Multimedia\ntechnologies penetrate into various spheres of educational activity. The spread\nof innovations is facilitated by external factors associated with the\nubiquitous informatization of society and the need for appropriate preparation\nof schoolchildren, as well as by internal factors related to the popularization\nof modern computer equipment and software in schools, the adoption of state and\ninterstate programs for the informatization of education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In many ways, these processes were stimulated by the emergence of the Internet. Today, every student can find the necessary information on the Web or contact an online paper writing service<\/a> whose employees can be located at the other end of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the fact that\nprogress has gained tremendous speed, its expediency is still being questioned.\nLet’s find out whether innovations really help to improve the educational\nsystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In what situations are modern\ntechnologies useful?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In most cases, modern tools have a positive impact on the intensification of pedagogues’ work, as well as on the academic performance of students. At the same time, any experienced teacher will confirm that, against the background of a fairly frequent beneficial effect from the introduction of information technology, in many cases, the use of multimedia means has no impact on improving the quality of training, and sometimes, such use has a negative effect. It is obvious that solving the problems of appropriate and justified informatization of education should be carried out in a comprehensive and universal manner. For some real fun, you can try \u00a0golden-bonus-code.com<\/a> – it’s ready to play!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teachers should\nconsider two possible areas of introducing the technology in schools. The first\none presupposes that innovations are included in the educational process as\n“supportive” means within the traditional methods of the historically\nestablished training system. In this case, multimedia resources intensify the\nlearning process, individualize it and partially automatize the routine work of\nteachers related to the recording, measurement, and evaluation of\nschoolchildren’s knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the second case,\nthe introduction of multimedia resources leads to a change in the content of\neducation, a review of the methods and forms of training, the construction of progressive\nholistic courses. New knowledge and skills are considered not as a goal, but as\na means of developing the student’s personality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The use of modern\ntechnologies will be justified and may lead to increased learning effectiveness\nif the innovations meet the specific needs of the education system, when\nfull-fledged learning without the appropriate modern means is impossible or difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As
As this highly stylized image alludes to, technology can have incredible effects when done right.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Such needs arise during\nthe study of elements of micro and macro worlds, as well as when considering a\nnumber of concepts, theories, and laws that cannot find the required\nexperimental justification in usual conditions (the study of weightlessness,\nacquaintance with the notion of infinity).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The need for\nmultimedia arises both when developing the skills typical for each discipline\n(for example, the compilation of structural isomers in chemistry) and when\nforming the general educational skills (systematization and classification,\nanalysis and synthesis, the ability to plan experiments, collect and analyze\ninformation).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another group of needs\nis determined by the development of creative skills. Such needs arise when\nsolving the optimization problems, i.e. one of the possible options, the most\neconomical variant is chosen (finding the optimal solution not only\nmathematically but graphically).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology may be used\nfor checking the hypotheses put forward, for development of constructive-combinatorial\nskills. Progressive digital tools allow to assemble an integer from parts, to simulate\nobjects and processes. In addition, sometimes, it is necessary to model a\nsequence of events, and a student has to draw conclusions about factors that\naffect the final result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some laboratory\nexperiments may take a very long (short) period of time or require devices that\nare inaccessible to a particular educational institution. Such tests also can\nentail the need to use appropriate information and telecommunication\ntechnologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advantages and disadvantages of\nmodern technology in education<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is necessary to\nknow the main positive and negative aspects of informatization of learning and using\nthe modern resources. Obviously, knowing these aspects will help to introduce innovations\nin the areas where they entail the greatest benefits and to minimize possible\nnegative effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many\npositive aspects of the use of progressive technologies in education. As the\nmain ones, we can distinguish:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • improvement\nof processes of information selection and formation of the curriculum;<\/li>
  • new\ndisciplines related to information technologies appear and evolve;<\/li>
  • students\nand teachers move to new levels of interaction;<\/li>
  • even those\nsubjects that are not connected with computer science undergo significant\nchanges, for example, at biology lessons, children may not only read about\nprehistoric animals but also see 3-dimensional models of their bodies;<\/li>
  • strengthening\nof the individual approach: the assignments are compiled taking into account\nthe opportunities and preferences of each student;<\/li>
  • interesting\nand bright educational content is one of the strongest motivators for learning;<\/li>
  • the\nmanagement of the educational institutions becomes more convenient and simple\nthanks to automation.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There are also some\nnegative aspects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • individualism,\nreduction of social contacts and communication;<\/li>
    • difficulty\nof moving from the standard form data representation on the pages of the\ntextbook to the digital screens and practical actions;<\/li>
    • in the\ncase of the widespread use of modern technologies, teachers and students can’t\nfind really useful data in a large amount of information that modern facilities\nprovide;<\/li>
    • complex\nways of presenting information distract students from the material being\nstudied.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      It should be\nremembered that, if a student receives information of different types\nsimultaneously, he is distracted from one type of data in order to keep track\nof others, skipping important information. In addition, the use of multimedia\noften deprives students of the opportunity to conduct real experiments with\ntheir own hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Individualization kills\nthe live communication between pedagogues and students, inside the groups of\nyoung people, offering them communication in the form of “dialogue with\nthe computer”. The student does not receive sufficient practice of\ndialogical speech and formulation of thoughts in a professional language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Finally, the excessive\nand unjustified use of modern technology negatively affects the health of all\nparticipants in the training process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The listed problems\nand contradictions suggest that the introduction of progressive tools in school\non the principle “the more, the better” cannot lead to a real\nincrease in the effectiveness of the education system. The use of innovations\nrequires a planned and clearly reasoned approach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
