Principles in the Use of ICT | Dr. Brenda B. Corpuz

Summary

This video discusses the fundamental principles for effectively using Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education. It emphasizes that ICT should support established teaching and learning theories, focusing on active, collaborative, integrative, and experiential learning processes. The video also differentiates between learning 'from' ICT and learning 'with' ICT, advocating for the latter where ICT acts as a partner in knowledge construction.

Highlights

Learning as an Integrative Process00:01:28

Effective learning connects information from various sources and subjects. Skillful use of ICT helps learners integrate knowledge from different disciplines and sources.

Learning as an Active Process00:00:31

Learning is an active process where learners must be engaged. ICT makes learning highly interactive, encouraging participation rather than passive reception.

Learning as a Collaborative Process00:00:58

Collaboration enhances learning. The constructivist theory highlights the social nature of knowledge construction. ICT facilitates working together, fostering better interaction between learners and teachers.

Learning as Experiential00:01:57

Learning is experiential, meaning direct sensory experiences are crucial. ICT can provide these experiences, making abstract concepts tangible through sight, touch, smell, taste, or sound.

Constructive Alignment and ICT Use00:02:30

ICT should be used as a means to achieve learning outcomes, not as an end in itself. The principle of constructive alignment dictates that ICT integration in teaching activities and assessments must align with clarified learning outcomes, ensuring purposeful use.

Learning From ICT vs. Learning With ICT00:04:06

Learning 'from' ICT refers to its traditional role as a content delivery vehicle, similar to a teacher dispensing knowledge. Learning 'with' ICT, from a constructivist perspective, views ICT as a partner in learning, where learners actively gather, analyze, synthesize, and construct meaning, using ICT to present their learning.

ICT as a Facilitator00:05:18

ICT serves as a facilitator for thinking, knowledge, and meaning construction. Its proper use supports time-tested teaching and learning principles for optimal educational outcomes.
