Educational Technology

1. LESSON 3:
“THE ROLE OF EDUCATIONAL
TECHNOLOGY IN LEARNING”

2. “Technology makes the world
a new place.”

3. Activity:
Go back to your learning experiences in
school. Recall specific ways by which the use
of educational technology helped you learn.

4. TECHNOLOGY CAN:
Play a traditional role or a
constructivist role.

5. TRADITIONAL ROLE:
Technology as a delivery
vehicles for instructional lessons.

6. Technology serves as a
teacher.

7. CONSTRUCTIVIST ROLE:
Technology as a partner in
learning process.

8.  Technology helps the learner
build more meaningful
personal interpretations of
life and his/her world.

9.  Technology is a learning tool
to learn with, not from.

10.  Technology serves as a medium
in presenting what the learner
knows and what he/she is
learning.

11. From traditional point of view,
technology serves as a source
and presenter of knowledge.

12. Technology like computers is
seen as a productive tool.

13. Word processing
Databases
Spreadsheets
Graphic programs
Desktop publishing

14. With the eruption of INTERNET in
mid 90’s, communications and
multimedia have dominated the
role of technology inside the
classroom.

15. From constructivist point of
view, educational technology
serves as learning tools that
learners learn with.

16. It engages learners in active,
constructive, intentional,
authentic and cooperative
learning.

17. It provides opportunities for
technology and learner
interaction for meaningful
learning.

18. From a constructivist
perspective, the following are
roles of technology in learning:
(Jonassen, et al 1999)

19.  Technology as tools to
support knowledge
construction:

20. - For representing learner’s ideas,
understanding and beliefs.
- For producing organized,
multimedia knowledge bases by
learners.

21.  Technology as information
vehicles for exploring
knowledge to support
learning-by-constructing:

22. - For accessing needed information.
- For comparing perspective, beliefs
and world views.

23.  Technology as context to
support learning-by-doing:

24. - For representing and simulating
meaningful real-world problems,
situations and context.
- For representing beliefs,
perspectives, arguments, and
stories of others.
- For defining a safe, controllable,
problem space for student thinking.

25.  Technology as a social
medium to support learning
by conversing:

26. - For collaborating with others.
- For discussing, arguing, and
building consensus among
members of a community.
- For supporting discourse among
knowledge-building communities.

27.  Technology as intellectual
partner (Jonassen 1996) to
support learning
-by-reflecting:

28. - For helping learners to articulate
and represent what they know.
- For reflecting on what they have
learned and how they came to
know it.

29. - For supporting learners internal
negotiations and meaning making.
- For constructing personal
representations of meaning.
- For supporting mindful thinking.

30. Whether used from the traditional
or constructivist point of view,
when USED effectively. Research
indicates that technology
“increases students’ learning,
understanding, and achievements

31. But also their motivation to
learn, encourage collaborative
learning and supports the
development of critical thinking
and problem solving skills.”
