What is Technology?

Comes from the Greek word “techne” It is a “planned, systematic

method of working to achieve
which means “craft or art”
planned outcomes – a process
NOT a product
 What is technology?

It is the applied side of scientific

development -Dale, 1969

All the ways people use their

inventions and discoveries to satisfy
their needs and desires -The World
Book Encyclopedia, Vol.

Therefore, we can say that educational technology
refers to how people use their inventions and
discoveries to satisfy their educational needs and
desires, i.e. learning
What is Educational Technology?
A complex, integrated process involving
 People
 Procedures
 Ideas
 Devices and
 Organization For analyzing problems and
Devising
Implementing
Evaluating and
Managing

Solutions to those problems, are involved in all aspects of human learning. - Association for
Educational Communications and Technology, 1977. The definition of educational technology, 1-16,
Washington D.C: AECT
 A field involved in applying a complex, integrated process to
analyze and solve problems in human learning. -David H.
OUR ATTITUDE
Jonassen, et al 1999

A field study which is concerned with the practice of using

educational methods and resources for the ultimate goal of
facilitating the learning process. -Lucido and Borabo, 1997

a profession like teaching.

It is made up of organized effort to implement the theory,
intellectual technique and practical application of educational
technology. -David H. Jonassen, et al 1999

From the definitions given, we can say that
educational technology is a very broad term. It is
the application of scientific findings in our method,
process, or procedure of working in the field of
education. It embraces curriculum and
instructional design, learning, environment, and
theories of teaching-learning.

Technology in Education
 The application of technology to any of those
processes involved in operating the institutions
which house the educational enterprise. It
includes the application of technology to food,
health, finance, scheduling, grade, reporting
and other processes which support education
within institutions. -David H. Jonassen, et.al,
1999
 Instructional Technology
Refers to those aspects of educational
technology that “are concerned with
instruction as contrasted to designs and
operations of educational institutions.
A systematic way of designing, carrying out
and evaluating the total process of learning
and teaching in terms of specific objectives. -
Lucido and Borabo, 1997 14
Technology Integration
Using “learning technologies to introduce, reinforce,
supplement and extend skills.
 the use of technology resources (computers, digital
cameras, CD-ROMs, software applications, the Internet,
etc.) in daily classroom practices, and in the management of
a school. - Schaffner, 2010
 Educational Media – These are channels or avenues or
instruments of communication.
Examples:
 Books  Radio
 Magazines  Television
 Newspapers  Internet
Roles of Educational Technology in Learning
In this case, technology will not be mere delivery vehicle
for content. Rather it is used as facilitator of thinking and
knowledge construction.

From the traditional point of view, technology serves as

source and presenter of knowledge. It is assumed that “
knowledge is embedded in the technology” .

From the constructivist point of view, educational

technology serves as learning tools that learners with. It
engages learners in active, constructive, intentional,
authentic and cooperative learning.
From a constructivist perspective, the following are the
roles of technology in learning:
Technology as tools to support knowledge construction:
 For representing learners’ ideas, understandings, and
beliefs.
 For producing organized, multimedia knowledge
bases by learners.
 Technology as information vehicles for exploring
knowledge to support learning-by-constructing:
 For accessing needed information
 For comparing perspectives, beliefs, and world views.
Technology as context to support learning-by-doing:
 For representing and simulating meaningful real-
world problems, situations, and contexts.

 For representing beliefs, perspectives,

y arguments,
and stories of others.

 For defining a safe, controllable problem for

student thinking

 For representing and simulating meaningful real-world

 For representing beliefs, perspectives, arguments and

 For defining a safe, controllable problem for student
thinking.
Technology as a social medium to support learning by
conversing:
 For collaborating with others.
 For discussing, arguing, and building consensus
among members of a community.
 For supporting discourse among knowledge-building
communities.
Technology as an intellectual partner (Jonassen 1996) to support
learning-by-reflecting:

 For helping learners to articulate and represent what they know.

 For reflecting on what they have learned and how they came to
know it.

 For supporting learners’ internal negotiations and meaning-making.

 For constructing personal representations of meaning

 For supporting mindful thinking
