Lesson 3: Roles of Educational Technolgy in Learning
This document discusses the role of educational technology in learning. It outlines how technology can play both a traditional role by delivering instructional lessons, as well as a constructivist role by serving as a partner in the learning process or a medium for representing what students know and are learning. From a constructivist perspective, technology can support knowledge construction by representing student ideas and understanding, act as an information vehicle for exploring knowledge, provide contexts for problem solving and simulations, enable social learning through collaboration, and serve as an intellectual partner that helps students articulate and reflect on what they have learned. When used effectively, research shows technology can increase student learning, understanding, achievement, motivation, and support critical thinking and problem solving skills.

- 2. Lesson 3: The Role of Educational Technology in learning
- 4. “Technology makes the world a better place.”
- 7. Activity: oThink of a learning experience that the use of “technology” helped you learn.
- 9. Technology can……. Play a traditional role. A delivery vehicles for instructional lessons.
- 11. Technology serves as a teacher.
- 13. Constructivist role…… •or a partner in the learning process.
- 14. •Technology is a learning tool to learn with, not from.
- 15. •Technology serves as a medium in representing what the learners knows and he/she is learning.
- 17. Technology like “COMPUTERS” is seen as a productivity tool. * Word Processing * databases
- 19. With the eruption of “INTERNET” in mid 90’s communications and multimedia have dominated the role of technology inside the classroom.
- 20. Cont… Active, constructive, intentional, authentic, and cooperative learning. It provides opportunities for technology and learner interaction for meaningful learning.
- 21. From a constructivist perspective, the following are role of technology in learning: (Jonassen, et al 1999)
- 22. Technology as tools to support knowledge construction…..
- 23. For representing learners’ ideas, understanding and beliefs for organized, multimedia knowledge bases by learners.
- 24. Technology as information vehicles for exploring knowledge to support learning by constructing:
- 26. For comparing perspectives, beliefs and world views.
- 27. Technology as context to support learning-by-doing: For representing and simulating meaning realworld problems, situations and context.
- 28. For representing beliefs, perspectives, arguments, and stories of others.
- 29. For defining a safe, controllable problem space for student thinking.
- 30. Technology as a social medium to support learning by conversing: For collaborating with others.
- 31. •For discussing, arguing, and building consensus among members of a community.
- 32. •For supporting discourse among knowledgebuilding communities.
- 33. Technology as intellectual partner (Jonassen 1996) to support learning by reflecting: •For helping learners to articulate and represent what they know.
- 34. For reflecting on what they have learned and how they came to know it.
- 35. For supporting learners internal negotiations and meaning making.
- 36. For constructing personal representations of meaning for supporting mindful thinking.
- 37. Whether used from the traditional or constructivist point of view, when USED effectively. Research indicates that technology “increases students’ learning, understanding, and achievements
- 38. but also their motivation to learn, encourage collaborative learning and supports the development of critical thinking and problem solving skills.”
