Study Notes

Instructional Objectives and Evaluation

Achieving educational objectives involves a systematic process of planning, implementation, and evaluation.
Identifying problems and making necessary adjustments is crucial when objectives are not met.
Continuous refinement is essential until the desired outcomes are achieved.

Systems Approach to Instruction

The instructional process is viewed as an interconnected system including teacher, learner, content, media, method, and evaluation.
All components must be considered simultaneously for effective learning, rather than in isolation.
The approach is holistic and dynamic, involving phases of planning, development, implementation, evaluation, and modification based on feedback.

Resources in the Systems Approach

Human resources: learners, teachers, and educational managers.
Non-human resources: facilities, materials, and technology.
Educational technology often mistakenly perceived as just gadgets; it encompasses broader concepts.

Approaches to Educational Technology

Hardware approach: focuses on tools and devices.
Software approach: emphasizes educational programs and content.
Systems thinking approach: considers the educational system as a whole.

Functions of Educational Technology

Enhances productivity and results in education by accelerating learning rates.
Provides a scientific foundation for instructional design based on human learning principles.
Strengthens communication and enriches the learning experience through new communication systems.
Facilitates individualized instruction to meet diverse learner needs.
Promotes equitable access to education for all learners, including those with disabilities.
Offers varied methods to meet individual learning needs.
Increases teacher capability to engage and motivate students effectively.
Provides unique learning experiences not easily obtained through traditional materials.
Supports creative teaching practices and practical engagement in learning activities.

Distinction between Educational Technology and Instructional Technology

Educational technology encompasses a wider range of topics including administration and curriculum, while instructional technology focuses specifically on enhancing the teaching-learning process.
Educational technology is considered a broader concept that includes aspects of teaching, learning, and educational management.
Instructional technology involves integrated processes to analyze, implement, evaluate, and manage educational solutions.

System Approach to Instructional Technology

Instruction is a systematic arrangement of experiences aimed at achieving specific learning outcomes.
Effective instruction requires meticulous planning and structured implementation.
Fundamental steps in instructional design include identifying learning outcomes, developing instructional content, and evaluating effectiveness.
Key steps in the systems approach involve identifying educational problems, stating objectives, determining necessary conditions, and mapping resources and methods to achieve goals.
