The Impact of Computer Technology On Education

/>

August 10,2012
There is hardly any facet of Science and Technology advancement without the use of Computer. In fact Computer or ‘’artificial intelligence’’ as it is otherwise called occupies a centre stage when reseaching advancement in Technology. Because it cannot just by-passed if there is a focus of any meaningful impact .

Computer configuration and make are being upgraded constantly to meet emerging trends.The impact of Computer technology on education in recent times is amazing. We can now bring the most advanced machines right inside the convenience of our home; offices and the class room and perform infinite tasks with them unlike what was obtainable with the first generation of computers.

The Computer World is an industry that will never grow old. It permeates every facet of human endeavour, so talking about its impact of Computer on Education we look beyond pupil- teacher relationship in the class room since knowledge is dynamic. Engineers, Economics, Accountants, Architects, Artisans etc, are finding better ways of doing things through advancement in Computer Technology and its applications. The field of Medicine has made tremendous discoveries in diseases diagnoses and treatment through the use of advanced software in Computer Technology.

Clinical consultations and advanced medical procedures are better done in connections with the use of computer automation. This is extended to the classroom and laboratories. So leanings and improvement in this regard is continuous, if not one can grow obsolete. Noticeably, there is a paradigm shift, except we would want to reverse back to the dark ages.

The impact of Computer Technology on education is noticable on how it has revolutionised the learning process. It is easier for the Teacher to impact knowledge with the use of Computer through the aid of audio-visual medium. Power point animation software can be used to present information in an interactive manner, a situation when the Teacher just watch on and do a stress less moderation. This medium makes teaching and learning process more interesting and less tedious. This method has been proven to be very effective at increasing students’ retentiveness and attention span.

Students can now make presentation in a digitalised manner with Computer software that takes learning and presentations far deeper and more comprehensible. It is also easier to carry a PDF or e-book reader than a bulky note or Text books. In the same vein, it is easier to carry and retrieve bulky information through the computer for the Teacher than the stress of lesson notes and text books.

Unlike in the time past, students from different parts of the World can interact simultaneously through the use of computer connected to the Internet. It is possible to discuss and share latest developments in the different fields of human endeavour without necessarily having to travel or through the orthodox means of exchange of information with delays that are unavoidable.

In the course of doing so, such information and knowledge acquired can be stored same time without the hassle of writing which ordinarily would have taken several hours and perhaps a number of information not captured.

We can say that the so called digital-gap between the advanced economies and the developing ones is bridged as a result of impact of Computer Technology on education.

With the wide range of application of computer Technology it has become a compulsory part of our school curriculum. It is not enough to appreciate what a computer can do by been able to switch it on and off it. It is equally imperative to constantly keep abreast with the latest discoveries and developments as it impact on current realities of our daily living.

In time to come, some persons may lose their relevance in their field or career just because of lack of self improvement in this regard; and it is becoming a compulsory requirement to be computer literate in order to be gainfully employed in most establishments.

It is also pertinent to note that if the impact of computer technology on education will be sustained, it has to be a compulsory subject up to the tertiary level and in all facet of learning. I think this informed the reason why in recent times some institutions have made computer literacy a compulsory requirement before gaining admission for further learning as the entire process is digitalised.
