Is The Rise of Technology In School Systems Making A Difference?
|
Increasingly, we are seeing technology take over every aspect of society and itÂ’s becoming not only useful but necessary to engage in the rise of advancements that our school systems are installing into classrooms. Children and teenagers are no longer attending their local library to take out books for research projects and book reports. Instead, they are going to the resource in which they are most familiar with having grown up in a more developed generation: the computer. However, itÂ’s questionable whether schools spending budget money on the addition of upgraded technology is truly having a positive effect on students.
There are two sides to the debate of whether technology is worth the emphasis educators are placing on students being technologically competent. On the one side, many people view technology as being distracting and hindering students’ performance in schools, rather than having a positive effect on their education. In a New York Times article titled, “In Classroom of Future, Stagnant Scores,” Matt Richtel quotes Professor Cuban, an educator at Stanford University, who says, “There is very little valid and reliable research that shows the engagement causes or leads to higher academic achievement.” Computers allow children and teenagers access to an entirely new digital world, which could actually hinder their educational performance. Instead of using the computers to do research and homework or write papers, they are browsing the internet on celebrity gossip sites, video games and social media networks, such as FaceBook and Twitter.
On the other side, there are those educators who are avid supporters of technology, saying that technology has increased students’ enthusiasm for learning. Matt Richtel quotes Ms. Cator, a former executive at Apple Computer, who states, “Test scores are the same, but look at all the other things students are doing: learning to use the Internet to research, learning to organize their work, learning to use professional writing tools, learning to collaborate with others.” Although technology might not have led to an astronomical increase in test scores, children and teenager are learning other skills that will help them in the future as they pursue higher education and eventually a career in the real world.
So which is the case? Is technology actually helpful to school systems? Right now there is too little research on the matter to take sides, but itÂ’s definitely a subject that should be further investigated to determine whether spending a good deal of school funding on technology is actually worth it in the long run.
A while ago, we had another blog called "The effect of technology on education." It was written by Anton Lebedev, our other blog writer and gives somewhat of a different perspective on the issue.
