Meaning and nature of ET (Educational Technology)

  • ET is defined as the application of technology to education in order to further the cause of the latter.
  • ET helps in providing efficiency to the task of teaching and learning.
  • ET provides technical guidance and solution to the problems of education.
  • Teaching is communication and education technology can play an effective role in the communication between teacher and students.
  • ET is not limited to the use of audio-visual aids and does not symbolize merely educational hardware such as the sophisticated gadgets in education. It employs a combination of all possible human and non-human resources to achieve the desired educational objectives.

Objectives of Educational technology: ET has macro and micro level objectives.

  • Macro objectives include: - identification of educational need of the community, determining aims of education, developing suitable curriculum, management of the whole educational system.
  • Micro objective includes: - determination of specific classroom objectives, planning teaching strategies, evaluation of the effectiveness of classroom teaching, providing appropriate feedback.

Conclusion: As we go through the meaning and objectives of ET, it clearly tells that ET

  • optimizes learning outcome
  • ensures the effectiveness of learning outcome, and
  • has a tremendous role in rendering teaching-learning systems effort effective.

Hence, option (4) is correct.

Note: ET includes the use of audio-visual aids, educational hardware, etc. So neither it is cost-effective nor it is user friendly (as all teachers are not good at handling gadgets). At the same time, it is an outcome of the teaching-learning process.

Public opinion may be passive and false or active and real. It is claimed in theory that all governments are ultimately based on the opinion or sanction of the governed. But we find that in practice the people's rights are often trodden down and tyranny and oppression are allowed to continue. The government does it not because the people want it to do so but because they are too idle, too uneducated and too disunited or timid to oppose the govern ment. Such public opinion is passive and false and not an active verdict. But when we find people alert, intelligent and determined to let the government know their will, when they want to exercise actively their voice in the management of their country, we have an instance of true or active public opinion. True public opinion is formed by and expressed through the press, the platform, political parties and educational institutions. These have sacred duties to perform, duties on which depends the ultimate good of the entire community. The press today wields a tremendous influence, So it should support the causes and move ments and condemn the wrong one's and thus teach people to form correct opinion. A free and fair press ventilates the grievances of the public. Thus a healthy relationship develops between the people and the government through out an unbiased press. Political parties also help to create and regulate opinions. No less important part is played by the educational Institutions which train the minds of the young people who will be the citizens of tomorrow. It has been said that modern Germany and China have been made by their universities. It is necessary that the young and the growing minds should imbibe the spirit of fellow-feeling, the spirit of tolerance, the habit of compromise, and show due regard for the feelings and opinion of others without which a democratic society cannot function, let alone succeed. When there is true awakening of the people, we shall have the real and conscious public opinion. And justice will reign on earth and truly will the voice of the people be the voice of God.
Who among the following has tremendous influence in forming the true public opinion?
