The technology for teaching and learning 2
- 2. Educational Media - are defined as any devices, content materials, methods, or experiences used for teaching and learning purposes.
- 3. A. Text versus visuals ● Text may be defined as a simple and flexible format of presenting information or conveying ideas whether hand-written, printed or displayed on-screen.
- 4. ● Formal text-based materials are created and distributed by established institutions (such as publishing companies, news agencies, etc.) and go through a rigorous process of editing or evaluation and are usually governed by censorship of the state. ● Informal text - they come from personal opinions or views on different issues, processes, etc.
- 5. ● Visuals something you look at (such as a picture, chart, or film) that is used to make something more appealing or easier to understand.
- 6. ● Poster - presenters are usually offered a large area to display their material. Types of Visual Media:
- 7. ● Chart - A chart is a graphical representation of data, in which "the data is represented by symbols, such as bars in a bar chart, lines in a line chart, or slices in a pie chart". Types of Visual Media:
- 8. Types of Visual Media:
- 9. ● Photos Types of Visual Media:
- 10. ● Bulletin Board - It is a surface intended for the posting of public messages, for example, to advertise items wanted or for sale, announce events, or provide information. Types of Visual Media:
- 11. Types of Visual Media:
- 12. ● Transparencies - The transparency is then used with an overhead projector to show the written material on a screen or wall. Types of Visual Media:
- 13. ● Powerpoint slides - A PowerPoint presentation is a presentation created using Microsoft PowerPoint software. ● Graphs - Graphs are mathematical structures that represent pairwise relationships between objects. Types of Visual Media:
- 14. Types of Visual Media:
- 15. B. Linear versus Hypermedia
- 16. ● Linear text refers to traditional text that needs to be read from beginning to the end while nonlinear text refers to text that does not need to be read from beginning to the end. ● Hypermedia, an extension of the term hypertext, is a nonlinear medium of information that includes graphics, audio, video, plain text and hyperlinks.
- 17. C. Independent versus social learners
- 18. ● Individual learning lets students work at their own pace, which has positives and negatives. Some students will finish quickly and either feel accomplished or be bored in class.
- 19. ● Teaching collaborative learning takes planning, maybe more in the secondary setting. Teachers must explain expectations and assign different roles for each group member. Teachers must monitor students so they stay on task.
- 20. Pros of Individual Learning - Students can learn on their own time and level. - There’s no pressure to reach group academic goals before fully grasping the essence of what they’re learning. - Helps children develop self-confidence, high self-esteem, and self-motivation.
- 21. - By choosing individualized learning, it helps the student understand their strengths and weaknesses. - It also helps them to discover their interests early in life. - Individual learning encourages them to learn time management, self-discipline, and other essential organizational skills.
- 22. Cons of Individual Learning - Individual learning isn’t a perfect model for children as it limits communication with other learners and social cohesiveness. - Some children will learn better by interacting with others than by learning independently. Again, independent learning limits the child’s ability to learn teamwork.
- 23. - Since individual learning allows kids to learn at their pace, it can be time-consuming, especially for slow learners. - It also takes extra effort to develop teaching plans and materials to suit every child’s needs.
- 24. Pros of Group Learning - Group learning helps kids to learn from their peers. - With group learning, kids learn teamwork. - They learn what ideas or opinions to adopt by developing their critical thinking skills.
- 25. - Collaborative learning ensures that they develop problem-solving skills. That’s because every child in the group must contribute to puzzling out the problem before them. - The more they interact, the more they learn to acknowledge and accept the cultural identities of other kids.
- 26. Cons of Group Learning - The first disadvantage of collaborative learning is that it doesn’t help students learn at their own pace. - Sometimes, they may develop low self-esteem by comparing themselves to others who learn faster. - Group learning means that someone may have to be in charge of the team. - Another problem with collaborative learning is that introverts will feel uncomfortable.
- 27. D. Learning to do versus learning to pass the test
- 28. D. Learning to do versus learning to pass the test ● Learning to do - It means understanding the facts, concepts, instructions, knowledge to perform some kind of work or activity. Learning to do helps us in mastering a particular task or activity and hence makes us capable of earning a livelihood.
- 29. D. Learning to do versus learning to pass the test ● Learning to pass the test - Studying to pass an exam is when you check the syllabus, mark the pages, consult the previous years paper, mark the important questions, read the material, answer the important questions in your head, take the exam and forget all about it the next sem. And if you have a doubt, you ask a teacher/senior.
- 30. E. Rote memory versus Fun learning
- 31. ● It's a type of brain exercise that enhances neuroplasticity, improves memory and changes the way your brain works ● Rote learning has been shown to change the brain's structure and improve its ability to retain information for longer periods of time
- 32. More disadvantages associated with rote memorization include: ● Easy loss of focus ● No use of social skills during rote learning ● Promotes short-term memory instead of long-term recall
- 33. ● It's repetitive and tedious. Students may lose interest after a time ● It doesn't encourage students to grow, explore, and think out of the box ● Critical thinking skills do not have the chance to develop with memorization
- 34. ● Meaningful learning is defined as a method of gaining foundational knowledge and critical thinking by building on top of what was previously learned. Students make connections between the new information and older lessons.
- 35. There are five characteristics that make meaningful learning an effective teaching method: active, collaborative, constructive, authentic and goal-directed. ● Active learning involves students independently using technology regularly or self-directed.
- 36. ● Collaborative learning means students team up while using conventional digital tools to complete assignments. ● Constructive learning focuses on using technology to build new information on top of knowledge received in the past.
- 37. ● Authentic learning entails using digital tools to connect activities outside of the classroom setting. ● Goal-directed learning incorporates goals and activities with monitored tasks to finish homework assignments.
