This document discusses the roles of technology in learning and teaching. It outlines how technology can serve as a tutor, teaching tool, and learning tool. It also explains how technology supports teachers, modernizes the learning environment, and improves the teaching and learning process. The document then discusses how technology can enhance learners' communication skills, thinking skills like critical thinking and problem solving, and open new areas for educational research. It provides strategies for teachers to develop these skills in learners using questioning techniques and modifying tasks and groupings.

LEARNING AND
TEACHING

(INSTRUCTOR)

2. •Technology as tutor
•Technology as teaching tool
•Technology as learning tool

3. •Technology provides enormous support to the teacher as
the facilitator of learning
•Technology has modernized the teaching-learning
environment
•Technology improves teaching-learning process and
ways of teaching

4. •Technology opens new fields
in educational research
•Technology adds to the
competence of teachers and
inculcates scientific outlook
•Technology supports teacher
professional development

5. • Support learners to learn how to learn on their own
•Declarative knowledge
• Structural knowledge
•Procedural knowledge
•Technology enhances learners’ communication skills through social
interactions
•Technology upgrades learners’ higher-order thinking skills: critical
thinking, problem solving and creativity

6. •Critical thinking is a part of the cluster of higher order
thinking skills. It refers to the ability to interpret,
explain, analyze, evaluate, infer and self-regulate in
order to make good decisions.
•Teachers play a significant role in supporting learners
with technology. As a role model, teachers should display
and practice critical thinking processes, so that the
learners can imitate them. Here are the ways:

7. • Ask the right questions: Critical thinking
questions should ask for clarity, accuracy, precision,
relevance, depth, breadth and logic.
•For clarity: can you give examples of.
•For accuracy: what pieces of evidence
support your claim?
•For precision; exactly how much…
• Breadth: What do you think will the other
group say about the issue

8. What are the some simple ways the teachers should do?
1. Vary the questions asked.
2.Introduce new technologies
3. Modify the learners’ grouping
4. Modify the critical thinking task
5. Encourage curiosity

9. • Creativity is characterized as involving the
ability to think flexibly, fluently, originally and
elaborately. (Guildford 1986 & Torrance 1994
in Egbert, 2009)
•FLEXIBILITY means able to use many points
of view.
•FLUENTLY means able to generate many
ideas.
•ORIGINALLY implies being able to generate
new ideas.
•ELABORATELY means able to add details.

10. Creativity is not merely a set technical skills, but it
also involves feelings, beliefs, knowledge and
motivation.

11. • SUBSTITUTE –Find something else to replace to do
what it does.
•COMBINE – Blend two things that do not usually go
together.
•ADAPT – look for other ways this can be used.
•MODIFY/MAGNIFY/MINIFY – Make a change, enlarge,
decrease

12. •PUT – to another use. Find other uses.
•ELIMINATE – reduce, remove.
• REVERSE – Turn upside-down, inside out, front side back
All together, the strategies will be labelled as SCAMPER

13. AND ENHANCE CRITICAL THINKING,
PROBLEM SOLVING AND CREATIVITY OF
YOUR STUDENTS, HERE ARE SOME
SUGGESTIONS:
•Encourage students to find and use
information and use information from variety of
sources both on-line and off-line.
•Assist students to compare information from
different sources.
•Allow student to reflect through different
delivery modes like writing, speaking or
drawing.
•Use real experiences and material to draw
tentative decisions
• Involve students in creating and questioning
assessment.
