The importance of education technology

Definition of education technology Learning is defined by the process by which the knowledge and skills of the recipient are conveyed by different means. Education is the fruit of evolution in civilizations, where knowledge can not evolve or apply without transmission, [1] otherwise it will be lost by the end of civilization or before. Therefore, the need for continuous development of this important process has been demonstrated by various means and methods, taking advantage of modern developments and inventions that can enhance the quality of this process, hence the term "educational technology". Education technology in its broad sense includes methods, tools, materials, devices, and regulations used in a particular education system to achieve specific learning objectives. It is clear that the technology of education does not just mean the use of modern machines and devices, but primarily the introduction of the method of systems, which is a method, method and method of work going in organized steps, and uses all the possibilities offered by technology according to theories of teaching and learning. This method emphasizes the integrated view of the role of educational means and their association with other components of these systems in a reciprocal relationship. [2] The importance of education technology Saw the field of education a great boom in the current century; have developed mechanisms of education very quickly taking advantage of the evolution of technology, thereby increasing education productivity and become more enjoyable, and increased student interaction, and he had the ability to become more creative, [3] Vosahpt Education Government of both types and private institutions tend to find And provide effective means to help students learn more easily. Modern teaching methods include computers, CD-ROMs, the Internet as the sea of ​​information and a great educational tool, and audio-visual media. Impact of technology in education If the importance of technology in the field of education is mentioned, this importance will increase year after year because of the rapid change and development in various fields. The importance of technology in education is as follows: Technology plays the role of mentor who directs the teacher of the scientific material of the student, and changes from the old method of explanation and traditional teaching methods. [4] A modern teaching tool, such as computers and other technological means, with many programs and functions in the field of education stimulates the discovery of new talents and the development of mental abilities in various subjects. For example, the Internet has opened a new window to help students participate in school activities and exchange information . Technology provides a rich source of information that both the teacher and the student need. The Internet has become a vast sea of ​​information, such as encyclopaedias, dictionaries, maps and other sources of information that are difficult to obtain by traditional methods of research. In his search for information on a particular subject, the Internet takes hours (or minutes) to get that information easily without strain. [5] The intervention of technology in the treatment of scientific materials received by students has become imperative, as well as training them to professional use and try to make it a means to the student after graduating from school as a guide and Mina, as the public or private labor market has become a foregone conclusion to practice their work by technological means very sophisticated, And the disappearance of traditional methods, which will provide the student after the arrival of the labor market experience and a great future. Technology in all its advanced means can radically change the educational level of the teacher and how to develop his personal abilities in the explanation and urge him to give a greater opportunity and easier to understand and receive the student of the scientific material, and this in turn will reflect on the development of intellectual capacity and intellectual student, in addition to refining his talents and enjoyment of his materials. Applications in educational technology The technology of education has evolved in the last few years, [6] until it came to open schools without books or papers, and schools and universities were competing to minimize the use of paper and pencils. Distance learning The student can learn from his home without having to go to the classroom. Instead, he will receive his lesson via a computer connected to the Internet. The teacher will start the lesson by broadcasting audio and video to his students. Students can interact with their teacher in the same way. [7] Also, the student can solve his homework and deliver it through the Internet, and the process of repair automatically without the need for the teacher to repair it manually, and this facilitates the process of solving the homework and make it more enjoyable. Dispense books Many schools and universities have replaced traditional books with laptops and tablet computers in the education process. This allows for the replacement of multiple books with a single tablet (or laptop), reducing the burden of carrying books on the back. [8] Comparison with normal education Normal education remains the most prevalent because technical learning is economically costly. The differences are summarized in the table below: [9] Face comparison Technical learning Traditional learning Proliferation Less More the cost More Less Productivity More Less Student Requirements The student needs to keep abreast of technological developments in the field of education No requirements Role of the teacher Less Larger The disadvantages of education technology The disadvantages of educational technology are as follows: [10] The difficulty of learning the modern techniques that the student needs to keep up with. Economically expensive. Reduce student socialism. Minimize interaction between students, colleagues and teachers. Lack of school activities such as art and sports.
