ROLES OF TECHNOLOGY FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING

Educational Technology has three domains
1. Technology as a tutor – Together with the teacher, technology can support the
teacher to teach another person or technology when programmed by the teacher
can be a tutor on its own. The Teacher will simply switch on or switch off the
radio pragmas, television programs of play DVD’s, or CDs containing
educational program.

2. Technology as a teaching tool – Like a tutor, technology is a teaching tool, but

can never replace a teacher. Like any other tool, it is used to facilitated and
lighten the
 work of the teacher. It will be good if the teacher can also create or developed
technology tools that are needed in the classroom.

3. Technology as a learning tool – While the teacher utilizes technology as the tool
for teaching, likewise it is an effective tool for learning.
As a learning tool, it makes learning easy and effective. It can produce
learning outcomes that call for technology-assisted teaching. Even the teachers
who are teaching can utilize similar tools for learning.
As a learning tool, it is very interesting that even the elderly use these
tools for learning for life.

A. For Teachers and Teaching

1. Technology provides enormous support to the teacher as the facilitator of
learning- It transforms a passive classroom to an active and interactive one, with
audio visual aids, charts and models, smart classrooms, e-learning classrooms
which motivate and increase attention level of learners.

2. Technology has a modernized the teaching-learning environment-

The teachers are assisted and supplemented with appropriately structured
instructional materials for daily activities. There are varied technology-driven
resources which can be utilized for remedial lesson or activities.

3. Technology improves teaching-learning process and ways of teaching-

This will make the act of teaching more efficient and effective. There are arrays of
teaching methods and strategies that can use technology which are found
compatible with learning styles. The Multiple intelligence theory of Howard
Gardner tells us that there is a genius in every child. This implies that there must
be varied ways of teaching as there are many varied ways of learning.
All learning styles can find support from technology, so that teaching will be
more effective and efficient.

4. Technology opens new fields in educational researches-

The areas of teaching testing and evaluation are enhanced by technologies for
teaching and learning. Current educational researchers will no longer find
difficulty in interpreting tests, assessment and other evaluation results with
speed and accuracy. Reference retrieval is also hastened because many of the
research
 materials are in digital forms. Technology has also provided access to big data
that can be processed for problem solving and inquiry.

5. Technology adds to the competence of teachers and inculcates Scientific outlook

Through the utilization of theories of learning and intelligence, which are
explained in references uploaded in the net, the teachers are encouraged to
imbibe skills to source these information with speed and accuracy,

6. Technology supports teacher professional development

With the demand of continuing professional development for teachers, the
availability of technology provides alternative way of attending professional
development online. For those who are involved as providers of continuing
professional development like trainers, facilitators or organizers, they can level
up or enhance their delivery systems with the support of technology tools.

B. For Learners and Learning

1. Support Learners to Learn how to learn on their own(Egbert 2009)
A. DECLARATIVE KNOWLEDGE – Consists of the discrete pieces of information
that answers the questions what, who, when, and where. It is often learned
through memorization of facts, drill and practice. It can be learned by simple
mnemonics or conceptual maps. Is the fundamental knowledge necessary for
students to achieve more complex higher order thinking such as critical thinking
and creativity, inquiry and production.

B. STRUCTURAL KNOWLEDGE- Consists of facts or pieces of declarative

knowledge put together to attain some form of meaning. An example is “pencil”.
The idea that evolved from the pencil is an understanding that: “It is something
used to write”. This is referred to as structural knowledge. It can be presented by
concept maps, categorization or classification.

C. PROCEDURAL KNOWLEDGE- Is knowledge in action or the knowledge of how

to do something. It is based on facts but learned through the process of procedural
knowledge. Example include how to drive a car, how to use a cellphone. Procedural
knowledge is indicated by a performance task or graphical representation of a
concept.

2. Technology enhances learners’ communication skills through social interaction

(Shirly 2003) in (Egbert 2009). Three Basic Communication patterns.
A. Point to point, two-way or one-to-one: Like internet chat, phone
conversation or face-to-face conversation
B. One-to-many outbound: Like a lecture or television. There is no
social interaction
C. Many-to-many: Like group discussion, buzz session, head together.
It provides opportunities for social interaction.

Social interaction occurs in two way where the participants ask for clarification,
argue, challenge each other and work towards common understanding. It can
also include technology (directly between two persons via email, a cell phone or
other communication technology like teachers and students interacting about the
worksheet printed from a websites.

3. Technology upgrades learners’ higher-order-thinking skills: critical thinking,

problem solving and creativity
a. Critical thinking - is part of the cluster of higher order thinking skills. Refers to the
ability to interpret, explain, analyze, evaluate, infer and self regulate in order to
make good decisions. With the use of technology, one will be able to evaluate
the credibility of the source, ask appropriated questions, become open-minded,
defend a position on an issue and draw conclusion with caution. (Bloom/s
Taxonomy of Analysis, Synthesis and Evaluation.
 Ways to develop Critical Thinking
1. Ask the Right Questions. Ex. Can you give examples of…. What do you think will the
other group say about the issue?

2. Use Critical Thinking tasks with appropriate level of challenge. Ex. Teachers must
provide activities based on the need of the learners and determine the level of
readiness.
Example is to vary the questions asked.

b. Creativity- Characterized as involving the ability to think flexibly, fluently,

originally, and elaborately (Guildford, 1986 & Torracance, 1974 in Egbert,
2009)

Seven Creative Strategies (Osborn, 1963)

1. Substitute – Find something else to replace to do what it does

2. Combine- Blend two things that do not usually go together
3. Adapt- Look for other ways this can be used
4. Modify/Magnify/Minify- Make a change, enlarge, decrease
5. Put to another use- Fine other Uses
6. Eliminate- Reduce, remove
7. Reverse- Turn Upside-down, inside out, front-side back
