownership of their work.

 Empowerment
 Using technology transforms the teacher from authority-expert to
facilitator when the students are guided to use technology to fine
answers online.
 Students are transformed from passive recipients of the teacher’s
knowledge to active participants in knowledge-seeking and knowledge –
construction.
 Teachers often learn new technology programs along with students.

 Access to Information & Communication


 The internet provides access to an incredible array of information
sources, media, and communications

 School-Home Connections
 Technology can offer increased accessibility if the students have
computer and internet access in their homes.
 Assignments, activities, assessments, multimedia, etc. can be provided
over the web and completed anywhere, providing for a wider range of
instructional opportunities for anytime anywhere learning.

 Differentiation
 Technology frequently provides greater opportunities for differentiation
for students.
 Computers targeted at multimedia applications showing pictures,
sounds, and videos are conducive to the learning styles of various
learners.
 Several software programs have exercises that are targeted at
differentiating to the various academic levels of students in the
classroom to improve areas of weakness.
 Transparency
 Student use of technology can make the thinking and problem-solving
process more transparent to the teacher.
 Digital files can provide documentation of the processes the student has
engaged in to solve problems.
 It is often easier to store and retrieve these files electronically than on
paper. Screen-monitoring software allows teachers to observe students in
the process of class work.
 Efficiency
 Using technology can reduce the workload on the teacher for mundane
tasks such as organization and distribution of electronic learning
materials, grading of multiple choice questions.
 Cooperative Grouping and Collaboration
 Educators frequently utilize cooperative grouping strategies and
technology integration at the same time since technology is very
conducive to group work, team problem-solving, etc.
 Having students work in partnerships or small groups with a computer
based activity as a guide allows students to work collaboratively to
complete a technology-based activity.
 Using technology allows for the free exchange of information.
 The widespread use of compatible text, presentation and image software
allows information to be exchanged more easily than ever before.
 Archiving
 Technology allows teachers to more efficiently save and document
student work for archival purposes.
 Whether students are working on a paper that is saved under their name
or scanning in classroom worksheets that identify where a student is in
their learning at a set point of time, technology gives the power to save
information in ways that are impossible through traditional means.
 Computers provide easy storage and access to students accumulating
portfolio of work.
 Students can better gauge their own progress and avoid repeating tasks
already accomplished.
 Preparation for College and Career
 With computers and various forms of technology moving more
prominently into the mainstream of typical life and business, it is
important to expose our students to different types of technology.
 Gaining experience in word processing, various software programs,
internet research, etc. are essential educational needs for students to
become successful in the workplace.
 Using technology allows for a smooth transition from school to work and
school to college.
 Reflection of Current Practice
 Using technology is familiar to today’s middle class students.
 Technology use is part of the normal learning process for many of these
students; it is in their “comfort zone” and highly integrated into their
non-school life in forms of gaming, messaging, cell phones, etc.
 For those students who are not conversant with technology in their non-
school life, the use of technology in school is critical.
 Problem-Solving and Project-Based Learning
 Developing deep competency using the problem solving environment
provided by the computer.
 Technology helps promote a positive shift towards project based, hands
on learning, away from lecture based learning.
 Lecture based learning will not, and should not disappear.
 The information manipulation environment provided by one-to-one
technology allows teachers to reduce their reliance on lecturing.

Subject-Area Reasons for Using Technology


 Writing Across the Curriculum
 Word processing software makes writing a significantly more enjoyable
process for student.
 Students will do more writing and revision when they have access to
word-processing software.
 Mathematics
 Can be made much richer and engaging by helping students explore
math with the aid of software tools like Spreadsheets (Excel)
 Science education can be greatly enhanced by the date gathering, data
analysis, and simulation software tools that run within the digital
workshop that computers provide.
 Historym, Social Studies and Current Events
 Instruction can be tremendously enriched by students having immediate
access to the vast wealth of information available on the Internet
including news, primary sources, and databases.
 Foreign Language
 Instruction success correlates highly with the time students are able to
spend in immersive environments.
 The multimedia capabilities of laptops allow students to spend more time
listening and speaking in the language f instruction.
 With the right software, and a set of headphones, a laptop can function
just like a language lab work station.
 Laptops also provide access, through the internet, to the media of the
countries where the language of instruction is the native language.
 Art, Music, and Drama
 Instruction is significantly enhanced when students use various software
programs to assist in the creation of artwork, music, scripts and digital
video.
 Students can visit virtual museums, listen to or watch great
performances, and have their own music practiced supported and
analyzed.

Issues in Education and Technology


 The use of information and communications technology (ICT) is now a central
part of education provision and practice. Consider the following key questions
about education and technology.
 What is education technology – and why dies it matter?
 Is technology inevitably going to change education?
 What can history tell us about education and technology?
 Does technology improve learning?
 Does technology make learning fairer?
 Will technology replace the learner?
 Will technology replace the education institution?
 Is technology leading to the generation gap between learners and
education?
 Education and technology – so what now?

Type of Instructional Materials


 What is an instructional material?
 Aid
 gives life to the subject matter
 Values and importance of Instructional Materials or Audiovisual Aids
 To help clarify important concepts

 Organization and Balance
 Cost
 Basic Guideline in the use of Instructional Materials or Audiovisual Aids
 Selecting the materials
 Preparing the class for the audiovisual experience
 Following up the audiovisual experience after its completion
 Various roles of instructional materials in the different modes of
teaching/learning
 Mass Instruction
 Audiovisual and other instructional materials can be employed as
vehicles for mass instruction
 e.g. the use of visual aids, handouts or worksheets in a lecture or
taught lesson
 e.g. video or multimedia presentations or off-air broadcasts.
 Individualized Learning
 The materials themselves constitute the vehicle whereby
instruction takes place.
 Materials should be designed and produced with the greatest case
 Group Learning
 the emphasis is usually very much on the approach and technique
rather than a reliance on specific types of hardware or courseware.
 Any courseware that is required for such an exercise should be
cery carefully designed, since it can play a key role in making sure
that the exercise runs smoothly.

Factors affecting selection of Media Instruction


 Cause Objectives and Content Factors
 Be sure to make course content and objectives the starting point for your
media selection
 Use real objects instead specially prepared instructional media
 Because these objects are known to you, you will find them easy to
present to your students. Examples:
 In a geography, geology, or metallurgy lecture, you should show
your students the real rock type rather than a slide or photo of it.
 In a biology or physiology lecture on respiration, animal lungs and
hearts form the local abattoir will serve better than slides or worse
still, trying to describe these structures and processes verbally.
 Anthropology students will appreciate the evolution of the human
skull if they have a real skull in front of them rather than only
slides or photographs of it.

 Learner and Lecturer Factors


 Students factors include their preferences, perceptual difficulties,
experiences and background (rural, urban), interests, level of motivation,
individual differences, physical disabilities and others (Laver, 1990: 156)
 Students from rural backgrounds may initially have difficulty
interpreting moods and emotions from photographs, films and video
clips, whereas this is easy for town dwellers who have grown up watching
TV and video.
 As the teacher, you will influence media through your own skills,
knowledge, attitude, and preferences.
 Material Factors
 These often affect the budget
 Consequently, shortages of equipment such as projectors, television sets,
videos, computers and teaching materials such as handouts, study
guides, textbooks, transparencies, slides and films will greatly affect your
media selection.
 If you are convinced of the necessity for media, you should try and get
them or find substitutes, which may not be as good as originals, but are
better than nothing.

How to overcome Resistance to Change in Media Utilization

One of the biggest sources of change in today’s workplace is the introduction of


new information and communications technology (ICT).

Here are some ways to overcome the implementation of technology:


 Communicate Early – Managing change is first and foremost about
communicating with the user.
 Communicate Often – Change is difficult with people especially when it involves
areas of expertise and prerogative. That’s why the school needs to make sure
they are being as open as possible and communicating consistently about
what’s happening.
 Explain what’s in it for them – It’s important to explain why the new technology
is being implemented and discuss how it will affect the teaching – learning
environment.
 Ensure Management Buy-in – A successful technology implementation starts
with the whole-hearted commitment of the administrators.
 Provide Adequate Training – Keep in mind that many teachers are not savvy
about technology and, in fact may be intimidated by it. Besides effective
communications, high quality training is a must for ensuring that employees
cope well with the changes and make a smooth transition to the new order.
 Get them involved – Involved key persons in system selection and
implementation. Ask for opinions on what’s needed and then involve them in
supplier interviews and system demonstrations.
 lock and Exits – once you’ve communicated with the teachers sought their
feedback and provided adequate training then it’s time to proceed
