Lesson 3: The Role of Technology in Delivering the Curriculum


Intended Learning Outcomes:

 Discuss roles of technology in curriculum delivery

 Enhance the application of outcomes-based learning with technology


both as an aid and platform for learning

 Analyze the significance of systematic lesson planning in which the


appropriate choice of media comes to play

Take Off

After learning fundamental concepts about the curriculum-its nature and


development, comes the practical phase of curriculum implementation.
Appropriately, the significance of technology in curriculum development
deserves discussion.

The role of technology in the curriculum springs from the very vision of the e-
Philippine plan. Thus it is stated: "an electronically enabled society where all
citizens live in an environment that provides quality education, efficient
government services, greater sources of livelihood and ultimately a better
way of life through enhanced access to appropriate technologies". This
points to the need for an e-curriculum, or a curriculum which delivers
learning consonant with the Information Technology and Communications
Technology revolution. This framework presupposes that curriculum delivery
adopts ICT as important tool in education while users implement teaching-
learning strategies that conform to the digital environment. Following a
prototype outcomes-based syllabus, this same concept is brought about
through a vision for teachers to be providers of relevant, dynamic and
excellent education programs in a post-industrial and technological
Philippine society. Thus among educational goals desired for achievement is
the honing of competencies and skills of a new breed of students, now better
referred to as a generation competent in literacies to the 3 Rs (reading,
'riting and rithmetic) but influences, more particularly: problem-solving
fluency, information access and retrieval of texts/images/sound/video
fluency, social networking fluency, medical fluency, and digital creativity
fluency.
Content Focus

Instructional media may also be referred to as media technology or learning


technology.

Technology plays a crucial role in delivering instruction to learners.


Technology offers various tools of learning and these range from non-
projected media from which the teacher can choose, depending on what he
sees fit with the intended instructional setting. For example, will a
chalkboard presentation be sufficient in illustrating a mathematical
procedure; will a video clip be needed for motivating learners?

In the process, what ensues is objective-matching where the teacher decides


on what media or technology to use to help achieve the set learning
objectives.

Non-Projected media Projected media

Real objects Overhead transparencies

Models Opaque projection

Field trips Slides

Kits Filmstrips

Printed materials Films

Visuals Video, VCD, DVD

Visual boards Computer/multimedia presentation

Audio materials

Table 1. Types of instructional media/technology

Factors in Technology Selection


In deciding on which technology to use from a wide range of media available,
the factors on which to base selection are:

1. Practicality. Is the equipment or already prepared lesson material


available? If not, what would be the cost in acquiring the equipment or
producing the lesson in audial or visual form?

2. Appropriateness in relation to the leamers. Is the medium suitable to the


learners' ability to comprehend? Will the medium be a sources of plan
amusement of entertainment, but not learning?

3. Activity/suitability. Will the chosen media fit the set instructional event,
resulting in either information, motivation or psychomotor display?

4. Objective-matching Overall, does the medium help in achieving the


learning objectives?

The Role of Technology in Curriculum Delivery

It can easily be observed that technological innovation in the multifarious


fields of commerce, science and education, is fast developing such that it is
difficult to foresee the technological revolution in the millennium, inclusive of
education changes. For certain however, technological changes in education
will make its impact on the delivery of more effective. Efficient and
humanizing teaching-and-learning. But presently, we can identify three
current trends that could carry on the nature of education in the future. The
first trend is the paradigm shift from teacher-centered to students-centered
approach to learning. The second is the broadening realization that
education is not simply a delivery of facts and information, but an educative
process of cultivating the cognitive, affective, psychomotor and much more
the contemplative intelligence of the learners of a new age. But the third and
possibly the more explosive trend is the increase in the use of new
information and communication technology or ICT.

Already at the turn of the past century, ICT, in its various forms and
manifestations has made its increasing influence on education, and the trend
is expected to speed up even more rapidly. Propelling this brisk development
is the spread of the use of the computer and availability of desktop
microcomputers affordable not only to cottage industries, businesses and
homes but also to schools.
For now the primary roles of educational technology curriculum's instruction
program have been identified. in delivering the school

Upgrading the quality of teaching-and-learning in schools Increasing the


capability of the teacher to effectively inculcate learning, and for students to
gain mastery of lessons and courses.

Broadening the delivery of education outside schools through non-traditional


approaches to formal and informal learning, such as Open Universities and
lifelong learning to adult learners. Revolutionizing the use of technology to
boost educational paradigm shifts that give importance to students-centered
and holistic learning.
