Now, prepare yourself to explore and learn about Role of Technology for Learners and Learning.
Discussion:
Role of Technology for Learners and Learning
1. Technology support learners to learn how to learn on their own. All teachers fully understand that subject matter or content is a means to achieve the learning outcomes.
There are three categories of knowledge according to Egbert (2009): declarative knowledge, Structural knowledge, and procedural knowledge.
a. Declarative knowledge
- It consists of the discrete pieces of information that answers the questions what, who, when, and where, it is often learned through memorization of facts, drills, and practice.
- It can be learned by simple mnemonics or conceptual maps.
Mnemonic devices are techniques a person can use to help them improve their ability to remember something.
Example of Mnemonic Devices:
Acronym
-a word created from the first letter of a group of words or names.
Acrostic
-It can be a sentence or a whole phrase instead of just one word.
b. Structural knowledge
- It consists of facts or pieces of declarative knowledge put together to attain some form of meaning. An example of declarative knowledge is “pencil”. The idea that evolved from a pencil is an understanding that: “it is something used to write.” This is referred to as structural knowledge.
- It can be presented by concept, maps, categorization, or classification.
c. Procedural knowledge
- It is knowledge in action or the knowledge of how to do something. It is based on facts but learned through the process of procedural knowledge.
- Examples include how to drive a car, how to use a cell phone, or how to speak English.
- Procedural knowledge is indicated by a performance task or graphical representation of a concept.
But how can technology support the learning of declarative, structural, or procedural knowledge?
Technology may be the answer; however, the challenge is for teachers to use technology to learn the technology first.
The teacher can guide the students to look for the resources and to utilize them appropriately. There are varied programs that can be used by students offline of online for students. What should be necessary as that the students are engaged, the tasks should focus on questions like how, why and which in addition to who, what, when and where.
The teacher will integrate values by sharing bible verse to the class:
Proverbs 2:6
“For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.”
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 individuals, According to Shidy (2003) in Egbert (2009),there are three basic communication patterns:
● a. Point to point two-way or one-to-one like internet chat, phone conversation or even face-to-face conversation,
● b. One-to-many outbound like a lecture or television. There is no social interaction.
● c. Many-to-many like group discussion, buzz session, heads together. This kind of interaction provides opportunities for social interaction.
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 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.
For this role, what are the benefits derived from technology supported communication?
● Enables any teacher to guide the learners virtually and makes 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.
● Enhances learners to construct meaning from joint experiences between the two or more participants in communication.
● Help learners to construct meaning from joint experiences between the two or more participants in communication.
● Help learners to solve problems from multiple sources since there are limitless sources of information that the teacher can direct or refer to learners.
● Teaches learners to communicate with politeness. taking turns in sending information and giving appropriate feedback
● Enhances collaboration by using communication strategies with wider communities and individuals in a borderless learning environment.
● Develops critical thinking. problem solving and creativity throughout the communication.
3. Technology upgrades learners’ higher-order-thinking skills: critical thinking. problem solving and creativity. Twenty-first century learning requires the development of higher-order thinking skills. Technology has a great role in the development and enhancement of these skills.
Critical thinking is 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 a source, ask appropriate questions, become open minded, defend a position on an issue and draw conclusions with caution. All these competencies are covered by Bloom's Taxonomy of Analysis, Synthesis and Evaluation.
The teacher will integrate values by sharing bible verse to the class:
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
