Lesson 4.3. The Role of Technology in Delivering the Curriculum

 DESIRE LEARNING OUTCOMES

 Discuss the roles of technology in curriculum

Identify the factors in technology selection including the use of visual aids

The Role of Technology in Delivering the Curriculum

- In delivering the curriculum the role of technology is very important.

- Right at the planning phase of any instruction, aside from formulating the objectives
and among other considerations, there is a need to identify what instructional media
are to be utilized in the implementation.

Technology offers various tools and these range from non-projected to projected
media, in which the teacher choose, depending on what fits on the intended
instructional setting.

Non-Projected Media – It refers to the materials or visuals that doesn’t require or

doesn’t need the use of equipment or projection material.

Projected Media – These are media formats that is projected or which pictures are
enlarged and displayed on the wall or screen which are suitable for all use at all
grade levels and for instruction in all curriculum areas.

NON-PREJECTED MEDIA PROJECTED MEDIA

Real objects Overhead transparencies
Models Opaque projections
Field trips Slides
Kits Filmstrips
Printed materials (books, worksheets) Films
Visual (drawings, photographs, graphs, Video, VCD, DVD
charts, posters)
Visual boards (chalkboard, whiteboard,
Computer/Multimedia presentations
flannel board, and etc.)
Audio materials

Factors in Technology Selection

1. PRACTICALITY

Is the equipment (hardware) or already prepared lesson material (software)

available?

If not, what would be the cost in acquiring the equipment or producing the lesson in
audial or visual form?

2. ACTIVITY/SUITABILITY

Will the chosen media fit the set instructional event, resulting in either information,
motivation, psychomotor or display?

3. APPROPRIATNESS IN RELATION TO THE LEARNERS

Is the medium suitable for the learners’ ability to comprehend? Will the medium be a
source of plain amusement or entertainment, and not learning?

4. OBJECTIVE-MATCHING

Overall, does the medium help in achieving the learners’ objective(s)?

The Role of Technology in Curriculum Delivery

Technological innovation in commerce, science, and education is rapidly

developing, impacting teaching and learning. Three current trends could shape the
future of education: a paradigm shift from teacher-centered to student-centered
learning, recognizing education as an educative process, and the increasing use of
information and communication technology (ICT). The spread of computers and
affordable desktop micro-computers are driving this rapid development, making it
difficult to predict a technological revolution in education.
 For now, the primary roles of educational technology in deliveringthe school
curriculum's instructional program have been identified:

 Upgrading the quality of teaching-and-learning in schools

 Increasing the capability of the teacher to effectively inculcate learning, and
for students to gain mastery of lessons and courses.
 Broadening the delivery of education outside schools through non-traditional
approaches to formal and informal learning, such as Open Universities and
lifelong learning to adult learners
 Revolutionizing the use of technology to boost educational paradigm shifts
that give importance to students-centered and holistic learning.

TPACK Framework (Koehler, 2006)

Technological pedagogical knowledge (TPK) – Describes relationships and

interactions between technological practices.

Pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) – Describes the same between pedagogical

practices and specific learning objectives.

Technological content knowledge (TCK) – Describes relationships and intersections

among technologies and learning objectives.
A teacher should always ask and find the correct answer to the following questions
for every lesson.

 What shall I teach? (Content knowledge)

 How shall I teach the content? (Pedagogical knowledge)
 What technology will I use in how the teach the content? (Technological
knowledge)

Criteria for the Use of Visual Aids

 Visual elements (pictures, illustrations, graphics):

1. Lettering style or font - consistency and harmony.
2. Number of lettering style - no more than two in a static display (chart, bulletin
board).
3. Use of capitals - short titles or headlines should be no more than 6 words.
4. Lettering colors - easy to see and read.
5. Lettering size - good visibility even for students at the back of the classroom.
6. Spacing between letters - equal and even spacing.
7. Spacing between lines - not to close as to blur at a distance.
8. Number of lines - no more than 8 lines of text in each transparency/slide.
9. Appeal - unusual/catchy, two-dimensional, interactive (use of overlays or
movable flaps.
10. Use of directional - devices (arrows, bold letters, bullets, contrasting color and
size, special placement of an item
