THECOM P U T E R
As The
TEACHER’S TOOL
In this Lesson, we shall again look at the computer, but this time from another perspective the computer as the teacher’s handy-tool. It can in fact support the CONSTRUCTIVISM and SOCIAL CONSTRUCTIVIST PARADIGM of learning.
CONSTRUCTIVISM - was introduced by Piaget (1981) and
Bruner (1990). They gave stress to KNOWLEDGE
DISCOVERY of new meaning/concepts/princ
iples in the learning process.
SOCIAL CONSTRUCTIVISM
Vygotsky stressed that learning is affected by social influences. He
therefore, suggested, the interactive process
in learning.
In addition, DEWEY sees language as a medium for social coordination and adaptation. For Dewey, human learning is really human languaging that occurs when students socially share, build and agree upon meanings and knowledge.

THE COMPUTER’S CAPABILITIES
INFORMATIVE TOOLThe internet itself
provides an enormous database from which user can access global information resources, as well as educational information directly useful to learners.
CO-CONSTRUCTIVE TOOLSStudents can use co-
constructive tools to work cooperatively
and construct a shared understanding of new
knowledge. One way of co-construction is the use of the electronic whiteboard where students may post notices to a shared
document/whiteboard.
CONSTRUCTIVE TOOLThe computer itself
can be used for manipulating information,
visualizing one’s understanding, and
building new knowledge
SITUATING TOOL
By means of virtual reality (RS) extension systems, the computer can create 3-D images on display to give the user the feeling that are situated in a virtual environment.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
In Support ofSTUDENT-CENTERED
LEARNING
The idea of student-centered learning is not a recent idea. In fact, as early as the 20th century, educational educators such
as John Dewey argued for a highly active and individualized pedagogical
methods which place the student at the center of the teaching-learning process.
THE TRADITIONAL CLASSROOM
The Traditional Classroom situation is necessitated by the need to maintain classroom discipline and also to allow the teacher to control classroom activities through lecture presentation and teacher-led discussions.
John Dewey has described traditional learning as process in which the teacher pours information to student learners, much like pouring water from a jug into cups. This is based on the long accepted belief that the teacher must perform his/her role of teaching so that learning can occur.
THE SCL CLASSROOM
Desiring to gain effectiveness, efficiency and economy in administration and instruction, schools in this developed economies have adopted the support of ICTs.
