- 2. INTRODUCTION Educational Technology, in terms of terminology and structural composition, may carry out two basic components, namely education and technology. We are focusing here more on the evolutionary nature of the second component, i.e. technology, as a subject has its sole concern with the task identifying the most suitable, appropriate and developed technology (both hardware and software) for serving educational needs and purposes of the students and the society at a particular time and place. It is a matter of no secret that there has been a continuous shift in the nature of the use of technologies means and measures for improving the process and productsof education depending upon the type of excellence attained by the members of the society and communities all over the globe in terms of scientific, philosophical, psychological and technological progress and advances. This is why, we can witness a continual shift in the modes and means of educational technology being used for serving the cause of education in different periods of human history and civilization
- 3. MEANING OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY There are three Views regarding the meaning of educational Technology. The first view refers to the application of physical Science and engineering technology to provide mechanical or electromechanical tods, instrumentation, or 'hardware'which can be used for instructional purpose. The second view refers to the application of scientific principles o intuition. Third view refers that education should be considered a system in which machines, materials, media, men and methods are inter related parts and are organized in such a way as they work together for the fulfillment of specific educational objectives - Educational Technology iscomprehensive. It is associated with all aspects of educative process methods, teaching strategies, learning materials, handling of various equipment. Educational technology is concerned with the systematic application of science and technology in the field of education and thus may be defined as the application of technology to education in order to further the case of the latter. Just as science and technology help in carrying out the practical task in general, educational technology helps in providing efficiency to the task of teaching and learning.
- 4. SCOPE AND SIGNIFICANCE OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY 1. Analysis of the process of teaching and learning: Educational technology tries to discuss the concept of teaching, analysis of the teaching process, variables of the teaching, phase of teaching, levels of teaching, theories of teaching, principles and maxims of teaching, the concept of learning, relevance of the theories, the relationship between teaching and learning. 2. Spelling out the educational goals or objectives: Educational technology tries to discuss the topics such as identification of education needs and aspirations of the community, survey of the resources available for satisfaction of these needs. 3. Development of curriculum: This aspect of educational technology is concerned with the designing of a suitable curriculum for the achievement of the stipulated objectives. 4. Development of teaching-learning material: This area of educational technology is concerned with the production and development of the suitable teaching-learning material in view of stipulated objectives, design curriculum and available resources. 5. Teaching preparation or teaching-training: Teacher is a key figure in any process of teaching and learning. Educational technology, therefore, take care of the proper preparations of teachers for exercising their complex responsibilities. 6. Development and selection of the teaching-learning strategies and topics:This aspect deals with the central problems of teaching learning act. Here educational technology tries to describe the ways and discovering, selecting and developing suitable strategies and tactic of teaching. 7. Development, selection and use of the appropriate audio-visual aids: teaching- learning is greatly influenced and benefited by the use of appropriate audio-visual aids. Educational technology covers this aspect by discussing various types of audio- visual aids used for educational purpose, their proper selecting suiting to a particular teaching-learning situation. 8. Effective utilization of the hardware and mass media: various sophisticated instrument, equipment, gadget and communication devices brought through mechanization and electronics revolution playing an effective role in the attainment of educational objectives by helping the teachers and learners in their respective roles. 9. To work for the effective utilization of the subsystem of education: educational technology considers education as a system operating, in a systematic and scientific way, for the achievement of educational objectives. 10. To provide essential feedback and control through evaluation: educational technology I essentially concerned with the task of exercising appropriate control over the process of teaching and learning by planning and devising suitable tools and devices for the continuous evaluation of the process and products of the teaching- learning activities.
- 5. OBJECTIVES OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY a) Objectives at the Macro Level In view of the broad educational goals, i.e. the macro level, the objectives of educational technology can be listed in the following way: 1. To identify educational needs aspiration of the community. 2. To determine the aims of education, broad strategies and structure of education. 3. To develop a sustainable curriculum with interaction with science, art and human values. 4. To identify man-material resources and strategies for achieving the stipulated aims of education. 5. To develop certain models leading to improvement of the process of teaching and learning. 6. To develop the appropriate aids and equipment to meet the educational purposes. 7. To identify the major constraints in the environment and the ways and means to tackle those. 8. To help in extending educational opportunities to the masses especially the neglected section of the community. 9. To manage the whole educational system covering planning, implementation and the evaluation phases.
- 6. b) Objectives at the Micro Level In view of specific classroom teaching, i.e. the micro level, the objectives of educational technology are as follows: 1. To identify and analyze the characteristics and educational needs of the pupils. 2. To determine the specific classroom objectives and state them in behavioral terms. 3. To analyze the contents of instruction and organize it in proper sequence. 4. To identify the available teaching-learning materials and resources. 5. To identify the nature of the interaction of the sub-systems like students, teachers, teaching-learning materials, content of instruction and methodologies. 6. To plan the teaching strategies and utilize the man-material resources for achieving specific classroom objectives. 7. To plan the teaching strategies and utilize the man-material resources for achieving specific classroom objectives. 8. To plan the teaching strategies and utilize the In view of the broad educational goals, i.e. the macro level, the objectives of educational technology can be listed in the following way:
- 7. CONCLUSION The term ‘educational technology’ has been in vogue in several decades, yet on the account of its complex nature involving many disciplines and demanding too much specialization and understanding of the planning, process and products of education, it has been narrowly conceived by different individuals on where one works and stand within the educational spectrum. It has resulted in the information of varying concept of educational technology. For the experts of programmed learning and individualized instruction, it means the programming of the self-instructional material and use teaching machines or computer-aided learning material. educational technology should stand for a wise application of the available human and non-human resources for providing appropriate solution to the educational problems and to improve the process and products of education.
