Roles of Technology for

Teaching and Learning


Module 1 Lesson 3
3 domains of educational technology

• Technology as a tutor.
Together with the teacher, technology can support the teacher to
teach another person or technology when programmed by the teacher
can be a tutor on its own.
The teacher will simply switch on or switch off radio programs,
television programs or play DVDs, or CDs that contain educational
programs. There are on-line tutorial educational programs too.
3 domains of educational technology

• Technology as a teaching tool.


Like a tutor, technology is a teaching tool, but can never replace a
teacher. This is like the handyman, which is just there to be reached. Like
any other tool, it is being used to facilitate and lighten the work of the
teacher.
It will be good if the teacher can also create or develop technology
tool that are needed in the classroom.
3 domains of educational technology

• Technology as a learning tool.


While the teacher utilizes technology as the tool for teaching,
likewise it is an effective tool for learning. As a learning tool, it makes
learning easy and effective. It can produce learning outcomes that call
for technology-assisted teaching. Even the teachers who are teaching
can utilize similar tools for learning. As a learning tool. It is very
interesting that even the elderly use these tools for learning for life.
A. For Teachers and Teaching

1.Technology provides enormous support to the teacher as the


facilitator of learning.
2.Technology has modernized the teaching-learning environment.
3.Technology improves teaching-learning process and ways of teaching.
4.Technology opens new fields of educational researches.
5.Technology adds to the competence of teachers and inculcates
scientific outlooks.
6.Technology support teacher professional development.
B. For Learners and Learning

1.Support learners to learn how to learn on their own.


Three categories of knowledge (Egbert 2009):
a. Declarative knowledge
b. Structural knowledge
c. Procedural knowledge
B. For Learners and Learning
2. Technology enhances learners’ communication skills through
social interactions. This is commonly described as the transmittal of
information from one person to another as single individual or groups
of individual.

Three basic communication patterns (Shirly in Egbert 2009):


a. Point to point two-way or one-to-one
b. One-to-may outbound
c. Many-to-many
B. For Learners and Learning
• Social interaction occurs in two ways where the participants ask for
clarification, argue, challenge each other and work towards common
understanding.
• Social interaction through communication occurs
• through technology (directly between two persons via email, a cell phone or
other communication technology)
• It can also occur around technology like students discussing about a problem
posed by a software program
• Or with support of technology like teachers and students interacting about the
worksheet printed from a website.
In all the three modalities, communication occurs and technology is involved.
What are the benefits derived from
technology-supported communication?
• Enables any teacher to guide the learners virtually and making learning unlimited because
communication and social interaction go beyond a school day or a school environment
• Enhances students’ freedom to express and exchange ideas freely without the snooping eyes of
the teacher face to face
• Enables learners to construct meaning from joint experiences between the two or more
participants in communication
• Help learners solve problems from multiple source since there is limitless sources of information
that the teacher can direct or refer to the learners
• Teaches learners to communicate with politeness, taking turns in sending information and giving
appropriate feedback
• Enhances collaboration by using communication strategies with wider community and
individuals in a borderless learning environment
• Develops critical thinking, problem solving and creativity throughout the communication
B. For Learners and Learning

3. Technology upgrades learners’ higher-order-thinking skills: critical thinking,


problem solving and creativity.
 Critical thinking is a part of the cluster of higher order thinking skills. It refers to
the ability to interpret, explain, analyze, evaluate, infer and self-regulate in order
to make good decisions. With the use of technology, one will be able to evaluate
the credibility of the source, ask appropriate questions, become open-minded,
defend a position on an issue and draw conclusion with caution. All of these
competencies are covered by Bloom’s Taxonomy of Analysis, Synthesis and
Evaluation
• Creativity is characterized as involving the ability to think flexible,
fluently, originally and elaborately (Guildfor, 1989 & Torrance, 1974 in
Egber, 2009).
• Flexibly means able to use many points of view while fluently means able to
generate many ideas.
• Originally implies being able to generate new ideas and elaborately means
able to add details.

Creativity is not merely a set of technical skills, but it also involves feelings,
beliefs, knowledge and motivation.
Seven Creative Strategies

• Substitute – Find something else to replace to do what it does.


• Combine –Blend two things that do not usually go together
• Adapt – Look for other ways this can be used.
• Modify/Magnify/Minify – Make a change, enlarge, decrease
• Put to another use – Find other uses
• Eliminate – Reduce, remove
• Reverse – turn upside-down, inside-out, front-side back

All together, the strategies will be labelled as SCAMPER
