Authentic Learning Supported by Technology: Ten suggestions and cases of integration in classrooms

Herrington, Jan, Kervin, Lisa·2007·Educational Media International

Abstract

Technology use in classrooms is often employed for all the wrong reasons—such as convenience, pressure from school administrators, the belief that students need to be entertained, and so on. In this article, the authors argue that technology presents the opportunity to employ powerful cognitive tools that can be used by students to solve complex and authentic problems. In order for this to occur, however, technology needs to be used in theoretically sound ways, and it needs to be used by students rather than teachers. Ten practical ways are presented for technology to be used effectively and meaningfully in school classrooms that are based on principles of authentic learning. La technologie, support d’un apprentissage authentique: 10 suggestions et exemples d’intégration dans les classes On emploie souvent la technologie dans les classes pour toutes sortes de mauvaises raisons telles que la facilité, la pression des administrateurs scolaires, la croyance qu’il faut distraire les élèves et ainsi de suite. Dans cet article, nous avançons que la technologie offre la possibilité d’utiliser des outils cognitifs puissants que les étudiants peuvent utiliser pour résoudre des problèmes complexes et authentiques. Pour que cela se produise, il faut cependant utiliser la technologie de façon théoriquement saine et il faut que ce soit les étudiants qui l’utilisent plutôt que les professeurs. Nous présentons 10 modes pratiques d’utilisation effective et pertinente de la technologie dans les classes basés sur les principes de l’apprentissage authentique. Authentisches, von Technik unterstütztes Lernen: 10 Vorschläge und Integrationsmöglichkeiten im Unterricht Der Gebrauch von Technologie im Unterricht wird oft mit all den falschen Argumenten begründet, wie Annehmlichkeit, Druck der Schulaufsicht, dem Glauben, dass Studenten unterhalten werden müssen und so weiter. In diesem Beitrag zeigen wir, dass Technologie Möglichkeiten eröffnet, mächtige von den Studenten zur Lösung komplexer Probleme nutzbare kognitive Werkzeuge anzuwenden. Damit das jedoch passieren kann, muss die Technologie in theoretisch einwandfreier Weise genutzt, außerdem sollte sie mehr von den Schülern als von den Lehrern angewendet werden.Wir präsentieren zehn praktische, auf den Prinzipien des authentischen Lernens beruhenden Möglichkeiten zum effektiven und sinnvollen Technologiegebrauch im Schulunterricht. La tecnología como soporte de un aprendizaje auténtico: 10 sugerencias y casos de integración en las aulas Muchas veces se usa la tecnología en las aulas por muchas malas razones como la comodidad, la presión de los administradores escolares, la creencia de que los alumnos deben ser divertidos y así sucesivamente. En este artículo, apuntamos que la tecnología ofrece la posibilidad de aprovechar poderosas herramientas cognitivas, que los estudiantes pueden utilizar, para solucionar problemas complejos y auténticos. Sin embargo, para llegar a esto, la tecnología debe ser utilizada de manera teóricamente sana y tienen que ser los estudiantes, más bien que los profesores, los que tienen que utilizarla. Presentamos 10 formas prácticas de utilizarla de una manera significativa y efectiva en aulas basadas en los principios del aprendizaje auténtico.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
