What is the role of technology in education, what does it mean for the teacher?
Today’s generation of students are growing up in a digital world. Using digital devices is a huge part of their everyday experience out of school. Through Google they have access to a wide wealth of digital information, content and resources.
What is the role of technology in education, what does it mean for the teacher?
With all of this so intrinsic to their ‘outside school’ experience, the challenge for the teaching profession is how to harness all this for learning within the classroom and at home. This generation of ‘digital natives’ has much lower need for libraries of physical content for example, the traditional resource used by students half a generation ago. Learning styles are changing and teachers need to adapt their teaching styles accordingly.
One crucial question is will this new technology actually improve education? The impact of ICT on learning outcomes has been inconclusive, billions of pounds/euros spent – but is generally difficult to evaluate effectiveness in terms of improved results. Nonetheless there are outcomes that are conclusive, and which indirectly impact on learning outcomes. These include improvements in:
Engagement
Motivation
Independent learning
Parental engagement
Student and staff attendance and punctuality
Extending the children’s learning time
