1. PEDAGODY, LIFELONG LEARNING AND ICT Jiesa N. Pahunang Beed-Sped 2B

2. In the book of “teachers and machines” Larry Cuban has traced the history of attempts to use technology in the classroom.

3. In a photograph entitled “ The geography lesson” that shows a class of children sitting in orderly rows of pre war school desks with a school mistress. This photograph appears to illustrate that the technology of flight has simply been used pointlessly to transport a conventional classroom in to the air.

4. The main rationale of this agenda is to draw into new learning opportunities people who have not previously benefited full or not at all from education or training.

5. To reposition education and training so that they will no longer be undertaken at a particular stage of life, providing a single platform of knowledge and skills which will last for a long career.

6. The learning revolution has begun the information and communication and technology or just simply ICT is now the pervasive and so powerful, that the major changes in learning simply must follow.

7. The Pedagogic Basis for Learning Technology The are two pedagogies that are associated with the “C” and “IT”. One is the “DELIVERY OF INFORMATION” this is predominately the pedagogy of the lecture or the book and it emphasizes the “IT”. Second is the “TUTORIAL DIALOGUE” this involves conversations between tutors and the student and it emphasizes the “C”.

8. In the context of the lifelong learning policy the real problem is that “IT” is cost effective rather that the “C”. And in terms of the pedagogic effectiveness the “C” is better that “IT”.

9. Lectures are important are important but not because they are ever very effective as teaching by telling , rather because they represent a way of making a direct impact on the motivation and because they essentially social situations, confirming learners as a member of the learning community.

10. Four Fundamental Points About Learning 1.) Learning is best viewed as a product of understanding and understanding must be built by the individual learner in the performance. 2.)Development of understanding depends on frequent feedback , particularly from the teachers and peers.

11. 3.) Learning is a progression through stages. 4.) All learning is situated in a personal, social and organizational context determines motivation.

12. Framework of Learning Technology Three stages of learning 1.) conceptualization- refers to the users initial contact with other peoples concepts. 2.)Construction- refers to the process f building and combining concepts through their use it the performance of meaningful tasks. 3.) Dialogue- the testing and tuning of conceptualization.

13. Conceptualization cycle

14. Primary courseware- this is intended mainly to present the subject matter. Secondary courseware- describes the environment and set of tools by with the learners performs learning tasks and the tasks themselves.

15. Tertiary courseware- is a material which has been produced by the previous learners, in the course of discussing their learning tasks with their peers. .

16. Lifelong learning convey importance of an attitude to learning. Attitude are rooted in the social and cultural environment , and are not normally analyzed at any level on which technology will seem relevant. Yet communication is central to the maintenance of human relationships and the technology to support communication can make a difference to how relationships formed and nurtured.
