ABSTRACT
This study seeks to understand the effects of technology on education: teaching and leaming. All
the data used in this study comes from secondary sources. Information was gathered from several
sources, including peer-reviewed journal papers, published and unpublished dissertations, online
land print textbooks, and encyclopaedias. Findings: Evidence on the effects of technology is
contradictory, according to a review of the relevant literature. Thanks to information technology
developments, classroom collaboration between teachers and students is more efficient than ever.
It broadens their academic and intellectual horizons, making students more versatile in the
classroom. Due to the internet's accessibility, remote leaming may now be supported by
technological means. Students can use search engines to conduct research. Hardware failures,
software incompatibilties between home and school, or non-existent intemet connections, and
outdated program versions are just some of the dependability problems that students and teachers
face in the classroom. Because of developments in technology like graphical calculators, high-tech

4. INTRODUCTION
The history of technology in education dates to
the 19205 when radio broadcasting was first
Used to teach political science and history. In the
1950s, the computer-based teaching system,
programmed logic for automatic teaching
operations (PLATO), was developed at the
University of Illinois. The 1960s saw the advent
of audio and video cassettes which were used to
deliver lectures and educational content. The
1970s and 1980s saw the introduction of
personal computers, which revolutionised
education. In the 1990s, the intemet became
available to the masses and educational
institutes started using it as a platform to deliver
online courses and programmes. Today,
technology has become an integral part of
education. Virtual leaming environments, online
courses and educational software have made
leaming accessible to anyone with an internet
connection. Innovations like artificial intelligence
(Al) and augmented reality are changing the way
students leam, making education more
personalised, engaging, and effective.
No longer are technologies exclusive to large
corporations and government structures (Baba,
2014:75). Higher education has been
significantly impacted by technology and its
instruments, and this trend is expected to persist
This letter should not be disregarded given the
exponential growth of information and
communication technologies (ICT) [1,2]. Since
technology advances, it may be implemented in
a variety of forms in @ variety of fields, including
education. Ghavifekr et al. [3] argue that the use
of ICT jin the classroom is crucial for providing
students with opportunities to acquire and
implement the necessary 2%st-century skills.
Despite widespread optimism about technology's,
potential to revolutionize the classroom, its usage
remains mostly superficial [4]. Utilization of
technology in education has increased over time,
particularly (The Coronavirus Disease — 19
(COVID-19) pandemic has altogether changed
the traditional dynamics of teaching and learning
to online mode). This further necessitated the
Use of computers and other electronic gadgets
as the primary mode of technology which has
tured our lives completely different [5].
55
The graph of technological advancement has
increased and will continue to rise. Teachers are
making use of technology to help students in
teaching, guidance, and mentoring. As for the
students, their use of technology helps them in
research, learning and evaluation of their
performance [6] Since the last few decades, we
are experiencing the digital transformation known
2 the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), which is
defined by the merging of technologies and the
consequent dissolution of boundaries that
separate the physical characteristics, electronic,
‘and physiological realms. Moreover, it is
associated with the presentation and use of
technology [7]. While technology is constantly
changing how we live, Gullan [8] argues that the
education and training spheres are reaping their
benefits. This study explores to know how
students may become excessively dependent on
technology for their learning which may limit their
ability to learn and problem-solve on their own
without the aid of technology.
This study seeks to understand the offects of
technology on education: teaching and learning
Education and contemporary technologies have
revolutionized the way we acquire knowledge
‘and acoass information. Modern technologies
have made education more accessible and
practical than ever before. Teachers stil follow
the conventional methods of instruction in use
today, sometimes illuminating lessons with clips
from YouTube or presentations using PowerPoint
to highlight key ideas. It is obvious that students
need to abandon these study habits and adopt
new leaming strategies that will pique their
interest in the subject matter, allow them to use
their smart gadgets, and foster a sense of
‘community among classmates [9]. As a result,
institutions and individuals invest heavily in
educational technology, including hardware,
applications, connectivity to the Intemet, and
other educational necessities [10]
2. DATA COLLECTION METHOD
Data for this study were gleaned from secondary
sources including peer-reviewed journal papers,
published and unpublished dissertetions, online
and print textbooks, and encyclopaedias.
According to Saunders et al, [11], SecondaryMainlalose and tlamto; Asian J Edue. Soe. Stud, vol 47, no. 2, pp. 54-63, 2023; Article no AJESS. 107584
data are advantageous as they do not need any
more work to gather or analyse, rather they give
@ nonintrusive measurement, and reanalysing
them might lead to unanticipated discoveries and
lessons learned (P:351)
3. TOOLS NEEDED FOR TEACHING AND
LEARNING
Understanding how computer science, as well as
technology, may be used to improve education is
crucial in today’s world when they play such a
pervasive part in our everyday lives. Both
students and teachers have benefited from the
widespread accessibility, low cost, and high
productivity of technology gadgets and resources
[12]. Cloud computing is a model of delivering
computing resources, such as servers, storage,
databases, software, and networking, over the
internet, These resources are provided as a
service and are accessible to users on demand.
Cloud computing allows businesses,
organizations, and individuals to access
computing resources quickly and easily, without
the need for expensive herdware or
infrastructure. The cloud computing model is
based on the principle of resource sharing and
Pooling, allowing users to scale up or down their
computing resources as needed, and pay only
‘for what they use [13-15]
Pinchuk [17] suggested that electronic social
networking in teaching and learning has a
synergistic consequence. However, pedagogical
strategies are beneficial in implementing a
curriculum. Furthermore, electronic social
networking in education is connected to solving

several psychological, _ pedagogical, and,
‘organisational problems, thereby strengthening
information security rights, and protecting data in
information networks [17]. These technological
tools’ availability helps learners access the
relevant and latest theories and practices in
‘education
4. USES OF ICT IN TEACHING AND
LEARNING
Learning has been and continues to be an
‘ongoing process. In pursuit of their objectives,
learners seek knowledge that exists through
conventional approaches [18], This leads
learners to anticipate and be open to exploring
New sources of information, such as ICT or
educational tools. Such results in learners
‘expecting and willing to seek a new knowledge
source ICT or leaming tools [19]. Kent & Facer
[20] indicated that a school is a virtual setting in
which learners share a range of leaming tools.
Learning tools are the dominant tool for
educational change and reform [19]. It makes
wider entry to education, and learning can occur
anytime and anyplace. Through learning tools
teaching, the environment becomes learner-
centred [21] as leamers are actively directing
how learning occurs. Leaming tools provide both
learners and teachers with educational,
affordances and possibilities [19]. Literature has
found that following usages of ICT in teaching
and leaming has many advantages. The
following are the uses of ICT in Teaching and
Learning,

Assist learners to access digital information
efficiently and effectively; the use of ICT as a
leaming tool, leamers devise learning
materials, find solutions, and solve problems
given to them or come across in real-life
situations, acquire usable knowledge and
understandable operation (22)
Support leamer-centred and self-directed
leaming; leamers regularly engage in
consequential usage Sanchez and Aleman,
2011 [21], and build knowledge through
accessing, selecting, organising, and
interpreting data and information
Produce creative learning surrounding;
leamers develop a new understanding of
their leaming areas [23]. More creative
solutions to different types of leaming
enquiries are provided using ICT. For
example, in @ Technology class,
Technological Kits are commonly used to
build prototypes modelling existing products.
Leamers can access all types of apparatus
used in construction, mechanics, electrical
and processing at an early age, develop an
interest and later pursue a career in one of
these career paths. Therefore, such learning
involves purpose-designed applications that
provide innovative ways to mest a variety of
leaming needs [19}
Promote collaborative learning in a distance-
leaming environment, leamers can
communicate, share and work collaboratively
anywhere, at any time [24]. Through
teleconferencing, learners can invite learners
from around the world to gather
simultaneously for a topic discussion [19],
can analyse problems and explore ideas and
develop concepts. Furthermore, learners not
only acquire knowledge together but also
share diverse learning experiences with one
another to express themselves and reflect on
their learning [19].
Offer opportunities to promote “ertical
thinking skills"; a study conducted by
McMahon [25] showed statistically significant
correlations between studying with ICT and
the acquisition of critical thinking skills.
Leamers exposed longer to the ICT
environment emerge as leamers with higher
critical thinking skills. Thus, schools strongly
integrate Technology across all the learning
areas and among all levels [19] so that
leamers can apply technology to the
attainment of a higher level of cognition
within specific learning contexts.
Improve teaching and leering quality; in
studies conducted by Lowther et al. [26],
87
three essential characteristics are needed to
develop good quality teaching and leaming
with ICT: namely autonomy, capability, and
creativity. According to Fu [19], autonomy
means that learners control their leaming
through ICT to become more capable of
working by themselves and with others.
Furthermore, he mentioned that teachers
could authorise learners to complete specific
tasks with their peers or groups. Through
collaborative learning with ICT, leamers have
more opportunities to build new knowledge
onto their existing knowledge and become
more confident to take risks and learn from
their mistakes. Serhan [27] concluded that
ICT fosters autonomy by allowing teachers to
create their material, thus providing more
control over learning content than possible in
a traditional classroom.
‘Once leamers are positive towards leaming
practices, they flourish in the capability to
apply and transfer knowledge while using
new technology efficiently and effectively.
For example, in a Technology design and
make-skill class, learners may be asked to
design end make an electrical device that
villages may use at home that notifies them if
they invade their homes during the night.
They are required not only to design but also
to make @ device that solves the problem.
Then, they make this model of the device
and present how it works or solves the
problem. Before completing the task, they
must know or investigate existing products
based on the material's suitabilty, cost, and
availability. Finding these existing products,
evaluating them, and coming up with a better
solution to the problem is another
prerequisite for these leamers.
Therefore, leaming tools are vital factors in
effective teaching and learning, especially in a
Technology classroom. Technology
teaching and leaming become stressful for
teachers and leamers as resources are scarce.
Only improvisation or theory is done in
classrooms. Most leamers feel no need
to try or engage themselves as they must go and
look for materials around them to work
with as it is time-consuming and frustrating.
Besides, in a technology classroom is mandatory
to have at least some form of tools,
especially the basic technological Kits Tools, for
learners’ motivation to ease their stress
when creatively designing and making a
particular product in their design and making

5. LIMITATION OF ICT USE IN THE
CLASSROOM
Not enough people have been trained to
implement this new method of teaching and
leaming, and those who are already in the field
need more instruction to make the most of the
opportunities presented by moder classroom
technology. Unfortunately, few educational
institutions can afford to invest in technology
throughout the classroom. It takes a long time
because: The integration of technology into the
classroom is @ lengthy process. The quality of
classroom desktop computers and digital
cameras is low. Computer problems: irregular
power supply has been a mejor barrier to the
successful implementation of computers in the
classroom as a response to computer failure.
Osasebor and Oribhabor [26] note that the lack
of power in rural regions is a barrier to the use of
computers in the classroom. Due to the
adaptability of the human mind and the
limitations of technology, computers will never be
able to replace human problem solvers.
Unfortunately, sometimes the tools we use to
teach with are just plain wrong [29]
One of the problems with technology is that it
isn't always easy to use. Because not everyone
can afford to acquire the most cutting-edge
technology, schools and other educational
institutions should invest in it so that pupils, as
well as teachers, may use it to study [5]. More
and more educators are beginning to see the
value of incorporating electronic resources and
tools into the classroom [30]. However, Gressard
and Loyd [31] suggested that educators’
perspectives on the use of technology in the
classroom are crucial, They noted that not all
educators have a favourable outlook on
technology, which might spell trouble for
computer-based initiatives. Teacher mindsets
and opinions might prevent the full integration of
technology into the instructional design [32],
even though technology offers numerous novel
possibilities for addressing problems including
methods of learning, student-centred teaching,
and the reinforcement of higher-order thought
processes,
6. EMPIRICAL REVIEW OF THE
EFFECTS OF TECHNOLOGY ON
EDUCATION
The use of technology in the classroom has both
beneficial and potential implications. Both
58
educators and leamers should see this as an
opportunity to overcome obstacles that are
preventing many individuals and institutions from
reaching their full potential [33]. Most students in
this survey agreed that using digital
presentations in their technology courses would
be beneficial and that doing so would help them
to think more critically and provide more
reasoned responses in exams. The findings of
this study suggest, among other things, that
students in the experimental educational setting
who participated in the intervention had better
leaming outcomes than their counterperts in the
placebo group who had been taught using more
conventional approaches. These successes and
outcomes are mirrored in students’ engagement
with the material throughout the educational
process, and they were also evident in the post-
test, whereby the class performed much well
then the control group's performance [9]
With digital tools, today’s students may travel the
world without "ever leaving their desks
Incorporating a guest speaker into a session is a
great way to provide variety and excitement.
Thanks to advancements in video conferencing
technology, we may easily have a guest lecturer
from across the country or across the world join
‘our class for an in-person discussion. It is simple
to sot up a video chat with students at another
school. All children, including shy youngsters
who would not normally raise their hands in
class, are involved in online surveys and other
digital tools. Using online engagement tools,
instructors can routinely check in with their
students and ask for feedback on course
materials end assignments. Understanding
where students are having difficuty may also be
gleaned through student perspectives. By
encouraging student participation and providing
immediate feedback, response systems for the
classroom foster good digital _ citizenship.
Education technology may also facilitate the use.
of quizzes as an active leaming technique. With
the use of social media, whiteboards with
interactive elements, and other tools, students
may get right into working on a project together
in class, where they can easily connect with one
another and build off each other's concepts.
Students are free to work together regardless of
their location or socioeconomic status, Students
may now easily take part in impromptu
conversations and get prompt responses to any
questions or concerns they may have about a
topic. This helps students to complete their
assignments at different times due to factorsMainlalose and tlamto; Asian J Edue. Soe. Stud, vol 47, no. 2, pp. 54-63, 2023; Article no AJESS. 107584
including autonomous teaming and individual
differences [34]
‘An in-depth familiarity with both the medium and
the theory behind online education is an asset to
the field. The contribution of human intellect to
the creation of strategies and knowledge is
crucial. Concepts and technologies are
susceptible to interactional and experiential
procedures. The primary and most prevalent goal
of educational technologists is to increase
productivity, which includes both intellectual
growth and the efficiency of the educational
process. Every detail counts when it comes to
putting technology into action; it is about more
than just equipment [35]. Teachers and students
can work together more effectively in the
classroom. it broadens their horizons
intellectually and academically, preparing them
for a range of roles in the field of education
Using a wide range of technology and software,
the classroom experience is enriched. The
potential of incorporating cutting-edge innovation
into educational meterials and procedures is
enormous. Individualized teaching, the use of
multidimensional and digital media assistance
material, and effective and efficient management
of various educational institutions are only a few
of the numerous demands and necessities of the
modem day that are met by this technology [36].
To educate and learn about new technologies,
schools and other educational institutions need
to have access to them. However, not everyone
can afford to acquire the most cutting-edge
devices outright. Teachers and students who are
interested in using a scarce resource may have
to wait for many hours before getting their turn.
‘They may have to spend time getting to and from
school to use the equipment, which might be
inconvenient. If the technology is novel to the
market, there wil likely be fewer people who are
familiar with how to utlize it, making it more
dificult to locate a competent teacher. Cheating
methods are also becoming more sophisticated
as technology develops. College students invent
novel strategies and tools to excel in
examinations. Graphical devices such as
calculators, technologically advanced watches,
small cameras, and similar items have evolved
into reliable exam-cheating aids due to
technological progress. They may be more
motivated to leam thanks to technology, but
instructors often report that it is difficult to get
them to stop texting or playing games during
cles. Addiction to these things prevents
students from concentrating on their schoolwork
59
at home, which in tum leads to poor performance
in academics, extracurriculars, and even sports.
There has been a dramatic deterioration in
writing abilities because of the widespread use of
computers in the classroom. In addition, today's
students are so used to employing keyboard
shortcuts for everything from video games to
social media chats that they often employ the
same strategies while writing. Students relying
on autocorrect do not leam proper grammatical
Use, cursive writing, or word spelling. Students
have grown apathetic because of the widespread
sage of laptop computers in the classroom. AS
well as pupils’ delicate motor skills have suffered
as aresult [5]
Hardware failures, incompatibiliies between
home and school software, sluggish or non-
existent internet connections, and antiquated
program versions are just some of the reliability
issues that students and teachers face at school.
Technological lag, such as poor wireless fidelity
(WiFi), causes lessons to run late because
materials take too long to load, students’
assignments don't get submitted on time, and
their laptops shut down during examinations,
‘among other problems. Investing in cutting-edge
technology is expensive: hiring a trainer and
purchasing the necessary gear will add up
quickly [37,36]. Ajayi [39] said that IT-assisted
‘education offers four primary benefits, which he
explained in detail below. (a). IT's. ability to
facilitate the exchange of knowledge and
resources has @ positive effect on the quality of
education provided to educators. (b). It
accelerates the rate at which new educators may
be produced. (c) It can accommodate many
students and allow them to receive instruction
regarcless of their physical location, making
education more widely available. Education
becomes less capital-intensive as IT-assisted
solutions minimize or eliminate the need for large
financial expenditures to replicate large
classrooms, labs, and libraries.
The writing abilities of today’s youth have been
impacted very significantly due to the widespread
use of Internet conversing and_altematives.
Students these days spend so much time typing
messages that they have completely abandoned
the art of writing. They are unable to write in
cursive, utilize good language, or spell correctly.
Modern innovations like graphical calculators,
high-tech gadgets, and small cameras have
given dishonest students a leg up on the
competition. Students may more easily and
discreetly copy and paste formulae and takeMainlalose and tlamto; Asian J Edue. Soe. Stud, vol 47, no. 2, pp. 54-63, 2023; Article no AJESS. 107584
notes using graphing calculators. Many students
now enjoy using Short Message Services
(SMS) or text messaging as a kind of recreation.
It is not uncommon to see a student fiddling with
their iPhone or other mobile device in the car, at
night, or even in class. Having constant access
to the interet has been linked to a deciine in
students’ attention and performance in the
clessroom [33] as well as in various
extracurricular endeavours.
According to Durek and Saritepec’s [40] findings,
students’ average scores on the studs intra-
classroom interaction and _—_behaviour
management sub-scale were greater than those
on the other sub-scales item counts. The lowest
average ratings were found in the category of
classroom order_and_ instruction. Teachers’
usage of technology had a minor impact on
classroom management. Except for deily internet
usage, there was no statistically significant
relationship between teachers’ degree of
utilization of technology in the classroom and
their ability to maintain order in the classroom.
The notion that using @ collaborative board in the
classroom improved classroom management
popped out when reviewing the findings collected
from qualitative data, The employment of the
dynamic whiteboard as a presenting tool in the
classroom may have contributed to this
impression. Teachers, on the other hand, said
that tablet usage in the classroom resulted in
challenges with time management, poor student
conduct, and occasional disruptions during class.
‘Arguably the most obvious positive effect of
technology within the classroom is the
democratization of knowledge. The availabilty of
both historical and current data is facilitated. The
accessibility of information on the internet has
facilitated the use of technology to facilitate
distance education, Due to the internet's
accessibility and simplicity, technology has
faciitated distance education. One of the major
factors that boost originality is the convenience
with which information can be accessed thanks
to technological advancements; when people
have an idea or notice something interesting,
they can simply Google it and find @ wealth of
related information, which in tum expands their
horizons and inspires more originality. Students
are more likely to pay attention and remain
focused when they engage with technology in the
classroom. Using technology in the classroom
increases students’ ability to remember what
they have learned for longer. When a student
grasps a concept with complete dedication, itis
60
advantageous for both the student's
development and the instructors sense of
accomplishment. Students retain greater
information when they have opportunities to
engage with visual content [41] for the reason to
the increased usage of technology in the
classroom,
‘One negative effect of pupils’ increased reliance
on technology is that they ere becoming more
introverted and less interested in interacting with
others. They get dependent on technology very
quickly, which leads to even greater
dependence. Another big cause of distraction in
modern life is technology. They do not bother to
really study anything, instead opting to access
the many false claims that populate the web
Their abilty to lean is hindered by the availability
of irrelevant and improper information. Students’
social skills are being hampered by the fast
development of technology in the classroom.
They are losing their ability to think
independently and are instead becoming more
reliant. They are becoming less resourceful
because of their increased reliance on
technology. Students’ health suffers from
‘overexposure to technology. The effects of
technology on health extend beyond the
physiological to the psychological. Obesity,
reduced blood flow, a bent spine, poor posture,
headaches, and impaired vision are just some of
the possible physical consequences. Being
distracted, anxiety, and depressive disorders are
all possible mental or psychological impacts.
Most students squander their spare time on the
Internet, despite its potential usefulness. A
student's leaming is hindered when they spend
too much time on non-essential research [47,42]
and squander their time on useless material
7. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS
With the advent of video conferencing
technology, it is the same for a professor to join
us in class from across the county or even from,
anywhere across the lobe. A video conversation
with pupils from another school may be set up
quickly and easily. Students who may be too
bashful to raise their hands in class are
nonetheless encouraged to participate in online
polls and other digital tools. Teachers may more
easily monitor their classes and collect student
feedback using online engagement tools.
Students may get directly into working on a
project together in class with the use of social
media, whiteboards with interactive components,
and other technologies, meking it easy toMainlalose and tlamto; Asian J Edue. Soe. Stud, vol 47, no. 2, pp. 54-63, 2023; Article no AJESS. 107584
connect with one another and build off one
another's ideas. It doesn't matter where they live
or how much money they have, students are free
to collaborate with one another. Thanks to IT
developments, classroom collaboration between
teachers and students is more efficient than ever.
It broadens their academic and intellectual
horizons, making students more versatile in the
classroom. A variety of hardware and software
are used to improve the educational
environment. Technology's beneficial impact on
the classroom is the increased accessibility of
educational materials. Both past and present
information may be easily accessed. Due to the
internet's accessibility, remote learning may now
be supported by technological means. When
students utilize technology in the classroom, they
fare more likely to pay attention and keep it up.
Students retain more of what they leam when
they are exposed to technological tools in the
classroom, Students can use search engines to
conduct research.
There are several unpredictable issues that
students and instructors experience in the
classroom, including hardware failures, software
incompatibilities between home and school, slow
or non-existent internet connections, and
outdated application versions. No one at school
can spell, use proper grammar, or even write in
cursive. Dishonest pupils now have an
advantage over their peers because of
technological advancements like graphical
calculators, high-tech devices, and compact
cameras. Graphing calculators allow students to
copy and paste formulas and take notes more
simply and covertly. Students develop an
unhealthy dependency on technology that only
worsens with time. Technology is a major
contributor to the distractions that plague
contemporary society. They avoid doing actual
research and instead rely on the numerous
unsubstantiated assertions they may find on the
internet. The availabilty of incorrect or
unnecessary data hinders their capacity for
learning, The availability of incorrect or
unnecessary data hinders their capacity for
leaming. The rapid evolution of educational
technology is having a negative impact on
students’ interpersonal skills. They are growing
less able to think for themselves and more
dependent on others. Their growing dependence
‘on modern conveniences is making them less
resourceful. Overuse of technology has negative
effects on students’ health. Technology's
influence on health goes beyond the physical to
include the mental
