Resume Chapter 1 Mengembangkan Rencana Teknologi

I.                   Tentukan model pengajaran anda

Dari teknologi pembelajaran hingga pembelajaran digital

Teknologi pendidikan telah ada selama beberapa dekade, tetapi laju inovasi adalah apa yang telah berubah dalam dekade terakhir ini. Dalam bidang pendidikan bahasa yang terus berkembang, luasnya teknologi komunikasi memberikan kemungkinan tanpa batas bagi guru dan siswa, tetapi juga memiliki potensi untuk membingungkan mereka dan menciptakan kegelisahan dan perlawanan. Suatu syarat bagi keberhasilan implementasi mereka adalah perlunya dorongan atau motivasi dan pengenalan yang bertahap, secara bertahap terhadap alat dan sumber daya baru.

Identifikasi profil teknologi pribadi Anda

Langkah pertama dalam proses adopsi/ pemakaian adalah menilai kesiapan diri sendiri untuk menerima teknologi baru. Para ahli sering menggunakan istilah ‘digital native’ dan ‘digital immigrants’. Maksud dari ‘digital native’ adalah seseorang yang tumbuh dan berkembang bersamaan dengan teknologi digital, sedangkan ‘digital immigrants’ adalah seseorang yang tumbuh tanpa teknologi digital dan mengadopsikannya setelah dewasa. Mayoritas siswa dan guru mungkin adalah penduduk asli digital, tetapi ini tidak berarti bahwa penggunaan teknologi secara sosial telah beralih ke kelas bahasa. Masih ada kebutuhan bagi banyak guru untuk berasimilasi dengan dunia pendidikan digital.

Siklus Adopsi

Selama dekade terakhir, para peneliti telah mengidentifikasi perilaku tertentu ketika memperkenalkan teknologi pembelajaran baru ke sekolah dan lembaga pendidikan lainnya. Perilaku ini telah dipetakan pada apa yang dikenal sebagai siklus adopsi. Adopsi teknologi melalui fase dengan cara yang sama seperti pada siklus adopsi. Perlahan-lahan, seiring berjalannya waktu, reaksi negatif ini membuka jalan bagi pendekatan yang lebih pragmatis terhadap teknologi pembelajaran baru, yang berakhir dengan penggunaannya yang produktif dalam proses pengajaran. Seberapa lancar transisi ini terjadi tergantung pada pelatihan dan dukungan yang efektif. Rencana pengembangan profesional yang kuat dapat menghilangkan pasang surut siklus hidup teknologi dan meratakan kurva belajar Anda sendiri.

Membuat rencana teknologi individual

Untuk memanfaatkan kekuatan teknologi secara paling efektif, baik di tingkat kelas individu atau di tingkat institusi secara keseluruhan, ada beberapa pertanyaan kunci yang perlu diingat:

1.      Apa keuntungannya?

Lihatlah setiap elemen teknologi yang ingin Anda gunakan dan cobalah untuk menentukan nilai spesifiknya untuk pengajaran Anda dan pembelajaran siswa Anda. Apakah ini akan membuat pekerjaan anda sebagai guru lebih mudah dengan membuat perencanaan lebih efisien? Apakah dengan menggunakan teknologi ini akan menjadikan pembelajaran lebih otentik dan relevan bagi pelajar? Melalui pertanyaan-pertanyaan ini akan membantu anda memutuskan apakah teknologi anda bisa diterapkan dan menyenangkan atau hanya alat yang terintegrasi.

2.      Bagaimana teknologi cocok dengan system yang ada (norma, nilai, dan tujuannya)?

Pada dasarnya tidak ada satu cara yang tepat untuk belajar, semua cara belajar itu baik. Oleh karena itu, pikirkan tentang bagaimana anda mengajar dan cara yang anada inginkan diterapkan pada siswa. Teknologi yang anda pilih harus mencerminkan keyakinan anda dan sesuai untuk konteks pendidikan tempat anada mengajar.

3.      Seberapa sulit untuk digunakan?

Meskipun integrasi teknologi mungkin memiliki dampak positif untuk saat ini hingga jangka panjang pada pengajaran dan pembelajaran, Anda perlu mempertimbangkan ini terhadap prioritas Anda yang lebih besar dan, mungkin, memilih untuk menunggu sebelum menyelam ke dalam sesuatu yang kompleks yang dapat mengalihkan perhatian Anda dan siswa dari hal-hal ini prioritas. Bahkan jika Anda merasa percaya diri dengan alat, Anda tentu tidak ingin menghabiskan banyak waktu di kelas membantu siswa memahami bagaimana menggunakannya.

4.      Apakah terlihat?

Maksudnya adalah apakah teknologi dapat berimplementasi dengan baik pada proses pembelajaran atau hanya berfokus pada teknologi tersebut saja. Seberapa penting peran teknologi dalam pengajaran Anda? Apakah alat akan mengalahkan tugas? Apa risiko gangguan? Banyak pendidik berpendapat bahwa implementasi teknologi terbaik adalah yang di mana teknologi menyatu dengan latar belakang dan menjadi tidak terlihat dalam proses pengajaran..

5.      Bisakah anda mengukurnya?

Maksudnya adalah apakah dengan penerapan teknologi dalam proses pembelajaran berdampak baik atau buruk pada proses pengajaran anda? Meskipun teknologi seharusnya tidak mendorong pelajaran, kita perlu menemukan cara untuk mengukur dampaknya. Ada baiknya Anda bertanya pada diri sendiri tiga pertanyaan yang sangat sederhana dan memikirkan contoh untuk jawaban masing-masing.

a.       Apakah siswa saya menyukai teknologi baru?

b.      Apakah mereka belajar menggunakan teknologi baru?

c.       Apakah mereka menggunakan teknologi baru untuk menunjukkan apa yang telah mereka pelajari?
