QUALITY of EDUCATION

THROUGH EDUCATIONAL
TECHNOLOGY
 Thirty years ago, students have
either had to borrow a large pile of books
from the Library and struggle home with
them on public transport. Literally spend
hours in drab atmosphere of a university
Library summarizing the relevant points in
each article.

With a Photocopier, now students can have

a copy of relevant sections of book’s and
articles and take them home for study.
 The Evolving Concept of Educational
Technology:

While we think that educational technology is

a phenomenon of the latter part of 20th
century, we find that one of the earliest
forms of educational technology was the
letter as a means communication.

TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION and a

TECHNOLOGY OF EDUCATION.
 TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION
is the popular impression of
audiovisual aids. In the early phase of development
of technology in education, the important side was
the hardware side.
 TECHNOLOGY OF EDUCATION
Initially, educational technology
had a distinctive engineering connotation since it’s
main thrust was the development of items of
electronic equipment for educational purposes.
The need to identify a sound
educational basis for the development of suitable
software led to a change in thinking in that
educational technology involved all aspects of the
design of teaching and learning situations.
 THE ROLE OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY

 Increasing the quality of learning or the

degree of mastery
 Decreasing the time taken for learners to
obtain desired learning objectives
 Increasing the efficiency of teachers in
terms of numbers of learning taught without
reducing the equality of learning
 Reducing educational cost without
affecting educational quality
Along this vein of thought, educational
technology becomes part of the total
educational process.

Such as:
Psychology, Sociology, Business
management

Optics , Reprographics , Acoustics , and

Micro-electronics in order to produce the
optimum teaching-learning system.
 Definitions from the two(2) aspects of educational
technology:
1.) Educational Technology is the development , application
and evaluation of systems , techniques and aids to improve
the process of human learning(council for educational
technology for the United Kingdom).
2.) Educational Technology is the application of scientific
knowledge about learning and the conditions of learning to
improve the effectiveness and efficiency of teaching and
training.(National Centre for Programmed learning, UK)
3.) Educational Technology is a systematic way of designing,
implementing and evaluating the total process of learning
and teaching in terms of specific objects, based on research
in human resources to bring about more effective
instruction.( Commission on Instructional Technology ,
USA)
The aim of Educational
Technology is to enhance the
teaching and learning
process for both the teacher
and the learner.
