Unit 2The Synergy of Technology with

Basic Learning Theories, Principles and Practices

History of Technology in Education

It is a compound word taken from the word synchronized and energy.

It implies that energy that comes from various sources were made to act simultaneously upon a certain teaching and learning situation.

Synergy Defined

Digital LiteracyThe ability to use computers

and its application in learning.It implies that learning

should not stop after schooling for learning is a life long process.

Constructivist TheoryLearning is an active process

where learners acquire and construct new ideas and concept based on their past and current experiences and knowledge.

Note:To learn is to experience.

Basic Learning Theories

Cognitive Learning TheoryIt is the act of knowing,

therefore cognition involves higher mental process.

Basic Learning Theories

Cognitive Learning Theory 2 Major Foundation of Cognitive Functioning:

◦Organization◦Adaptation

Basic Learning Theories

Cognitive Learning TheoryOrganization- a

systematic arrangement of on perceptual and cognitive information into meaningful pattern called cognitive structures.

Basic Learning Theories

Cognitive Learning TheoryAdaptation- a process on

which the person seeks balance what is being perceived, known and understood. It involves assimilation, the process of fitting the perceived and experience into existing cognitive structure.

Basic Learning Theories

Systematic Behavior TheoryBehavior involves the

interaction between the stimuli and the environment and the responses which the organism makes toward the stimuli.

Basic Learning Theories

Principles of Active Involvement It implies that learners must

be focused and engaged directly with the task where the learner may gain knowledge, ideas and concept that may help in the learners development.

Basic Principles of Teaching and Educational Technology

Principles of ConnectivityThis involves the building of

relationship between and among experiences.

Basic Principles of Teaching and Educational Technology

Principles of IntegrationThis refer to the organization

or putting together diverse elements to form a unified and harmonious concept.

Basic Principles of Teaching and Educational Technology

Principles of IntentionLearning does not take place

unless the student has an intention for taking the activity.

Basic Principles of Teaching and Educational Technology

Principles of Creativity and Innovation

It refers to the ability to produce an original concept or idea and translate it to some forms of expression.

Basic Principles of Teaching and Educational Technology

Principles of DiscoveryLearners feel accomplished if

they were able to find a solution or discover by themselves. This is were the genuine learning happens.

Basic Principles of Teaching and Educational Technology

Principles of SocializationThe school must be a

structure of a miniature society where in students learn the basics of living effectively in a society.

Basic Principles of Teaching and Educational Technology

Principles of UnderstandingThere is no learning without

comprehension.
