B. DISCUSSION

One Greek Philosopher in the name of Heraclitus once said that “Man cannot step on
the same river twice”. This means that life is in a constant change. In order to survive, one
should be able to adopt the changes in society. The 21 st century is characterized by the
birth of Information Communication Technology. It provides opportunities to discover and
create useful resources that makes information available in our finger tips.

The advent of technology brings about a lot of changes in

our daily lives especially in our encounter with different
people in society. It gradually influence our lifestyle and our
value system. For some, it makes life easier and
comfortable. It gives them a sense of freedom and ease. Yet
for some, it also causes more complications and a distortion
of the traditional way of living. Hence, our attitude towards
technology should be very reflective in order to discern its
real purpose in our lives.

To understand further, let us define some important terminologies related to technology.

1. Technology

 the application of scientific knowledge to the practical aims of human life or, as it is
sometimes phrased, to the change and manipulation of the human environment.
(https://www.britannica.com/technology/technology) .
 the branch of knowledge that deals with the creation and use of technical means
and their interrelation with life, society, and the environment, drawing upon such
subjects as industrial arts, engineering, applied science, and pure science.
(https://www.dictionary.com/browse/technology)

2. Information and Communication

Information
 stimuli that has meaning in some context for its receiver. When information is
entered into and stored in a computer, it is generally referred to as data. After
processing (such as formatting and printing), output data can again be perceived
as information. ( https://searchsqlserver.techtarget.com/definition/information)
 Any fact or set of facts, knowledge, news, or advice, whether communicated by
others or obtained by personal study and investigation; any datum that reduces
uncertainty about the state of any part of the world; intelligence; knowledge
derived from reading, observation, or instruction. (
https://www.definitions.net/definition/Information)

Communication

 process of sending and receiving messages

through verbal or nonverbal means, including
speech, or oral communication; writing and
graphical representations (such as
infographics, maps, and charts); and signs,
signals, and behavior.

communication-1689877)

3. Educational Technology

 the study and ethical practice of facilitating learning and improving

performance by creating, using and managing appropriate technological
processes and resources.

 systematic, iterative process for designing instruction or training used to

improve performance.

 involves the disciplined application of knowledge for the purpose of improving

learning, instruction and/or performance. (
https://educationaltechnology.net/definitions-educational-technology/#)

Purpose of Educational Technology

 The main purpose of educational technology is to improve the main quality of

education an enhance the learning process. As it highlights effectiveness and
efficiency, educational technology should help augment the teaching and
learning process in enhancing the performance of educational systems.

Components of Educational Technology

1. Design
2. Development
3. Utilization
4. Management
5. Evaluation

4. Media
 (plural form of medium) – It pertains to
the means of communication which
carries any information form the source
to a receiver.
 the main means of mass communication
(broadcasting, publishing, and the
Internet) regarded collectively.
 communication outlets or tools used to
store and deliver information or data.
 refers to components of the mass media communications industry, such as print
media, publishing, the news media, photography, cinema, broadcasting (radio
and television), and advertising. (Wikipedia.com)

TYPES OF MEDIA

1. Print Media

This is consist of paper and ink which is reproduced in a printing

process and is done mechanically.
( Examples are Newspaper, books, magazine, comics and brochures)

2. Broadcast Media
This type of media includes radio and television that reach its target
through the airwaves as the transmission medium. ( Examples:
Television, radio, satellites, mobile phones, movies and films)

3. Digital or New Media

This type of media has contents that are organized and distributed on
digital platforms. Digital refers to something that used digits,
particularly binary digits. ( Examples : Interconnected Network
( Internet), social media, computers,

II. ROLES OF ICT IN TEACHING AND LEARNING

According to Sharma, A., Gandhar, K., Sharma, S., and Seema S. (2011), Information
Communication and Technology is very essential because it facilitates self-paced learning using
various tools such as assignments and computers among others. It helps the teaching learning
enterprise become more productive and meaningful. Using email, chalk session, e-learning ,
web-based learning including internet, intranet , extranet, CD-ROM, TV audio-videotape, ICT
keeps the students updated and enabled teachers to capacitate themselves and foster more
engagement with the students.

FUNCTIONS OF ICT IN EDUCATION

Sanjay Kumar of Central University of Himachal Pradesh identified the following

functions of Information and Communication Technology in Education:

1. ICT as object, it refers to learning about ICT, mostly organized in a specific course. What is
being learned depends on the type of education and the level of students. Education
prepares students for the use of ICT in education, future occupation and social life.
2. ICT as an ‘assisting tool’. ICT is used to as a tool, for example, while making assignments,
collecting data and documentation, communicating and conducting research. Typically, ICT
is used independently from the subject matter.
3. ICT as a medium for teaching and learning. This refers to ICT as a tool for teaching and
learning itself, the medium through which teachers can teach and learners can learn.
4. ICT as a tool for organization and management in schools.

ADVANTAGES
 Students can use ICT to organize their work and make it more clear
 ICT can support different teaching methods, this varies the way students can learn

 Some computer programs such as teaching programs provide immediate feedback on

work completed by students
 Some applications can save time and effort
 Encourages collaborative work, so students can work together

DISADVANTAGES
 ICT equipment is expensive and needs trained staff to maintain it correctly
 Hardware can be unreliable leading to breakdowns which cause frustration
 Using ICT means children can become dependent on computers and technology and not
learn how to do things by hand
 internet can lead to children accessing unsuitable sites
 Plagiarism has increased as students find pre written work online leading to students
gaining unfair results on coursework

C. EVALUATION

Activity 1: Group Activity - Learners' Charter - a collaborative exercise

In this activity you will experience the power of collaboration by developing a Learners'
Charter with your group. You will produce one collaborative online document. Follow
these guidelines to complete this activity.

1. Your brief is, through the use of an online collaborative document, to develop a
Learners' Charter. Imagine that this Charter is developed by learners who wish to
assert their rights to learn effectively with ICT integration.

2. First brainstorm the issues that should be raised in the Charter i.e. what are
learners' rights to effective teaching and learning with ICT? Identify the rights
that you think learners should have to effective teaching with ICT.

3. Evaluate the contributions and identify one item that you would like to add to the
charter - one sentence that makes a statement in support of how learners should be
able to learn with ICT. 

4. As the process unfolds reflect on the process and, if necessary, discuss with the
group how the process can be improved. You are a collaborative group, so you have
to solve problems collaboratively as well.

5. Provide input to each sponsored sentence and try to improve it and make it more
effective and correct as a sentence that describes the rights of learners who learn
with ICT. Be critical and positive in your comment. Make sure that everyone
understands the issues the way that you do.

6. Your moderator will facilitate this process as necessary and provide a timeframe
for this activity.

7. Complete this activity by making reflective comments in your blog/post about the

online collaborative exercise as well as the Learners' Charter.
