Title

Who am I as a presenter?

Part of ICT group for Prof Amory

Our task is to do research on technological

approaches/solutions that could be used to

support the development of E-maturity within

the school.

Example of usage of a computer by

a 5 year old

Mitra observed his 5 year old playing with acomputer and came to the following

conclusion:

- Children could learn to use computers on their

own.

- Minimal assistance is needed from adults.

- Given a chance, learners can use computers.

- They can master all the learning areas thatthey participate in at school.

Introduction

In this assignment we are going to showhow ICT can be used in learning andteaching.

Ways in which ICT can be used to enhance

and facilitate learning using strategies suchas :

- Mind tools and Concept mapping

- Collaborative and independent learning

- Interactive learning tool.

We will also discuss remote managementand cost effectiveness.


5/21

Technology in Teaching & Learning

Getting the right balance or right blendbetween different elements of learning is thekey to both pedagogical and economicsuccess.

The implementation of technology in teachingand learning, can make a significant positivechange.

Independent learning and interactive learningshould be encouraged.

School should be prepared to implement ICT,to promote successful learning.


6/21

Effective Management

School management teams (SMT)should use ICT in managing school.

The use of ICT increases accuracy ofinformation

SMT should play a role in trying toincrease the awareness of the use ofICT in the school hence theimplementation

It can also provide management withup-to-date information so that theiractions can be fact based.


7/21

Technology is the Answer

If the school can implement the use of ICT, this

can be the answer to most of problems thatthe school experiences such as:

- Administration of records

- Recording and reporting- Management of finances

The school can use ICT to have a wellplanned school curriculum.

Learners can also be assessed using ICTtools.

Balances 2

Starting with learning again can beeconomical because, it can operate atscale, which the remote classroomapproach cannot.

The internet can also help our studentsto reach each other globally whereverand whenever.

It is both more effective, more cost-

effective to concentrate on improvingaccess to learning. ICT should be used for quality teaching

and learning.


9/21

Mind Tools and Concept Mapping

The most powerful mind tool that can be usedis the CM. This tool is the most effective

application of technology in education.

It facilitates the generative process of

information by learners. It was tested by using paper and pencil,

expansion of personal computers, use of CM

with hypertext, and finally the development ofthe web-based CM.

In all the four tests different results were

recorded.


10/21

Mind Tools Mind tools or cognitive learning tools

are computer-based tools.

Mind tools facilitate the generativeprocess of information by learners and

they also facilitate critical thinking andhigher-order learning.

These tools are one of the mosteffective applications of technology ineducation to promote learning andteaching.


11/21

Concept Mapping

This is one of the most useful tools/

computer tools designed specifically forcreating (CM).

Learners and teachers can construct andmodify data easily and very quickly.

The use of multimedia allows the use of

sounds, videos, and pictures in conceptmapping and this in turn enhances thelearning process.


12/21

Collaborative Learning

In collaborative learning, the learners (in

groups) will be able to construct group maps.This promotes group discussions.

One of the collaborative software systems that

was tried, was the knowledge soup. It worked because it linked students when they

used the concept map.

All user could view the CMs without seeing

each other and in this way learners could refine,elaborate, and improve their own knowledge

structures..


13/21

Independent Learning

With independent learning, learners are

able to read a book, work with software,listen to a lecture, watch television, and

also write assignments.

When considering all of this, it backs-upeffective learning.

independent learning and interactive

activities will promote effective learningsystem.


14/21

MethodsA. With the scoring system of concept map, learning

effectiveness can be divided into three levels:

2. Level of individual learning.

3. Level of group as a whole.

4. Level of interaction between individual and group. For each level there are a number of sub-levels

that can be used as a basis for analysis of

learning effectiveness in collaborative CM andother collaborative tasks. It was found out that in reliability of scoring

system and questionnaires', when usingChronbachs Alpha, it showed a high reliability for

the whole questionnaire.


15/21

Cost Effectiveness If management has knowledge of the full costs

of ICT, this can support managementsinvestment decision. This will enable head teachers i.e.

principals ICT decision makers, and localauthority officers to develop a strategy for

sustainable ICT provision appropriate to theirschools.

But for a school to realise the benefits of ICT,each school needs to adopt effective methods

for using and managing its ICT resources. The key issue to cost-effectiveness is that,

independent activities lend themselves morereadily to the use of technology and thereforeto the economics of scale.


16/21

Conclusion

One solution of showing that ICT can be used in schools

and that it can promote effective learning andteaching , is the application of mind tools like CM.

Technology is the answer to our learners when theyface the common world.

Our management can become very active if they follow

suit in using the computers.The implementation of ICT can also make the

communication of the school with learners, and theirparents very much easier.

As already stated ICT supports active learning

experiences and access to a wide range of media andlearning opportunities.

ICT can make teaching more interactive. It permitseducators to teach from anywhere in the classroom.

Results - part 1 Levels of learning effectiveness

1) Learning effectiveness at the individual level:- e.g.

individual achievment Total number of concepts inpost test. It includes sub-levels of environment ofenrichment and retention.

2) Enrichment:- e.g. differences between post tests andpre-tests knowledge acquisition: new concepts on

post-test. It concludes concepts transferred from thegroup CM and new individual concepts. We also haveindividual creativity, whereby we have new conceptswhich were not in either of the two.

3) Retention:- In this category concepts are transferred

from the pre-test to the post-test.4) Learning effectiveness at the level of the group as a

whole:- We have group achievement, like total numberof concepts in group CM.


18/21

Results -part 25) Structure & configuration:- Distribution of concepts in

different levels in relation to central concept in groupCM.

6) Group Creativity:- New concepts and ideas in groupCM that are not in pre-tests and are created only incollaboration sessions.

7) Learning effectiveness as an interaction between

group and individual achievement:- Individual togroup transfer concepts are transferred from pre-test to group CM. :-Group to individual transferConcepts are transferred from group to post-test.:-Individual to individual transfer Concepts aretransferred from one of the peers pre-test to his/herpartners post level.


19/21

Remote Management Remote management is not good for the

school because there is no exchange noraccess to information.

The implementation of ICT in our school can

be very useful to management.

Management that uses computers becomesvery effective.

Computers are an excellent assets to

administration. Every effective manager can put his/her own

input separately and in that way management

becomes democratic and the end result is

good management.


20/21

People Involvement Technology always involves people.

When it is used in education, teacherscan always remember that, processes,

approaches, rules, and ways of

organising things are important.

If children at school use ICT, this can

lead to them being more intelligent in

thinking.


21/21

Balances Teaching and learning are opposite side

of the same coin. With technology itreally makes a difference which side of

the coin you start on.
