Objectives of the Course The purpose of this course is to equip prospective educators with the knowledge and skills necessary for technology integration. By introducing various models and solutions for incorporating technology, the course explains how technological learning and associated processes can be developed. Students gain the ability to create and implement technology integration plans tailored to their own curricula, while also learning how to engage effectively within diverse educational environments and disciplines. Furthermore, the course addresses the ethical and legal responsibilities associated with the use of technology, aiming to foster professional growth through the appropriate application of science and technology.
Course Content This course aims to equip graduate-level educators with the skills to integrate technology into their curricula in an effective and efficient manner. Throughout the course, candidates will examine the theoretical foundations of technology integration, practices related to the use of technology across various learning environments and disciplines, and diverse approaches for evaluating effective technology integration. Furthermore, candidates will develop the ability to create and implement technology integration plans tailored to their own specific curricula.
Course Methods and Techniques Each session will begin with the instructor introducing the weekly course content. The teaching process will incorporate lectures, Q&A sessions, drama, role-playing, and case study methods, alongside group discussions. Therefore, it would be beneficial to study the relevant topic before the class.
