Evaluation of Educational Technology and Its Current Application

Objectives:
Define

terms operationally. Classify educational technology as to type and level. Give the importance of educational technology.

 Outline

the procedure in using specific educational technology. Judge educational technology based on approved criteria. Discuss the criteria in choosing educational technology.

 Evaluation Technology Educational

Technology Information and Communication Technology (ICT)

 An

integral part of teaching and learning process. A holistic approach. It must judge the strength of the content selected, the strategies and instructional materials used in teaching and learning.

science of the application of knowledge to practical purposes in a particular field.

is an application of the results of researches or scientific studies, which may be material or nonmaterial to improve teaching and learning. (Garo, 2004)

field of study of human learning and deals with complex, integrated process involving people, ideas, devices and strategies for analyzing problems and devising solutions to those problems.

With proper use and selection: Arouse and sustain the interest of the students. Concretize concept and ideas to promote meaningful learning. Provide self-activities for independent learning.

 Increase

ones vocabulary by eliminating verbalism. Promote continuity of thoughts. Increase the quality of learning while decreasing the time spent. Check students preparedness. Make learning more interactive.

The Synergy of Technology with Basic Learning Theories, Principles and Practices

It is a compound word taken from the word synchronized and energy. It implies that energy that comes from various sources were made to act simultaneously upon a certain teaching and learning situation.

 Digital

Literacy The ability to use computers and its application in learning. It implies that learning should not stop after schooling for learning is a life long process.

 Effective

Communication Skills Communication is a reciprocal influence of man which maybe face to face or through different media.

 Effective

Communication Skills It is the sharing of ideas, thoughts and emotions, therefore, it is a process of encoding and decoding concept and ideas.

 Critical

Thinking Skill This involves the HIGHER ORDER THINKING SKILLS (HOTS) like analyses, synthesis, and evaluation. The methods and strategies that are students-centered are the best to use since it promotes challenging activities.

 High

Productivity Skills Using technology, one can work faster and accurately, can design outputs with good aesthetic impressions. The ultimate goal of this skill is to be able to function well in ones own work milieu or environment.

 Social

Values Skills It involves the development of favorable relationship and concern for the welfare of each other.

 Social

Values Skills Teaching and learning must not only be technology-driven, it must be based on the needs of the learners during a specific stage of development.

 Constructivist

Theory Learning is an active process where learners acquire and construct new ideas and concept based on their past and current experiences and knowledge.

Note:

To learn is to experience.

 Cognitive

Learning Theory It is the act of knowing, therefore cognition involves higher mental process.

 Cognitive

Learning Theory 2 Major Foundation of Cognitive Functioning: Organization Adaptation

 Cognitive

Learning Theory Organizationa systematic arrangement of on perceptual and cognitive information into meaningful pattern called cognitive

structures.

 Cognitive

Learning Theory Adaptation- a process on which the person seeks balance what is being perceived, known and understood. It involves assimilation, the process of fitting the perceived and experience into existing cognitive structure.

 Systematic

Behavior Theory Behavior involves the interaction between the stimuli and the environment and the responses which the organism makes toward the stimuli.

 Principles

of Active Involvement It implies that learners must be focused and engaged directly with the task where the learner may gain knowledge, ideas and concept that may help in the learners development.

 Principles

of Connectivity This involves the building of relationship between and among experiences.

 Principles

of Integration This refer to the organization or putting together diverse elements to form a unified and harmonious concept.

 Principles

of Intention Learning does not take place unless the student has an intention for taking the activity.

 Principles

of Creativity and Innovation It refers to the ability to produce an original concept or idea and translate it to some forms of expression.

 Principles

of Discovery Learners feel accomplished if they were able to find a solution or discover by themselves. This is were the genuine learning happens.

 Principles

of Socialization The school must be a structure of a miniature society where in students learn the basics of living effectively in a society.

 Principles

of Understanding There is no learning comprehension.

without

 Principles

of Cooperative Process Learning is more impressive if the students share in planning and organizing the learning activities with the guidance of the teacher.
