Roles and functions of educational technology in 21st Century educationKirigaya Kazuto
The term “21st century” has become the central part of educational thinking and planning for the future. Administrators and Teachers are actively searching for ways to prepare students for the future, and the educational system has been evolving faster than ever before. Creating a 21st century education system is about making sure that all students are prepared to succeed in a competitive world – a world with plenty of opportunities for highly skilled individuals and limited options for everyone else.
Globalization has opened up the world and allowed people to connect in new and exciting ways. We blend traditions and create unique belief systems and also transmit our values and cultures without the expectation of them being adopted by our audience. As always, at its core, the role of education is to prepare students to become active, successful, and contributing members of society.
Instruction should be student-centered
Instead of passively receiving information, the students would gather information on their own, under the guidance of their teacher. Different learning styles are encouraged, and students have an enhanced sense of motivation and responsibility.
They engage in many different types of hands-on activities, as well as demonstrate learning in many differentways. Learning is about discovery, not the memorization of facts.
In order to prepare students to play their role in the 21st century society we are a part of, the following can be considered when deciding how education will look in our schools and classrooms.
Education should be collaborative
Students must learn how to collaborative with others. Students should be encouraged to work together to discover information, piece it together, and construct meaning and should learn how to recognize the different strengths and talents each person can bring to a project, and change roles depending on those attributes. Schools should also be collaborating with other educational institutions around the world to share information and learn about different practices or methods that have been developed.
Learning should have context
Students are encouraged to learn in different ways, the teacher still provides guidance as to the skills that need to be acquired. The teacher can make a pint of helping students to understand how the skills they are building can be applied in their lives. Students will be so much motivated to learn something that they can se the value in. We need to take a more general approach and teach them the skills that they are useful in any situation.
Technology is a tool, a way for fact-based learning and allows students to do a lot of the research using the internet and various tools. The Role of Technology in 21st Century Learning:
1. Technology allows for24/7 access to information
2. Constant social interaction, and
3. Easily created and shared digital content.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

2. Creating a 21st century education
system is about making sure that all
students are prepared to succeed in a
competitive world. It’s about maximizing
the impact of technology to develop
proficiency in 21st century skills, support
innovative teaching and learning, and create
a robust education support systems.
The role of education is to prepare
students to become active, successful, and
contributing members of society.
3. In order to prepare students to play
their role in the 21st century society, the
following can be considered when deciding
how education will look in our schools and
classrooms.
1.) Instruction should be student-centered
In a student-centered instruction,
choice of teaching method and technique
has the learner as the primary
consideration.
In this classroom model, the teacher
would act as a facilitator for the students.
4. Instead of passively receiving
information, the students would gather
information on their own, under the guidance
of their teacher. Learning is about discovery,
not the memorization of facts.
2.) Education should be collaborative
As the word “collaborative” suggest, this
involves groups of students or teachers and
students working together to learn together by
solving a problem, completing a task, or
creating a product.
5. Students should be encouraged to work
together to discover information, piece t
together, and construct meaning. Schools
should also be collaborating with other
educational institutions around the world to
share information and learn about different
practices or methods that have been developed.
3.) Learning should have context
It means exerting effort to extend learning
beyond the class. It also entails effort to bring
outside-the-classroom realities of academic
contexts into the classroom.
6. The teacher can make a point of
helping students to understand how the
skills they are building can be applied in
their lives. Students will be much more
motivated to learn something that they can
see the value in.
We need to take a more general
approach and teach them the skills that are
useful in any situation. Lessons have little
purposes if they do not have any impact in
a student’s life outside of the school.
7. The Role of Technology in 21st
Century Learning
1.) Technology allows for 24/7 access to
information
2.) Constant social interaction, and
3.) Easily created and shared digital
content
8. There is a call for action to integrate
technology as a fundamental building block
into the education in three broad areas:
1.) Use technology comprehensively to
develop proficiency in 21st century skills
Knowledge of core content is necessary,
but no longer sufficient, for success in a
competitive world. Used comprehensively,
technology helps students develop 21st
century skills.
9. 2.) Use technology comprehensively to
support innovative teaching and learning
To keep pace with a changing world,
schools need to offer more rigorous,
relevant and engaging opportunities for
students to learn– and to apply their
knowledge and skills in meaningful ways.
Used comprehensively, technology supports
new, research-based approaches and
promising practices in teaching and
learning.
10. 3.) Use technology comprehensively to
create robust education support systems
To be effective in schools and
classrooms, teachers and administrators
need training, tools and proficiency in 21st
century skills themselves. Used
comprehensively, technology transforms
standards and assessments, curriculum
and instruction, professional
development, learning environments, and
administration.
11. Important Functions of
Educational Technology
1.) Improvement of Teaching
Educational Technology analyses the
process of teaching thoroughly. It tries to
find out the different variables of teaching,
their interlinks, effects upon each other ,
relationships, theories of teaching, phases
of teaching principles of teaching, maxims
of teaching.
12. 2.) Analysis of the Teaching-Learning Process
It tries to find out the different variables
of teaching their interlinks effects upon each
other, relationship. It is also concerned with
various phases of teaching. The principles of
teaching and the maxims of teaching are also
evaluated by it.
3.) Improvement of Learning
It facilitates more and more of learning
in less time. It takes the help of various
empirically established generalizations.
13. 4.) Enhancing Goals of Education
The objectives of educations are being
reviewed and revised with the passage of
time. Educational technology helps in
finding out the right objectives.
Educational Technology helps in
enhancing the right objectives in the light
of the changed circumstances and changed
environment.
14. 5.) Training to Teachers
The changed type of environment with
new curriculum and new materials is to be
handled by the teachers. Right type of
training to he teachers is the need of the
hour.
6.) Development of Curriculum
Curriculum is the total teaching-
learning environment, which has to e
modified and remodelled in the light of
latest thoughts.
15. 7.) Development of Teaching-Learning
Materials
Teaching-learning materials are also as
important as anything else in the teaching-
learning process. They have to be in
accordance with the environment of the
learners. Only right type of materials will
able to modify the behaviour of the learner
suitably making him a fit person for the
society.
16. 8.) Teaching-Learning Strategies
A strategy plays an important role in the
hands of a teacher in every teaching-learning
situation. The strategy has to be the right one,
which should be according to the materials and
is able to bring about effective teaching learning.
9.) Development of Audio-Visual Aids
Audio-Visual aids have always played an
important role in the teaching–learning process.
Computer assisted instructions will help the
learner as well as the teacher to achieve the goals
of education more conveniently.
17. 10.) Help in Overall Improvement
It helps in locating the problems in the
different areas of education. It also helps in
remedying the draw-backs. Educational
technology can revolutionized the whole
process of teaching learning.
11.) Identification of Needs of the Community
It helps in providing equal education
opportunities to backward people,
disadvantaged students and deprived sections
of the society. It tries to improve the
community in every possible way.
