EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY LESSON 1: THE DEFINITIONS OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY o o o o o It is a theory about how problems in human learning are identified and solved. (David Jonassen, Kyle Peck Brent Wilson) It is a complex, integrated process involving people, procedures, ideas, devices and organizations for analyzing problems and devising, implementing, evaluating and managing solutions to the problems in all aspects of human learning. (AECT) It is a field involved in applying a complex, integrated process to analyze and solve problems in human learning. (Jonassen et. al 1999) It is a field study which is concerned with the practice of using educational methods and resources for ultimate goal of facilitating learning process. (Lucido and Borabo, 1997) It is consisting of designs and environments that engage learners and reliable technique or method for engaging learning such as cognitive learning strategies and critical thinking skills. (David H. Jonassen) TERMS ASSOCIATED WITH EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY Technology in Education – application of technology to any of those process involved in operating the institutions which house the educational enterprise. Refers to the integration of selected technology in the managerial operation pf the school which may include but are not limited to student registration, computer program for encoding of grades, section assignment and scheduling, etc. Module 6 │Educational Technology 2|Page Instructional Technology – refers to those aspects of technology that are concerned with constructions as contrasted ton designs and operations of educational institutions.

Supports Research Exploration of Information to Enhance Learning It serves as a form of scaffold the learner’s quest of clarifying and enhancing knowledge. Supports Practical Application of Knowledge It provides a safe venue to practice learning through simulated learning programs such as “Flight Simulator” for those who are learning to become a pilot. 4. Supports Learning by Social Contact and Communication - It provides means to facilitate social communication despite great distances and thus create a classroom through electronic contact. 5. Provides a Good Cognitive Sidekick - It allows the learner to manipulate technology itself on ways that can best fit the cognitive or intellectual uniqueness of the learner. ELEMENTS IN TEACHING SYSTEMATICALLY IN EDTECH 1. Identification of instructional objectives. 2. Instructional analysis of the goal: breakdown the instructional content of the goal. 3. Analysis of entry behaviors (what learners already know) and learner’s characteristics (subordinate skills): review learner’s previous knowledge and characteristics. 4. Identification of performance objectives: enumerate the Performance Indicators for attained objectives. 5. Develop assessment instruments: e.g. criterion-referenced test items. 6. Develop an instructional strategy. 7. Preparation (development or selection) of instructional materials. This include a sequence of intermediary objectives to reach the learning activities for each sequence. 8. Design and conduct a formative evaluation of instruction. 9. Revise instruction whenever necessary. 10. Design and conduct summative evaluation.

GUIDELINES IN THE EFFICIENT USE OF INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS 1. Teacher Readiness Module 6 │Educational Technology 4|Page As a teacher, you should familiarize yourself to the lesson objectives, content, strategies, and methods of teaching to be used. 2. - Student Readiness Associate the lesson to the student’s previous knowledge of related topic. Translate lesson objectives into question to guide then students of what to aim for. Set a specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time bounded (SMART) expectation that the students must reach at the end of the lesson. 3. - Material Readiness Reserve, prepare and practice the use of materials ahead of time. Check the operability of the chosen materials. Consider your expertise in the use of your chosen materials. 4. Evaluate and Follow-up - Perform related evaluation to check the attainment of goals and objectives then supplement, revise or proceed to the next topic as appropriate. If the objective is partially met: supplement the lesson If the objective is not met: revise the lesson content and strategies If the objective is completely met: proceed to the next lesson TYPES OF LEARNING 1. Rote Learning Refers to the lowest form of learning according to Hierarchy of Blooms Taxonomy of Cognitive Domain/Learning. It is otherwise known as “memorization” or “recall”. 2. Meaningful Learning Refers to the learning that is built upon what is previously known by the learner. Information is built upon and associated to previous ones. 3. Discovery Learning - Refers to the learning by discovery. - It leads the students to discover and uncover facts, findings and answers by following a set of instructions from the teacher. 4. Generative Learning - Refers to generating meaning from the learning experience. - It is the stage of learning where learners are able to explain what they understood according to their terms. - They can usually come up with their own structure of explaining the logical relationships of their learning experiences. 5. Constructivism Refers to the teaching philosophy where the learner’s understanding of the topic is used to construct new learning or information. Module 6 │Educational Technology 5|Page CONVENTIONAL vs. MODERN MODELS OF LEARNING CONVENTIONAL TABULA RASA: Teacher is the pitcher of knowledge and students are the empty glasses. TEXT BOOK: based learning Factual and Trivial Information (Divergent) Product Oriented (strict with the results conforming to standards) Focused on Quantitative Assessment MODERN CONSTRUCTIVISM: Teacher facilitates the students in building knowledge from what is previously known Various sources including the Internet Discovery Method of Learning (Convergent) Process Oriented (encourages the mastery of the process with tolerance to errors in the result, considering the improvement of the same results through practice) Uses both Quantitative and Qualitative REMINDERS IN THE PREPARATION AND USE OF THE LEARNING MATERIALS 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Start with objectives Write a clear outline of presentation or discussion Use homogenous or same format and layout Be simple and direct to the point. Use colors, animations, graphics, pictures and sounds to encourage attention but not strain the senses DALE OF EXPERIENCE Consider the description of Dale on the relationship of sensory experience to learning and retention. It is only an attempt to explain the amount of information retention according to the type of learning activity but it doesn’t strictly impose that learning activities must follow the order as it is found in the diagram form the base to the tip of the cone. Learning activities must be done as variation of activities from anywhere in the cone for as long as it is aligned to the learning objectives. Module 6 │Educational Technology 6|Page TYPES OF GRAPHS (CHARTS) Graph refers to the diagrammatical and accurate presentation of a given data. It can be: 1. Pie Graph – used to describe how a whole set of data is divided to its parts or particular share such as in budgeting. 2. Bar Graph – used to show the comparative differences of one data to another such as the level of passing rates in different schools. 3. Line Graph – shows the linear relation of rise and fall of a data within the same element being described in a set of timelines such as in showing the Board Exam performance of a certain school for the past 10 years. 4. Pictograph – shows the relationships of one data over the other by showing a picture or image representing the said data such as showing the military power of a nation in terms of Army (image of tank), Navy (image of Warship), and Air Force (image of War Plane) with its corresponding number. Module 6 │Educational Technology 7|Page LESSON 2: TECHNOLOGY: BOON OR BANE? TECHNOLOGY Boon Bane With technology, there is a lot that a man can do which we could not do then. When technology is misused, it could destroy relationships. Cellphones and webcam: makes us closer to someone who is miles away from us. We spend more time in using cellphones than doing more important and valuable things in studies or works. A teacher may misuse educational televisions in a class when he/she lets these technologies replace him/her just to kill time Television: enables us to watch and be updated with worldwide events In teaching, multimedia in the classroom makes the teachinglearning process a novel, simulating, exciting and engaging one. Technology becomes a detriment to learning and development when not used properly. LESSON 3: ROLES OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY IN LEARNING Traditional Role Technology serves as source and presenter of knowledge- “knowledge is embedded in technology and technology presents the knowledge to the student. Technology is seen as productivity tool. Module 6 │Educational Technology Constructivist Way Educational Technology serves as learning tools that learners learn with“it engages learners as active, constructive, intentional, authentic and cooperative learning”. Technology is not merely a delivery vehicle for content, rather used as a facilitator of thinking and knowledge construction. 8|Page LESSON 4: SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO TEACHING Define Objective Choose appropriate methods Refine the process Choose appropriate experiences Evaluate outecomes Implement the Instruction Assign personnel roles Select materials, equipment and facilities LESSON 5: THE CONE OF EXPERIENCE Verbal Symbol Visual Symbols Recordings, Radio, Still Pictures Motion Pictures Educational Television Exhibits Study Trips Demonstrations Contrived Experience Module 6 │Educational Technology Direct Purposeful Experience 9|Page LESSON 6: USING AND EVALUATING INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS PREPARATION OF SELF PREPARATION OF STUDENTS PRESENTATION OF MATERIALS FOLLOW-UP Module 6 │Educational Technology Gain attention Provide learner guidance Inform learner of objectives Stimulate recall of prior learning Present stimulus materials Elicit performance Provide feedback Assess performance Enhance retention transfer 10 | P a g e LESSON 7: DIRECT PURPOSEFUL EXPERIENCES Module 6 │Educational Technology 11 | P a g e LESSON 8: TEACHING WITH CONTRIVED EXPERIENCES Module 6 │Educational Technology 12 | P a g e LESSON 9: TEACHING WITH DRAMATIZED EXPERIENCES DRAMATIZED EXPERIENCES These are experiences which are omething stirring, affecting or moving Puppets- can present ideas with extreme simplicity without elaborate scenery or costume yet effective.
