EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOY IN
21ST CENTURY EDUCATION
BY: SHEENA MAE LACERNA
• While it is difficult to make precise
predictions, it is quite likely that technology
we are totally unaware today may be
developed in the years following the turn of
the century. It may also be technology that
totally changes the way we think about the
world and the opportunities for the delivery of
effective and efficient education.
• Current Trends in Teaching and Learning in
the Future
• 1. Student-Centered Learning
• 2. Teaching Higher Cognitive and Non-
cognitive Skills
• 3. The Spread of New Information
Technology
• Student-Centered Learning:
• Education is shifting to a more student-centered
approaches
• The student-centered techniques will not replace
completely the teacher institution-centered approach
but there will be a slow and steady increase in the use
of student-centered learning within the traditional
system.
• To become competent, people must continue studying
• New forms of education delivery such as open-
university
• Teaching Higher Cognitive and Non-cognitive
Skills
• Increasing emphasis on group learning activities
• Group learning activities has been given further
impetus by the development of science and
technology-based games, simulation and case
studies
• Decision-making, communication and
interpretation skills are now regarded as the
essential part of a properly rounded education
• The Spread of New Information Technology
• IT in all its various forms and manifestations is
making an increasing impact on education
• IT is now becoming the current trend in
equipping quality education
• IT equipments are rapidly becoming cheap
• What is the role of computers in education?
What are the benefits of introducing
computers early in education?
• Computers in Education
• Computer technology has had a deep impact on the
education sector. Imparting education has become
easier and much more interesting than before. Owing
to memory capacities of computers, large chunks of
data can be stored in them. They enable quick
processing of data with very less or no chances of
errors in processing. Networked computers aid quick
communication and enable web access. Storing
documents on computers in the form of soft copies
instead of hard ones, helps save paper
• Computers are powerful, multifunctional
tools that fulfill many roles at all levels of
education. Computers are commonly used in
education for applications such as
communication, distributing education
materials, remote learning, performing class
work and admissions. In some cases computer
use may even be an educational requirement.
• The advantages of computers in education
primarily include:
• Storage of information
• Quick data processing
• Audio-visual aids in teaching
• Better presentation of information
• Access to the Internet
• Quick communication between students,
teachers and parents
• Computers are a brilliant aid in teaching.
• Computers can turn out being a brilliant aid in
teaching. Computers facilitate an audio-visual
representation of information, thus making
the process of learning interactive and
interesting. Computer-aided teaching adds a
fun element to education.
• Computer software help better presentation of
information. Computers facilitate effective presentation of
information. Presentation software like PowerPoint and
animation software like Flash among others can be of great
help to teachers while delivering lectures. Teachers hardly
use chalk and board today. They bring presentations on a
flash drive, plug it in to a computer in the classroom, and
the teaching begins. There’s color, there’s sound, there's
movement - the same old information comes forth in a
different way and learning becomes fun. The otherwise
not-so-interesting lessons become interesting due to audio-
visual effects. Due to the visual aid, difficult subjects can be
explained in better ways. Things become easier to follow .
• Computers enable access to the Internet which has information on
literally everything. Internet can play an important role in
education. As it is an enormous information base, it can be
harnessed for retrieval of information on a variety of subjects. The
Internet can be used to refer to information on different subjects.
Both teachers and students benefit from the Internet. Teachers can
refer to it for additional information and references on the topics to
be taught. Students can refer to web sources for additional
information on subjects of their interest. The Internet helps
teachers set test papers, frame questions for home assignments
and decide project topics. And not just academics, teachers can use
web sources for ideas on sports competitions, extracurricular
activities, picnics, parties and more.
• This was about the role of computers in education. But
we know, its not just the education sector which
computers have impacted. They are of great use in
every field. Today, a life without computers is
unimaginable. This underline the importance of
computer education. Knowledge of computers can
propel ones career in the right direction. Computers
area part of almost every industry today. They are no
longer limited any specific field. They are used in
networking, for information access and data storage
and also in the processing and presentation of
information.
