?Does technology improve education or hamper it
?Nowadays, technology has revolutionized almost in every aspect of life favorably, and so education is not exception. Is it
Some studies recommend that technology can be a multiplier for of teaching instructors in the classroom.Therefore an instructors is someone who can be the only surce of help in the the classroom, on one hand students are able to access websites, online tutorials, so on. In addition, we can see that it is possible for students to have access to their teachers, even after the school.
As a teacher, I accept that technology through educational videos, and modern activities approximately improves the understanding of the difficult concepts for young learners, and they can learn subjects by heart. According to some researches such technologies will make connection between students and teachers around the world. They can enhance and share their information about the various subjects through the online classes.
As it was noted above, it seems that technology might facilitate the educational process. On the contrary, some psychologists argue, that technology hampers education. Today, psychologists warn that using the internet in the classes creates an environment where “consistent consideration is impossible, imagination is not tangible, and also memory is hindered”. From your point of view. How can we remove the barriers?
Referring to Education Technology barriers, Juliet Eileen Joseph in the University of Johannesburg, South Africa argues that “education through technology does no longer have interpersonal interplay and an increase in technology possibly lead to less concern in teacher-student interaction”.Andrea Schleicher a German statistician concluded that “students who use computer systems constantly at school do much worse in most learning results, even for representing social background and learner demographics”. Also, increasing the utilization of the internet might seem to be a reason for children’s depression and isolation.
But there are other ideas about implementing technology in education which says all educational technologies are not completely bad. We can decrease the number of negative aspects. For example, We should prevent our children or students from spending more time on the internet and we should try to organize the time for their priorities. Teachers have to provide some appropriate tasks, resources, and assignments to prevent technological problems.
Furthermore, to minimize the distractions, teachers have to monitor and educate the appropriate manner of using the internet in the classroom and also at home.
