2. Meaning of Educational Technology
Technology - Greek word “techne” means
“craft” or “art”.
Educational Technology – the art or craft
of responding to our educational needs; refers to
how people use their inventions and discoveries
to satisfy their educational needs and desires.
Technology is not just machines.
(Dale, 1969) “It is a planned, systematic
method of working to achieve planned
outcomes – a process not a product.”

3. Meaning of Educational Technology
A field of study which is concerned with the
practice of using educational methods and
resources for the ultimate goal of facilitating the
learning process. (Lucido & Borabo, 1997)
“consists of designs and environments that
engage learners… and reliable technique or
method of engaging learning such as
cognitive learning strategies and critical
thinking skills”. (Jonassen, 1999)

4. Meaning of Educational Technology
Educational Technology – the art or craft
of responding to our educational needs; refers to
how people use their inventions and discoveries
to satisfy their educational needs and desires.
“It is like a profession of teaching. It is
made up of organized effort to implement
the theory, intellectual technique, and
practical application of educational
technology” (Jonassen, 1999)

5. Involves the application of the process
Functional Analysis of Teaching-Learning
Process.
3 Process: Teacher OBSERVES all other components which are
APPLIED as input and output and PRESENT the required information
in the form of research outcomes.
Educational Technology is the behavioral technology, which presents
the art of teaching with the help of those factors which are used for
achieving teaching objectives.

6. IMPORTANT HIGHLIGHTS
 A very broad term.
 The application of scientific findings in our method, process, or
procedure of working in the field of education.
 Embraces curriculum and instructional design, learning
environment, theories of teaching-learning.
 Field study of profession.
 Uses all human inventions for teachers to realize the mission of
teaching.

7. Need of Educational Technology
 Realization of the goals in education.
 Emphasizes the designing and measuring
instruments for testing learning outcomes; and
 Stresses on the development of methods and
techniques for effective learning.
 Facilitates learning by controlling the
environment media and methods.
 Makes learning more powerful and more lasting,
making up the cultural handicaps; and
 Extending educational services.

8. Scope of Educational Technology
As Educational
Technologists/Teacher:
i. Identifying aims and objectives,
ii. Planning the learning
environment,
iii. Exploring and structure the
subject matter,
iv. Selection of appropriate
strategies and media,
v. Evaluation of the effectivity; and
vi. Uses insights gained from
evaluation to improve the
effectiveness.

9. Scope of Educational Technology
Related to education in
three (3) major ways:
a) General Education Administration,
b) General Education Testing, and
c) Instructional Process

10. Scope of Educational Technology
Working areas of EdTech:
a) Curriculum Construction,
b) Teaching-Learning strategies,
c) Audio/Visual material,
d) Determining Educational Objectives,
e) Training the teachers, etc.

11. Components of Educational Technology
Hardware Software

12. HARDWARE

13. HARDWARE

14. SOFTWARE

15. TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION
“the application of technology to any of those process
involved in operating the institutions which house the
educational enterprise. It includes the application of
technology to food, health, finance, scheduling, grade,
reporting, and other processes which support education within
institutions.”
(Jonassen, et.al, 1999)

16. INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY
“are concerned with instruction as contrasted to designs and
operations of educational institutions. Instructional
technology is a systematic way of designing, carrying out, and
evaluating the total process of learning and teaching in terms
of specific objectives.”
(Lucido & Borabo, 1997)

17. TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION
“learning technologies to introduce, reinforce, supplement,
and extend skills.”
(Williams, 2000)
Like instructional technology, it is a part of educational
technology. Thus, it is also part and parcel of instructional
technology, which in turn is a part of eduacational technology.
