Roles of Educational Technology in
the
Teaching – Learning Process
1. Traditional role
- delivery vehicle for instructional lessons
- learner learns from the technology and
the technology serves as a teacher
- technology is seen as a productivity tool
Roles of Ed tech in the teachinglearning process….
2. Partners in the learning process (constructivist)
- technology is a tool to learn with, not from
- makes the learner gather, think, analyze,
synthesize information and construct meaning
with what technology presents
- technology serves as a medium in
representing what the learner knows and what
he/she is learning
Roles of Ed tech in the teachinglearning process….
3. Educational Technology helps
improve the teaching learning
process through
increasing the degree of learning or
mastery
4. Learning is interactive thus
learners are encourage to
participate
Roles of technology in learning
from the constructivist perspective
1. as tools to support knowledge construction
2. as information vehicles for exploring knowledge
to support learning-by-constructing
3. as context to support learning by doing
4. as a social medium to support learning by
conversing
5. as intellectual partner to support learning-byreflecting
Broadcast Media
- medium that
disseminates info
to a large number
of recipients via
telecom
- radio and
television
Mass Media
- media envisioned
and designed to
reach a very large
audience
- newspapers,
magazines,
comics, radio,
television
Audio Media
Visual Media
- emphasizes use of
hearing
-emphasizes use of the
sense of sight
- radio, audio discs,
recordings, language lab,
etc.
- charts, pictures boards,
diagrams, maps, models,
etc.
Audiovisual Media
-emphasizes use of hearing and seeing
-TV, videotapes / discs, sound filmstrips, printed
materials with recorded sound
Hardware
Software

programs, printouts, or
electronic and
instructional materials

handouts, study
guides, manuals,
newsletters, books

Contributions of Instructional Media to the
Learning Process
1. The delivery of instruction can be more
standardized.
2. The instruction can be more interesting.
3. Learning becomes more interactive
through applying accepted learning
theory.
4. The length of time required for instruction
can be reduced.
5. The quality of learning can be improved.
6. The positive attitude of students toward
what they are learning and to the learning
process itself can be enhanced.
7. The instruction can be provided when and

Novelty
If the content of the IM you find
doesn’t match your objectives…
 modify the materials
 create new instructional materials
Principles in Designing
Instructional Media
1. Materials are specifically designed for
planned purposes.
2. Instructional materials are tools designed for
teachers as well as for students/learners.
3. The use of content in the material is planned.
4. IMs specify the content to be learned, the
techniques of presentation, and the mode of
teaching associated with those techniques.
