HOW IMPORTANT IS TECHNOLOGY IN
EDUCATION?

Technology provides students with easy-toaccess information, accelerated learning, and
fun opportunities to practice what they learn.

By Rambabu Dixit

1.The Meaning of Education


Knowledge, learning, and information: the
word "education" is used in the English
language and is derived from the Latin word
"educatum" which means "teaching work."
Some great scholars have attributed its origin
to "educare" which means "to raise."

1.a. Narrow Meaning

This is the education given to the child in the
school. The place, duration, curriculum, etc. of
such education is fixed. In this sense, the
person's school life is their education.
Mackenzie has written: "In a narrow sense,
education refers to the conscious efforts made
for the development and promotion of our
powers."

1.b. Broader Meaning


In this sense, education is a lifelong process
by which a person develops their overall
personality, social interactions, and their ability
to adjust to their environment.

2.The Meaning of Technology

The use of scientific inventions, rules,
principles, and processes in different aspects
of life comes under the use of technology.
Many types of technologies exist, including
educational technology. In other words, the
application of scientific principles to different
areas of life is called technology. Therefore,
when scientific, orderly, and well-organized
knowledge is used to do daily work, then it is
given the name of technology. The word
"technology" is usually associated with
machines, but it is not necessary that
machines should always be used.

3.The Meaning of Educational
Technology

When scientific, technical, and psychological
principles and methods are properly used to
make the teaching/learning process easy,
simple, efficient, and effective, it comes under
the umbrella term “educational technology”.
Today, scientific and technological inventions
have affected every aspect of human life.
Education, teaching, and learning have also
been greatly affected by them. In the field of
education, as a result of the latest research,
discoveries, and investigations, such
techniques (i.e., skills) have been developed,
which are helping in achieving the objectives of
education. These competencies and skills,
which are especially based on science, are
given the name of educational technology.
