ABSTRACT

Essentially, this long essay examines the impact of technology on

educational development. The background study covers the area of

the long essay’s focus, the significance of the study, the need of the

study, the scope of the study and definition of terms which forms the

chapter one of as the study.

Chapter two examines the impact of technology on education laying

emphasis on technology’s impact on learning, impact of technology on

the education system and the technology’s impact on education

practices.

Chapter three discussed technology and educational development

which is further broken into benefits of technology integration in

education as well as the achievement of technology and education so

far.

Finally, the chapter four contains the summary, conclusion as well as

recommendations proffered on ways and strategies to maximise the

use of technology especially in Nigeria so as to have the expected

education development.
CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background to the study

As the saying goes “Technology is the bedrock of any national

development”. Education can be viewed as the tool or vehicle that can

hasten up the development as well as the achievement of any

programme and activity of any nation that has focus. This implies that

any country devoid of education and especially not having a solid back

up of a useful and functional technology may become backward,

redundant, under developed and as such achieve no goals.

According to ED report on “the cost and effectiveness of educational

technology”, it was stated that ‘through the use of advanced

computing and telecommunications technology, learning can also be

qualitatively different. The process of learning in the classroom can

become significantly richer as students have access to new and

different types of information, can manipulate it on the computer

through graphic displays or controlled experiments in ways never

before possible, and can communicate their results and conclusions in

a variety of media to their teachers, students in the next classroom, or

students around the world. For example, using technology, students


can collect and graph real-time weather, environmental, and

population’s data from their community use that data to create colour

maps and graphs, and then compare these maps to others created by

students in other communities. Similarly, instead of reading about the

human circulatory system and seeing textbook pictures depicting

blood flow, students can use technology to see blood moving through

veins and arteries, watch the process of oxygen entering the

bloodstream, and experiment to understand the effects of increased

pulse or cholesterol – filled on blood flow”

“We know now – based on decades of use in schools, on findings of

hundreds of research studies, and on the everyday experiences of

educators students, and their families – that, properly used,

technology can enhance the achievement of all students, increase

families involvement in their children’s schooling , improve teachers

skills and knowledge and improve school administration and

management.

Evidently the research so far has checked on how technology affects

the school learning systems which can be related to student, teachers

and so to say the entire management of the school system but not

categorically stating the impact it made in developing the educational

system which is now the major focus of this research work.
