Lecture 1 Flashcards
What is the definition of Educational technology?
Dr. Michael Spectors
Educational technology involves the disciplined application of knowledge for the purpose of improving learning, instruction, and/or performance.
What is the definition of educational technology through the AECT?
Educational technology is the study and ethical proactive of facilitating learning and improving by creating, using and managing appropriate technological processes and resources.
What is Dr. Carbanaro’s definition of Educational Technology?
educational Technology is the integration of technology to support and enhance teaching, learning and problem-solving.
What motivated Sidney Pressesy’s teaching Machine?
Behaviorism.
What did Pressesy’s belief about teaching and learning?
Students should be educated individually - via testing
What was Pressey’s teaching machine
Automated teaching machine that use a drill and practice approach with candy.
how many education technology patents were made in between 1890-1930?
700
with over half in the 1920’s
What is underlying the learning theory of behaviorism?
Programmed instruction
What is Immediate knowledge?
leads to learning the correct behavior; the student quickly learns to be right (more effective approach)
What is Motivating effect?
The student is free of anxiety because they get quick feedback…..and immediate reports.
What is mastery learning?
Mastery learning resulted in the average student learning twice as fast.
What was Plato’s contribution to educational technology in the 1960’s?
Programmed logic Automated Teaching operation.
What were some of Plato’s innovations?
Plasma TV pixel based display Touch screens online forums email instant messaging
What is Computer Assisted Instruction?
Integrated student and technological learning and teaching
What are Mindtools?
technological tools that can support and enhance problem solving and critical thinking.
What is the creation of computational artifacts/solutions?
You work transparently with computational tools to create computational artifacts and/or computational solutions.
Learning theories, adopted for integration of digital technologies, will depend on the _______ and __________ of the instructional environment?
Context
Purpose
What are the four most common challenges that face the use of teaching machines (computers ect)
- Cost to develop quality instructional materials
- Technologies have a limited lifespan
- Level of knowledge often needed to program the machine cam be difficult to master.
- School environments are not structured to support teaching innovations
What is behaviorism?
a theory of learning based on the idea that all behaviors are acquired through conditioning
What are some examples of “learning from technology”?
Computer assisted instruction
Computer-based training
intelligent-tutoring systems
When looking through the lens of “learning from technology” what is drill and practice learning?
Question -> answer -> feedback
When looking through the lens of “learning from technology” what is tutorial based learning?
Question -> Answer -> Feedback -> branching -> remediation
What dose it mean when we say “learning about technology”?
It is orientated around learning the nuts and bolts of technology, About HOW and WHY things work the way they do technologically.
What are two examples of Learning About technology within today’s curriculum?
Maker Movement within education:
- Drone, Robots, 3D printers.
- Computational Thinking.
What thinking about “Learning with technology” what would a Mindtool be?
Technological tools thatc an support and enhance problem solving and critical thinking.
What is the practical application of mindtools?
Advances in software and/or hardware tools can be used to solve problems, and construct and represent new knowledge.
What are some Generic tools that are used?
within the idea of mind tools and learning with technology
Spreadsheets, Databases, Multimedia, Construction, Concept mapping, ect.
