EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY

Educational

Technology is the systematic application of scientific knowledge to teaching, learning and conditions of learning to improve the efficiency of teaching and training. G.O.M Leith

“Educational

Technology can be understood as meaning of the development of a set of systematic technique, and accompanying practical knowledge for deg testing and operating school as educational systems.”

ROBERT M GAGNAE

Indian educationalist S.S Kulkarni

•Educational Technology may be defined as the application of the laws as well as recent discoveries of science and technology to the process of education.

E T as the Fourth Revolution in Education • Eric Ashby calls present technological development as Fourth Revolution in Education • Oral teaching, invention of writing, invention of printing are first, second and third revolutions respectively • Fourth revolution include-development in electronics, the radio, tape recorder, television, etc.

Objectives of Educational technology • • • •

• • •

To identify educational needs and aspirations of community. To determine the aims of education To develop a suitable curriculum with interaction of science, art, and human values. To develop certain models leading to improvement of the process of teaching and learning. To develop the appropriate aids and equipment to meet the educational purpose. To help in extending educational opportunities to the masses especially the neglected section of the community. To manage the whole educational system covering Planning, implementation and the evaluation phases.

Advantage of Educational technology •Individualised instruction •Improvement in the quality of teaching •Meeting the problem of mass education •Equalising educational opportunity •Providing continuing education

TECHNOLOGY OF EDUCATION VS TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION

Technology in Education 



The term Technology in Education refers to the use of technological advancement such as various equipment, material and machines for educational purpose It involves audio visual equipment, hardware and sophisticated electronic devices like projectors, films, radio, television , tape recorder, teaching machines, teletext and computer aided instruction for individualised and group learning.

Technology of Education 

• Technology of education is the incorporation of IT into the realm of classroom.



The technology of education or educational technology cannot limit itself to the role of service as confined in the case of technology in education. The term, technology of education, does not represent something added or helped from outside as in the case of technology in education. But it signifies a system or technological approach to the problems of education.

Technology in Education  Technology in Education is thus a service concept like technology in the service of farming or agriculture or science in the service of mankind

Technology OF Education  The

technology of education cannot be viewed as a synonym to A/V aids and other different equipment. The technology of education must mean itself as system for bringing improvement in the total process of teachinglearning by carefully analysing its problems and reorganizing all available resources in an economic way for obtaining the optimum results.

Hardware approach & Software approach

Hardware approach 

Hardware Approach has physical science and applied engineering as its basis.



Hardware approach in education is the view of Finn and his colleagues.



Hardware Approach has mechanised the whole teachinglearning process.

Software approach 

In software approach, the basis of all thinking and working is behavioural science and psychology of learning ,that is its origin is in Behavioural Sciences and the applied aspects of Psychology of learning.



This approach to educational technology originated from the efforts of B.F.Skinner, Gagne and Norman.A.Crowder.



Software approach uses the principles of psychology for the purpose of behaviour modification.

Software approach

Hardware approach  Hardware

Approach adopts a Product-oriented Approach.



It is a Process-oriented Approach. It utilizes the knowledge of the Psychology of Learning to produce learning material, teaching – learning strategies, etc. for the betterment of the process of teaching-learning.

 Hardware



Software approach has no such wide application.



It improved the efficiency of both teachers and learners .However it lags behind in the task of reducing the cost of education.

technology has the potential to hand over the educational benefits to the mass with greater ease and economy.

 It

improved the efficiency of both teachers and learners and reducing the cost of education.

Hardware approch 

Hardware technology need the service of software technology for its use and functioning.



An example of appliances and gadgets used in hardware technology include-radio, television, taperecorder, video, slides and filim projectors, teaching machines and computer.

Software approch 

Software technology does not require any aid form the hardware technology for its delivery. It becomes more useful and productive when assisted by the Hardware Technology.



It includes teaching strategies, learning material, evaluation tools, teaching models, programmed instruction, teaching- learning strategy on psychology of learning etc.

A System ,Definition A set of things working together as parts of a mechanism or an interconnecting network; a complex whole.

System Approach 

A system is a set of inter-connected and inter-related elements directed to achieve certain goals.



It consists mainly of three aspects-input, process and output.



The input to a given teaching/learning system consists of people, resources and information.



The output consists of people whose performance or ideas have improved in desired way



Process consists of sequence of interdependent and linked procedures which, convert inputs into outputs..

System Approach 

This is the modern approach.



I—t acts as a link between hardware and software approach.



It is also known as 'Management Technology'. —



I—t has brought to educational management a scientific approach for solving educational istrative problems.

Systems Approach to education emphasizes 

Identifying and stating the goals to be achieved.



Identifying the processes, methods, techniques and strategies that may be most relevant to achieving the predetermined goals;



Building up theoretical foundation justifying the relevance of these processes to achieving the goals;



Determining specific interactions visualized existing among various other components of inputs;



Specifying the various kinds of controls needed in the total system at different points; and



Keeping the whole in mind all the time while preparing the model or the system.
