The Impact Of Ict On PupilsAchievement And Attitudes In Social Studies

Information communication technology (ICT) helps to learn theoretic development discoveries, treatment and support techniques for education and curriculum. It gives teachers, higher level teaching assistant (HLTA) and children access to educational resources from around the globe anytime and day. While using ICT, children learn concepts, history, ideas, theories and practices across culture when it is use in their classroom. HLTA and teachers however have to know how and why they are using ICT and incorporate the concepts in: social responsibility, creativity, communication, culture sensitivity, decision making technology application and usage. According to Andrews et al. (2006, p.5) “ICT has been defined as including stand-alone computers, networked technologies with a multimodal interface, mobile phones with the capacity for a range of types of communication, and other technologies that allow multimodal and interactive communication.”

Modern technology has penetrated every aspect of our lives and made great impacts on our daily activities, especially in the area of education. The continuous infusion of technology in education has become an unchangeable tendency. Given the increased use of technology in education, much research has been done on the value of technology in education. However, none of the studies have answered all of the questions that are essential to determining whether continuous infusion of new technologies in education can improve the quality of education. Since a clear answer to this question is vital to help educational organizations to make decisions on how much

The leaders in education need to be informed to ICT possible benefits with the leader’s dangers and be active in lecturing them, from now ICT literacy development provides an appropriate venue for this. The development of an ICT addition model in schools is valuable for stakeholders in education to evaluate technology training for school leaders and create opportunities for principals to acquire ICT integration skills. (Selwood, 2003) said that when school leaders allow technology integration through vision and knowledge, schools can improve in instructional technology, which can lead to greater student achievement and better preparation for a technological society. (Bonifaz & Zucker, 2004) said that teaching students with laptops establishes a different environment than traditional classrooms and requires the teacher to have ICT knowledge and skills, effective ICT teaching strategies, effective classroom management as well as technical support. In a school setting, likewide (Cuban, 2001) said that ICT requires additional time and effort to utilize, and consequently may be used less frequently. (Abuzaid & Singh, 2008, Al-Jarf, 2007, Bauer & Kenton, 2005) said that this part introduces the conceptualized of ICT in education. (Fitzallen, 2004) said that attention is increasingly directed at the border of the questions merging

ICT has become one of the most common resources in daily life. ICT has transformed the way people communicate and learn in almost every aspect of modern life for education (Higgins, 2007). Many countries have recognised ICT as a core part of education, along with writing and reading (Amin, 2008). The term ICT has had misconceptions that ICT refers to computers only, in circumstance this is incorrect. According to Pelgrum and Law (2003) during the 1980’s the word computers was given the title of IT (information technology), this demonstrated a shift of focus from computing technology to the ability to store and recover data. The term ICT was then introduced in 1992 (Pelgrum and Law, 2003).

Incorporation of technology into everyday lives nudged society into a position where our world is focused on electronics. The educational system values the benefits of this convenient improvement, but some studies deny that fact. Societal benefits seem to outweigh the negative effects of technology; despite what is presented in media, these benefits could also hurt the child through a withdrawal of socialization and individual thought. Many scientists support their viewpoint through observations, yet remain biased on the conclusions they release to the public. This obtrusive inspection on the impact of technology changes the judgement that each person has. Although people who read these studies have a strong opinion, they do not particularly change their beliefs on the topic. Interpretation of the effects of technology on education remains diversified across the country, and those who use it stand firmly with their opinion.

According to So and Kim (2009), teacher training and a support system with integrating technology in the instructional practice should be structured in a holistic way so that they can see the connection. Through assessment based on a full deliberation of interrelationships between content, pedagogy, and technology, teachers can anticipate constructive sound effects of technology integrated task through student academic performances.

First of all, the technology has changed the structure of the classrooms. Nowadays, the technology has shifted the simple classrooms to digital classrooms. In the article The effect of the digital classroom on academic success and online technologies self-efficacy, the author states, “Learning environments enriched with technology have shifted from simple computer labs to highly technological environments equipped with computers, projection machines, internet connection and communications technology, and started to be named as digital classrooms with ICT opportunities” (Mehmet Arif Ozerbas & Bilge Has Erdogan). The author points out that the technology has changed the classroom by providing the digital classroom. The use of technology in the classrooms help students take good notes, improve the learning experiences, and make them more creative. Many studies have shown that the digital classrooms also help the student become successful in their academic careers. “According to Sezgin’s (2002) research, the

Information and Communications Technology is not a cure for all educational dilemmas, even though today technologies are obligatory tools (Guri-Rosenblit, 2006). Information and Communications Technology when effectively incorporated into teaching and learning ensures interaction between learners and teachers, thus advancing cognitive skills development (Jones & Cress, 2001; Punie et al., 2006). Likewise, Information and Communications Technology has provided the tools needed to deliver education to remote geographical regions (Guttman, 2003). The integration of ICT is extensive, when looking at its existing widespread diffusion, especially among the young generation (Punie et al., 2006). Many researchers believed that ICT creates three important milestones: a) access to teaching and learning opportunities; b)

Over several years, technology plays a vital role in our society, countries and the world. The technology has been changing our behavior and lifestyle in every aspect. In the past, people received news from reading the newspaper once a day so what was going on yesterday is in today’s newspaper but nowadays all events are immediately delivered to everybody with the latest news, what is happening in the world right now, by the internet. With regard to the benefits of technology, this literature review will focus on the approaches in helping education system in term of how to improve and enhance educational quality in developing countries in South-East Asia as well as in the sense of reducing the gap between country schools and city schools.

Technology can help students in all areas of study. Students need to be able to use this technology since, “Currently and in the near future, it is understood that students need to acquire more autonomous skills of ‘information gathering, analysis, and display’” (Todnem, 2004, p. 1). Furthermore, the use of technology, mainly the internet, provides for variation since “Students find themselves bored and burnt-out of the lecture format to classes, so changing the curriculum and instruction to include things like online assignments and educational videogames can be one clear remedy” (Todnem, 2004, p. 1). Teachers who have implemented technology into their classrooms have noticed changes in their students. The most common of these effects being an increase in motivation. In “Effects of Technology on Classrooms and Students” another positive effect is given “technology effect stressed by many teachers was enhancement of student self esteem” (“Effects,” 2004, p. 2).

There is much in the literature regarding the use of technology in education. According to Dede (2009), Banister (2010), Peled and Schocken (2014), my topic can be characterized as technology in education is an effective tool for motivating student engagement, increasing academic success, and providing new environments for students to learn. Thus, the more technology that is incorporated in a students’ earlier grades, the more inclined they will be to prefer that type of instruction in their latter years. It is an important topic with respect to education because the wave of new technology is increasing at rate never before seen in the field of education. These articles track the study of technology use in the field, and how they are beneficial for my study of technology in education. All of the articles support the idea of the use of technology in education, and each represent a different aspect in which technology can improve a child’s education.

Rapid revolution in science and technology is affecting our lives drastically in both positive and negative ways. We believe that technology is making our world beautiful. However, there are concerns that are eating up most of the teachers and parents’. Is technology is doing good or bad on the study of students? Bad impact of technology on college students are elevated exasperation, deteriorated patience, decline in writing skills and lack of physical interactivity.

The popularity of technology is growing larger and faster than ever. The problem is, we may never be able to catch up to it. The young adolescent adults seemed to be more interested in technology. Some experts claim that it does more harm than value. In terms of education, technology is becoming more and more popular and used among many school districts, although this can come with complications and allows students to ease threw assignments without having to fix their own problems. Also, technology can affect teenagers social abilities and let strangers have access to personal information.

4. Moreover, this survey and the action undertaken as a result of the assessment and evaluation of the survey will promote a deeper understanding of the negative and positive impacts of technology dependency of the students on their academic development and the relationship of technology and education of college students to the development of their behavior, social awareness, lifestyle and most especially on their academic performance which the study focuses to.
