The roles of educational technology in learning
This document discusses two ways that technology can be used in learning: traditionally and constructively. Traditionally, technology serves as a teacher delivering instructional lessons to learners. Constructively, technology helps learners build their own understanding by serving as a partner during the learning process, allowing learners to gather, analyze, and make meaning from the information presented. The document provides examples of traditional tech uses like film showings and examples of constructive uses like hands-on computer activities.

Technology introduces new learning environments, transforming traditional education.
Technology serves either as a traditional instructor or as a collaborative learning partner.
In the traditional model, technology acts as the teacher, delivering content to learners.
Constructivist approach: technology aids learners in creating personal meaning through active engagement.
Technology's diverse roles: tools for knowledge construction, exploration, social interaction, and reflection.
Examples: film showings, seminars, and basic presentations where technology leads but learners passively receive.
Examples: hands-on projects and activities where technology actively engages students in learning processes.

- 3. Traditional Way •Here, the learner learns “from” the technology and technology serves as a teacher. • The learner learns the content presented by the technology in the same way the learner learns knowledge presented by the teacher.
- 4. Constructivist Way •Here, technology helps the learner build more meaningful personal interpretations of life and his/her world. • Technology is a “learning tool to learn with, not from”. • It makes the learner gather, think, analyze, synthesize information and construct meaning with what technology presents. • Technology serves as a medium in representing what the learner knows what he/she is learning.
- 5. Roles of technologyin learning based on the Constructivist perspective: • Technology as tools to support knowledge construction. • Technology as information vehicles for exploring knowledge to support learning –by-constructing. • Technology as “context to support learning-by-doing”. • Technology as a “social medium” to support learning by conversing • Technology as “intellectual partners” to support learning-by-reflecting.
- 6. Traditional Approach (Technologyas Teacher) • Film Showing • Seminar about Photo Editing and Photography • Science Exhibit • Research (baby thesis) in English 2 • Teacher posting his/her lesson using manila paper while pupils are only listening to him. Her. • Teacher giving only the hand-outs of the topic. • Video Presentation about the tourist spot • Seminar on Homosexuality: Family Planning
- 7. Constructivist Approach (Technologyas partner in learning) • Assembling computer parts • Java Programming • ICT Laboratory Activities • Hands-on Activity on Computer • Typing Activity on MSDOS • Cooking Session in T.L.E. Class • Drafting • Cross-Stitch • Conducting Experimentation in Science classes.
