This document proposes a theoretical framework for studying ICT in schools using a sociocultural perspective. It argues that ICT must be studied within the broader context of how it is used, including the activities, participants, and relationships involved. The framework uses activity systems as the unit of analysis, where an activity system includes all elements involved in an activity surrounded by different contextual levels. Activity theory is presented as a way to understand how ICT shapes and is shaped by its social environment. The document concludes by proposing that research should use activity systems as the unit to observe how sociocultural factors and cognition interact with ICT tools in educational settings.
1) The document proposes a theoretical framework based on activity theory to holistically study ICT in schools. It argues ICT must be studied within the broader sociocultural context and activities it is situated in, not in isolation.
2) The framework uses an activity system as the unit of analysis, where an individual's goal-directed activity is mediated by tools and signs within the sociocultural setting. This allows observing how settings and cognition shape and are shaped by ICT tools.
3) Adopting this framework allows considering how ICT mediates activities in learning environments and how its use integrates into discourse and develops higher-order thinking, rather than just focusing on ICT itself.

- The document discusses the relationship between advanced technology and learning environments in mathematics education.
- It notes that while technology was initially introduced to support individual learning, research showed this was insufficient and the entire learning environment must be considered.
- Activity theory is discussed as a framework for understanding learning environments as systems involving students, teachers, tools, and the social context. Changes in one element impact the entire environment.
This document discusses using Activity Theory as a framework for understanding human-computer interaction, particularly in an educational context in South Africa. It first provides an overview of Activity Theory and its key concepts from Vygotsky and Engestrom. It then describes a case study where the author used an online questioning environment in a postgraduate education course to help students develop critical thinking skills. Activity Theory is proposed as a lens for analyzing how the introduction of this new computer-based tool transformed both the classroom activity system and the students' and instructor's roles within it. The document concludes by arguing Activity Theory is valuable for conceptualizing learning as a social process mediated by tools, rather than something that occurs solely in an individual's mind.

1) The document discusses factors that influence learners' attitudes toward e-learning systems based on an activity theory approach.
2) It identifies four key factors: e-learning as a learner autonomy environment, e-learning as a problem-solving environment, e-learning as a multimedia learning environment, and teachers as assisted tutors in e-learning.
3) The study surveyed 168 learners and used factor analysis to group their attitudes toward e-learning systems into these four factors.
What shapes what? Technologies and their relationship to learningMartin Oliver
Although there is a considerable body of work that explores educational uses of technology, and highly developed accounts of what learning is, surprisingly little research in education has asked what technology is, or what its relationship to learning consists of. When these matters are considered at all, they tend to be framed in technologically deterministic ways, with technology either 'causing' or at the least 'offering' and 'constraining' learning. In this talk, I will provide an overview of this way of framing technology and identify problems that follow from it. I will outline alternative positions that could be adopted, including Communities of Practice, the Social Construction of Technology and Actor-Network Theory, and discuss their points of connection to this debate. Using examples drawn from a JISC-funded project on digital literacies, I will draw out the implications of these positions for research.
CLASSROOM COMMUNICATION AND ICT INTEGRATION: PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS’ NOT...IJITE
As part of the 21st Century skills, the integration of Information and Communication Technology is
inevitable in classroom communication. This descriptive qualitative research covered all 60 teachers in five
selected public high schools in Capiz, Philippines. Semi-structured interviews, informal interviews, and
observations were done to gather data. The data were analyzed using General Inductive Approach and
thematic analysis to unearth and cull emerging notions and themes. Participants viewed classroom
communication as a process, tool, context, interaction, and strategy. ICT for them was a driver for change,
a conduit for learning, a modern technology, and an instrument for effective teaching and learning. ICT
integration in classroom communication was interpreted to have helped teaching, to be a new medium of
instruction, and a marriage or partnership between classroom communication and ICTs. It is
recommended that best practices in integrating ICTs in classroom communication should be explored and

This document discusses the role of information and communication technology (ICT) in the learning and teaching process. It begins by noting that most advanced countries invest heavily in ICT as a key tool in education. The document then examines the nature, characteristics, benefits and obstacles of using ICT in learning and teaching.
Some key points made in the document include:
- ICT can help teachers convey complex concepts and visualize abstract ideas. It allows students to learn through discovery and communication.
- Using ICT makes the learning process more attractive, interactive and helps optimize classroom time. It supports lifelong and informal learning.
- Barriers to adopting ICT include teachers' lack of familiarity with technology and reliance on
1. The document discusses how technology and its integration into classrooms has transformed the definition of literacy to include the ability to interact with technological tools and resources.
2. It explores how government initiatives like No Child Left Behind have aimed to expand access to learning through e-learning and technology to close achievement gaps.
3. Standards organizations like ISTE and NETS have also worked to define standards for effective educational use of technology to enhance learning and prepare students for an increasingly digital world.
This chapter introduces the concept of learning design and argues that explicitly representing and sharing the design of learning activities can help teachers create more effective learning environments. It discusses the changing context of education and needs of modern learners. A new learning design methodology is needed to help teachers design pedagogically sound learning that leverages new technologies. The chapter lays out an argument for shifting to a more systematic, explicit approach to design using tools and methods grounded in research.

The document discusses the relationship between technology and learning. It argues that technology should not be seen as having a direct causal impact on learning and that its use needs to be understood within its social context. While schools have adopted technologies for assessment and instruction, technologies used outside of schools that empower learner agency are often excluded. The rise of information technologies calls into question the link between schooling and learning, and suggests a pluralistic model where out-of-school learning can complement in-school education.
An E-book entitled “Various Aspects of ICT Integration in Education” focuses on the ICT integration in education has been created.The book has composed of 12 modules created by academicians from 10 different universities.

The articles cover a wide range of subject areas, with most in social sciences and computer science. The majority of articles are from authors based in the United States and Turkey. The document provides insights into trends in educational technology research over time and across countries/fields to help identify areas for further study.
The document discusses the meaning, scope, and objectives of educational technology. It defines educational technology as the study and ethical practice of facilitating learning through appropriate technological processes and resources. The scope of educational technology is as wide as education itself, ranging from educational administration to instructional processes. The objectives at the macro level include identifying educational needs, determining curriculum, and managing educational systems. At the micro level, objectives involve analyzing student characteristics, setting behavioral objectives, selecting teaching methods and resources, and evaluating student performance.
This document summarizes a study on teachers' mindset and responsibilities in using virtual learning environments (VLEs) in Icelandic schools. The study examined how various issues influence teachers' roles when using information and communication technologies to support education. It identified several factors that affected teachers' mindsets and responsibilities during computer classes, including lack of technical support, role conflicts, lack of confidence, workload, preparation needs, and self-criticism. The study collected data through interviews, observations, and other methods to analyze how teachers can effectively manage these issues when incorporating virtual learning into their teaching.
Educational technology is defined as the study and ethical practice of facilitating learning and improving performance through creating, using, and managing appropriate technological processes and resources. It has broad scope that includes analyzing the teaching and learning process, setting educational goals and objectives, developing curriculum, teaching materials, and teacher training. It also covers strategies and tactics for teaching and learning, using audiovisual aids, hardware, mass media, and evaluation tools to effectively achieve educational objectives. Educational technology aims to apply scientific knowledge and discoveries to optimize the teaching and learning process.
This document presents the concept of Learner Generated Contexts (LGC) as a potential framework to support more effective use of technology in learning. LGC views context as defined by a learner's interactions across physical and virtual spaces over time, rather than being confined to a single location. It proposes that learners can now take greater agency in creating their own learning contexts through technologies that enable sharing information and collaborating online. The document discusses shortcomings of current educational models and argues that a context-based model organized around learner-generated contexts could offer more participatory and democratic learning experiences.
Blended learning is the natural evolution of electronic learningAlexander Decker
This document discusses blended learning as the natural evolution of e-learning. It defines blended learning as blending modern techniques like online learning with traditional classroom methods. The key points are:
1. Blended learning offers the benefits of different teaching methods in an organized way to meet the needs of different learning situations.
2. Success requires excellent instructional content, teachers and students skilled in technology, and adequate financial resources.
3. Barriers include the cost of technology and some teachers' and students' lack of experience with instructional technology.
4. Blended learning creates rich interactive environments that engage students and improve learning outcomes.
This document summarizes research on the impact of a blended learning approach that combines traditional face-to-face instruction with online learning. A study was conducted involving 128 undergraduate students in Kuwait, with some taking a course using a blended model and others a traditional model. Students in the blended model group significantly outperformed those in the traditional group on projects, exams, online course participation, and attendance. Other research discussed found blended learning improved standardized test scores, communication/collaboration skills, and student motivation in the US. Additional studies showed blended learning helped reduce achievement gaps between urban and rural schools, and had a positive impact on student achievement in science classes in Australia.
Educational technology refers to the application of scientific knowledge and methods to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of teaching and learning. The document discusses the meaning, objectives, characteristics, and scope of educational technology. Specifically, it defines educational technology as a system involving machines, materials, media, men and methods working together to achieve educational objectives.
