  Effect of Globalization on Education: How Technoscapes are Channeled to Create a Constructive Learning Environment

Educ 102: Social Dimensions of Education Case Study

Roddy Clark C. SocoBSED Physics-Chemistry 3

Introduction: Why did I conduct the study?

•Awareness of the inevitable effects of globalization

•Inquiry on how technoscapes can be channeled to optimize learning

•Reflection on the possible implications brought about by using technology in education

The Problems

•What forms of technological advancements are used in a certain school to ensure student learning?

•How are technoscapes channeled by the teachers and what are their effects?

• What are the attitudes of both learners as teachers towards using technoscapes in the teaching-learning process?

Methodology

•Venue: St. Joseph’s Academy- Mandaue City

▫S.B. Cabahug St., Centro, Mandaue City

•Date: March 4-5, 2013

•Approach: Ethnography

Methodology: Ethnography

•Researcher “sees” from the standpoint of the subject or respondents (Brewer)

Subject

Researcher Observations Interviews

Scope and Limitations

•Only one specific parameter influenced by globalization: Technoscapes

•Case study in nature, focusing on only one subject and avenue: St. Joseph’s Academy

•Results do not necessarily reflect the conditions experienced by other schools both public and private

Scope and Limitations

•Due to time-constraint, only two methods were used: observation and interview

•Responses generated barely have the tendency to be treated statistically.

Data Gathered: Observation

•White board sandwiched in two black board partitions

•Laptops and LCD Projectors

•Power point Presentations during discussions

•Improved Computer Laboratory

Data Gathered: Observation

•Learning Soft wares

•Genyo E-Learning Room

•Simulations and interactive games

•Digital Laboratory Equipment

Data Gathered: Interviews

•3 students and 2 teachers

•Interviews done during recess time

•Standardized questions, but of different emphasis for students and teachers

•Identities and names of respondents are kept confidential

Student Interview

•First Question: What technological gadgets are found in your school? Please describe briefly. Do you think they are geared for learning?

Sample Response…

•Student Y: “Computers (Genyo E-learning). We use it for our exams, activities, and learning new lessons or topic. Naa puy projector in every classroom. We use it so that the teachers can easily teach us the new way without writing in a manila paper unlike before.”

Student Interview

•Second Question: Are you motivated to use technology in studying? Please cite some examples of instances which make you say such.

Sample Response…

•Student Z: “Yes, I am motivated to use technology in studying. In our school, we already take digital exams in which computers are used instead of test papers. With this, we get more accurate test results faster. It also helps us save time and because of that we can have more time to deal with other matters to learn more things.”

Student Interview

•Third Question: What do you think are the positive and negative effects of using technology in the classroom?

Sample Response…

•Student Y: “Positive: We can learn easily. Creative way of Learning. Faster During exams and results can be seen after you submit. Negative kay addiction, Less time for sleep and rest. And we neglect manual studying.”

Teacher Interview

•First Question: How do you channel technology in teaching?

Sample Response…

•Teacher Q: There are a lot of ways. Like sa akong music, instead of performance test nga usual buhaton..., music video nay ilang buhaton ron. sometimes akong mga review exercises I have it in a form of interactive game sa computer. When I give assignments, I ask them to listen to different selections sa net...I just give them the links.

Teacher Interview

•Second Question: What do you think are the positive and negative effects of using technology in the classroom?

Sample Response…• Teacher S: “ Nah, mag sige nalang na sila ug

plagiarize. Usahay pud mas ma-engross sila sa games within the computers kay sa sa concepts that I’m trying to teach. Daun mas tapulan na ang mga bata. Sauna the skill of experimenting manually is really developed. Karon usa nalang ka click nana ang measurement, gawas na. Mao nang mudiminish pud ang skills gamay especially when it comes to measurement. However, dili na nuon kayo hago ang mga students. It makes life easier both for the students and the teacher.”

Data Analysis

•St. Joseph’s Academy has emerged from a traditional chalk and board method of teaching to a more holistic and interactive approach which employs the use of different technoscapes

•Technoscapes are employed to aid in the teaching-learning process

Data Analysis

•Technoscapes in education both have promising and not so good effects.

•There is a need to properly channel the technoscapes in creating a constructive learning environment.

Conclusion

•It is affirmed that globalization greatly affects the education sector.

•Examples of technoscapes are computers, laptops, and LCD projectors as well as the Genyo E-Learning Room

•Traditional teaching methods are slowly changing into more interactive ones

Conclusion

•A positive attitude towards using technoscapes is prevalent

•Technoscapes in the classroom is a means of coping up with the challenge to exist in a globally competitive environment

Recommendations• Ample time given for the study to be conducted.

• Other ethnographic approaches must be employed such as surveys.

• Adequate sampling must be done.

• Studies about concrete classroom practices that exemplify proper channeling of technoscapes must be conducted.

• Studies about “glocalizing” the use of technoscapes must be conducted.
