Difference between Technology in Education
and Technology of Education
Educational technology may be divided into some
specific types or sub systems in relation to its forms and its applications
like teaching technology, instructional technology, behavioral technology and
instructional design technology.
Technology in Education [Instructional
technology]
As the name suggests, this kind of educational
technology is meant for helping the instructor and the learner in the desired
instructional task. It is a technology meant for bringing improvement in the
instructional process. The type of technology which may help the learner and
the cognitive development of the learner. The conative as well as affective domains
of the learner’s behavior is almost neglected in the services provided by the
instructional process. With the provision of self-instructional materials, the
learner is quite independent in his learning tasks. He is no more in need of a
tutor or teacher for carrying out the instructional work and realizing the
teaching learning objectives. The learning task with the help of essential
services provided by the instructional technology, thus becomes quite simple,
systematic and interesting according to the learner’s needs, abilities and pace
of the learner.
Thus, instructional technology stands for that form or
subsystem of educational technology which helps an instructor of the learners engaged
in self-study for doing their respective tasks as effectively as possible with
the minimum input of time and labor.
Technology of Education [Teaching
technology]
Teaching technology is a subsystem of educational
technology that may prove beneficial to a teacher for the realization of his teaching
objectives, in a best possible way, by having a minimum input in terms of the
time and labor. A teacher has to play the role of a technician by learning the
art and science of teaching. Teaching must be regarded as a technology that a
teacher should try to know and practice well if he wishes to be successful in
his teaching job. The essence of the application of technology lies in getting
more and better output with the least input in terms of time and labor.
If a teacher is in a position to make use of
technology in teaching, he must be well equipped with the technological skills
like communication skill, skill of interaction with his student etc. besides
having a good knowledge or mastery over subject matter.
