CHAPTER 1:
ROLES OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY
IN THE 21ST CENTURY CLASSROOM
Lesson 1:
The concept about Educational
Tethnology
WHAT IS TECHNOLOGY?
Technology - derived from the two Greek words;
Technic -means art or skill.
Logia- means Science or Study
So simplest meaning of Technology is Science of study of an art
or skill.
WHAT IS EDUCATION?
Education- derived from the Latin word
Educatum- To bring out
Educare- which means to bring up or to raise.
• Education brings up or rears the individual.
Acc. to Ross, the word “education” is derived from
the Latin word

INTRODUCTION
Education technology is evolving a mile at a time.
There are no more excuses for teachers to wait for the
next best chance, devices to be granted to school,
students to be more ready. It is here and now that
every teacher must be tech-educated and implement
modern solutions in every class with no delay.
Here are some educational technology concepts
every modern teacher needs to be familiar with.
This chapter will help you
to understand the
concept about educational technology from
the past years to the present
century.
Technology in education is a service concept
in the service of agriculture of farmers
or science in the service of mankind.
It refers to the use of equipment
and machines for educational purposes.
Educational technology is a wider term than technology in
education.
It includes hardware approach, software approach
and systems approach.
Educational Technology classified into two heads:
Technology of Education and Technology in Education.
Purpose of Technology in Education
To improve the quality of education and enhance the learning
process.
Technology of Education
It’s inherent in education itself.
Refers to the application of behavioral sciences
psychology of educational theories and practical teaching.
It concerned with the study of
educational problems and the techniques
Technology of education, derived from psychology of
learning.
Techniques in technology of education
1. Analysis of instructional problems.
2. Selection of instruments for evaluation
3. Strategies to obtain desired result from the
teaching-learning process.
4. Teacher behaviour.
5. Programmed learning.
6. System analysis.
Technology in Education
Technology in education include electronic media
projector,
film, radio, T.V, teaching machine, computer,
internet.
Technology in education is application of
engineering principles and technology in process of
education.
Silverman (1968) - educational technology as
“Relative Technology‟ technology of education as
“Constructive Educational Technology‟.
Example
NEED FOR AND IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATIONAL
TECHNOLOGY
1. Population Explosion
· Populations of Asian countries are increasing at a
very fast speed.
·
2. Fast Generation of New knowledge
New knowledge is expanding at a very fast speed.
3. Development of new strategies
Helped to develops new strategies in the field of
education like,
a. Microteaching (inculcation of teaching skills
among teachers),
b. Programmed instruction (Preparation of
instructional materials in written
c. Instructional analysis (analysis of teaching
materials into convenient parts to be presented to
students one by one) and use of hardware
technology in education etc.
4. Controlled Atmosphere
Education cant be treated as plaything teachers
5. Importance of Teacher’s role
It emphasizes theories & Principles of teaching.
6. Mass extension of Model teaching
Radio television interested in new large scale.
7. Advantages to private students
Universities give permission to students for
private examinations.
8. Beneficial for teacher training colleges
Branch of education emphasize on teacher’s
behaviour.
9. Improvement of school Administration
Analyze the problems of school
administration scientifically.
10. Preservation of knowledge
Preserve knowledge in audio and video
cassettes.
11. Development of teaching models
Can led the development of teaching
theories.
12. Creation of Interesting learning
situations
Transform the teaching-learning process
from burden.
UTILITY / USE OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY FOR
TEACHERS
1. It has provided scientific and systematic approach
Teachers conduct action research in classroom
situations.
Overcome classroom problems related to classroom
curriculum
2. Help teacher’s modernize and mechanize
learning process.
Help learners to study their own speed,
with the help of programmed instruction on video
or computers.
3. ET supplements the teacher, with AV-aids to
make the teaching-learning process more
effective.
4. It helps in teacher’s professional growth.
5. Add to their teaching competence,
modify their teaching behaviour and style,
inculcate a scientific outlook, approach & attitude
and help them transfer these to their learners.
6. ET supplements teacher in their instructional
program through the structured lessons for
remedial, enrichment or drill purposes.
7. The learners get the training of self-instruction
and teachers are relieved of the burden
of routine repetition for exercise & revision
purposes.
Revolution and Development of Educational
Technology
First Revolution:
• Shifting the task of educating the young ones
from parents to teacher and from home to schools.
Second Revolution:
• Revolution of adoption of the written word
as a tool of education.
Third Revolution:
• Result of invention of printing and availability
of books and other teaching-learning material.
Fourth Revolution:
• Revolution on account of development in
electronic, chiefly involving radio, television,
cassette recorder and computer, and
development of systems concept
Origin of Educational Technology
Sidney Press of a University
in Ohio, America
used teaching machine in the
field of teaching in 1926.
B.S bloom (1956) was
introduced the taxonomy of
educational objectives.
1930-40 Lumsdain and Glaser- Mechanized education
(Models of teaching).
1950- B.F Skinner’s Programmed Learning.
1950- Bryn more in England the term „Educational
Technology‟.
In 1960 Flanders introduced the concept of
interaction analysis model of teaching.
Micro-teaching technique first adopted at Stanford
University in USA (1961) by W. Allen et.al.
Personalized System of Instruction (PSI) was first
introduced by Keller in 1965.
Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) was
developed by O.K Moore in 1966
Characteristics of Educational Technology
1. ET has contributed to developing various
methods
e.g., Microteaching method, Interaction analysis,
Audio Visual Aids and Programmed learning
method.
2. In the field of ET, Psychology, Science and
technology, system, art, AV aids and machines
are used.
3. It is based on the application of the
scientific knowledge.
4. It is helpful in making the teaching process
objective, easy, clear, interesting, and
scientific.
5. It is a continuous dynamic technology.
6. It is an important medium of
communication.
7. A desired change is possible in the behaviour of
teachers and students.
