Chapter 4

This document discusses the role of educational technology in teaching and learning for elementary grades. It outlines how technology can improve the learning process by increasing student learning quality and efficiency, while decreasing time spent and costs. Educational technology helps translate research into practical teaching methods. Instructional media benefits include standardizing delivery, grabbing attention, aiding retention, enhancing interaction and attitudes, individualizing learning, and using multiple senses. Media allows bringing past events to class, presenting information flexibly, making top teachers widely available, and realizing some objectives more economically.

Role of Educational Technology in


Teaching and Learning
Technology for Teaching and Learning for Elementary Grades
Objectives:
At the end of this lesson, the students will be able to:
1. Explain how educational technology can improve
the teaching-learning process;
2. Discuss how educational technology can serve as a
bridge between theory and practice;
3. Point out the positive effects of educational
technology; and
4. Identify the roles of instructional media
Functions of Educational Technology
Educational technology aims for
the improvement of the
teaching-learning process.
This can be achieved through the
following ways:
1.Increase in the students' quality of
learning
2.Decrease in the time spent in learning
3.Increase in the efficiency of teachers
in the classroom
4.Decrease in educational costs without
sacrificing educational quality
Educational technology and instructional technology
serve as bridges between basic research and theory in
learning and practical teaching and learning
problems.
Educational technology translates and applies basic
research on human learning to produce instructional
design principles and processes as well as new
technologies that teachers and students can use to
increase the effectiveness of the teaching-learning
situation
Benefits of Instructional Media
1. Standardization of the Delivery of Instruction. Media
presentation can communicate the same message to all
students.
2. More attention-grabbing instruction. Media can keep
learners' attention during the teaching-learning process.
3. More retention in learning. Media can help students in
retaining more concepts presented by the teacher
4. More interactive learning. There will be enhanced learner
Participation feedback, and reinforcement through media.
5. Reduced length of time required for instruction.
Media presentations transmit messages in a shorter
time while covering more information.
6. Provision of instruction whenever and wherever
necessary. Since some media presentations are
individualized, instruction, can happen at any time
and place, like in the case of distance education.
7. Enhancement of positive attitudes of students to
learning. The interest that students show can
develop their interest in the subject.
8. Shift of role of teachers from instructors to facilitators.
The time spent by teachers for repeated explanations are
reduced by the use of media. Time saved can be allotted
by teachers to extend assistance to students.
9. Individualization of learning. Some media are specially
designed to provide opportunities to students to learn at
their own pace, hence, catering to individual differences.
10.More multi-sensory learning. Media presentations
entail the use of different sense modalities. The more
senses are used, the better are the chances of the
retention of concepts.
ROLE OF INSTRUCTIONAL MEDIA IN
THE TEACHING-LEARNING PROCESS
Heinich, et al. (1996)
identified the following roles
of instructional media, in the
teaching-learning process.
1. Properly designed instructional media can
enhance and promote learning and support
teacher-based instruction.
2. Media can be used effectively in formal
education situations where a teacher is not
available or is working with other students.
3. Media play an important role in the
education of students with exceptionalities
and disabilities
In distance education, a growing
instructional approach nowadays,
course content is delivered to the
learners through instructional media.
Green (1972) posited the major
attributes that media possess, and
these are:
1.Media can create learning situations that
cannot otherwise be accomplished, like
bringing past, current, and distant events
into the classroom.
2.Media can be used to present
information in a variety of ways that best
meet particular learning objectives
3. Media can make learning more effective by
increasing the realism, the dynamics, and the
attitudinal impact; thus increasing the motivation to
learn.
4. Some media, such as television, can make the
best teachers and learning situations available to
more students than would otherwise be possible.
5. By using media, ' some educational objectives can
be realized more economically than by conventional
means
PROPERTIES OF INSTRUCTIONAL
MEDIA
Navarro, et al. (1988) presented that
there are three properties of instructional
media which indicate why they are used
and what they can accomplish that
teachers alone cannot accomplish or will
accomplish less efficiently, and these are:
1. Fixative property. Instructional media permits the
capture, preservation, and reconstitution of an object
or event of the past. .
2. Manipulative or editing property. Instructional media
permits the rearrangement of materials or information
for purposes of updating, change of emphasis or
correction.
3. Distributive property. Instructional media allows the
transmission of content to a large number of learners
at the same time. Information stored in some media
could be reproduced
