Information and Communication Technology in Education

"The three generations of cognitive-behaviourist, social constructivist, and

connectivist pedagogy are examined, using the familiar community of inquiry model
(Garrison, Anderson, & Archer, 2000) with its focus on social, cognitive, and teaching
presences”

As stated by many responses that technology changes the pace and method
of teaching, learning including our lifestyle and new laws need to be established in
accordance to our digital environment. Winston and Edelbach (2011) theorize that
the world is now experiencing a technological revolution.

I believe that constructivism constructs knowledge in cognitive stages, and

pragmatism builds knowledge on learners’ past experiences. Pragmatists may
possess past relevant technological knowledge that may be useful to conduct
research on the complexities of online learning. I argue that the learning paradigm
shift follows the cycle of constructivism, social constructivism, and then pragmatism.
The cycle will go back to social constructivism when a new demarcation point for
learning process is integrated, which includes all the influential factors, such as
technological tools.

Finally, I do agree that ICT in Education should be proposed throughout next

generation. Because ICT Education promotes Learning by doing approach, enables
self-paced learning, provides access to wide range of up-to-date learning materials,
enriches learning through a combination of audio, video, images, text and animation,
enhances learning through interaction and collaboration and provides a platform
that engages students.
