Relevance of technology in teachers’ learning and teaching

Learning is an on-going process and so is the innovation. Knowledge is an outcome of learning and technology is a result of innovation. Today, we belong to the networking age that surpass the communication age. In this age, the concept of education has become modern and elaborative. Now the focus has shifted from imparting knowledge to interaction, discussion and above all encouraging participation. It looks like teaching and technology or teaching with technology implies the dependency and integration of both on each other. This paper attempts to give an insight on how to integrate teaching with teachers learning for effective delivery of information and knowledge. The key focus of this paper is to find out the ways in which teachers can embrace their learning with the help of various tools of technology. And also how teachers can use technology to reach out to their students in most impressive style. To enable teachers to shift from their habitual approach to contemporary approach, Here the onus is on teachers’ to educate and impart knowledge in the most effective and efficient way. But this is only possible if their own education is able to strengthen their own knowledge. This paper describes the innovative approach adopted for the professional development of teachers. It focuses on integrating technology skills based on authentic learning situations. Through this paper an attempt is made to find out how Technology can play important role in both teachers education and teaching methods .how technology can be made interesting to use for learning over conventional methods. As a teacher the process of learning other than teaching become more imperative. It is cyclic in nature i.e. from learning to gaining to delivering to learning back. Where the exchange of knowledge will result in knowing something new not only for the students but for the teachers as well.

Impact of Using Technology on Teacher-Student Communication/Interaction: Improve Students Learning

World Journal of Education, 2019

This paper aims to investigate the teachers' and students' views on using technology and its effect on communication/interaction. As noteworthy results have been succeeded in educational technology in recent years, evaluating the effects of technology integration on communication is now possible. Moreover, the impact of technology on the teachers' and students' communication is considered important. The present study examines the factors or the impact of using technology between teacher-student communication/interaction in Turkey. This paper proposes both innovation diffusion theory (IDT) and integrating technology acceptance model (TAM) from educational communication perspectives. The case study method was used in the research. Case study is one of the qualitative approaches and requires in-depth analysis of a case resulting in a narrative description of behaviour or experience of a person or a group. The sample of this study consists of 95 participants (77 students and 18 teachers) from a secondary school in Bursa/Turkey. Semi-Structured interviews were carried out with the participants including issues; "using education technology on teacher and student technologies, the effect of using education technology and to improve teacher-student communication should be used asolution proposals for technologies in classrooms". Maxqda 11 program was used for the analysis of the interviews. As a result of the interviews, participants have been suggested to use tablets in classrooms, sound insulation, use of never ending pen and no ringtones. The findings show that the choice of educational technology is related to teachers' perception which is communication/interaction with the student can be enhanced using technology. However, the opposite is true for students. 1. Introduction In integration of technologies to community, different factors influencing communication/interaction might lead to the failure of the whole education. Despite the potential positive impact of educational technology, more research is needed to design appropriate usage of technology in schools (Akyürek, 2019, Dhir et al., 2013). For years instructional communication scholars have enacted how to use technologies appropriately (Jwaifell, 2018) between teachers and students with an aim to improve students learning and teaching effecttiveness. In consequence, the overarching aim of the present research is to explore in depth the teachers' and pupils' perceptions of the impact of educational technology on learning in primary education, and how these perceptions could influence the use of educational technology in the learning process. What types or forms of communications and interactions between students and teachers are to improve student learning? Therefore, this article explores the teachers' and students' views on using technology and its impact on communication and suggesting interaction pattern.

Technology and Education: Pedagogic Viewpoints

Technology has been increasingly developing in recent times of digital ecology. It is growing its importance in the education management system. The more technology is advancing, the more benefits it is providing. It is beneficial to students of all levels in a magnificent way. It provides benefits to teachers as well. Technology is used in the classrooms by instructors in a variety of ways. And, students understand easily and absorb whatever they are taught through the integration of technologies. In this way, teachers’ instructions become easier and more interesting. The teachers as well as the learners feel satisfied at the end of the class. Technology, today, has been incorporated into almost all curricula. Students use computers as well as the internet to complete their projects in no time. Researchers use the internet to carry out their research projects on a variety of topics. Hence, this chapter is just an introduction as to how digital learning can enhance a modern learner who is more inclined towards new learning and transformative pedagogies. It is a well known fact that the paradigm of education or learning has been passing through significant changes due to many reasons. One of the prominent reason is ubiquitous learning which is not feasible without the multimodal sources and digital connection. In other words, Tandem learning may be found as more compatible than any other kind. Today’s teaching-learning does not necessarily depend on the teacher-taught relationship, but peer learning can be more crucial in a specific environment.

The Effect of the Use of Technology on the nature of Teacher’s Profession

2018

Educational programmes have recognized the growing need to use computers in the classes as it presents unprecedented challenges that help the students to acquire an inquiring, critical and creative mind to capitalize on the opportunities driven by the growth of information, knowledge and technology. The computer knowledge has begun influencing student's learning experience for more than 25 years ago, but it was in a moderate manner (Cuban, 2001). However, the past decade has witnessed major trend toward integrating computer technology in all the language classes. The integration has increased because the computer technology represents an accessible and instant information, enormous potential for interactivity and media-rich communication, as well as educational tools which engage the students in the classroom (Mouza, 2002). Undoubtedly the recent advancement in information technology and computer usage in the classroom is rapidly transforming the environment of the classroom. The teachers cannot ignore the reality the today's classroom must provide technology-supported learning (Angers & Machtmes, 2005). Being prepared to integrate the technology in the classroom has become a paramount skill in every teacher's professional repertoires. The traditional role of the teacher as the center of the schooling is changing recently with all the introduction of the new technologies in the classroom. One of the effects of the new technologies is the decentralization of teachers in the learning environment (Damrian, 1998). This introduces a very valid point of how the teaching profession will change in the era of digital technologies. What is the role of the teacher in a classroom where he/she is no longer the only source of knowledge? How can he/ she teach effectively in a class, where every student has his/her computer and can Google any piece of information? The following study will investigate the effect of the implementation of the technology in the English as a foreign language (EFL) classes on the nature of the teachers' profession.
