Integration of computer technology and interactive learning in geographic education

Computer technology can be utilized to create interactive learning media in the form of multimedia. Along with the development of technology need to make a computer-based learning media to help learners and teachers in learning, especially mathematics. In school, teachers use the material only from cardboard media and affixed to the blackboard, and even then not the students who hold it, so far the teacher taught mathematics only using textbooks and LKS, even though the teacher already has a computer or laptop and in the school already has facilities to support the use of media based computer that is one of them is LCD projector. One way that can be done is to create interactive learning media and interesting for learners. This study aims to develop a computer-based learning media that is valid to help students understand about functions. The research steps to be done is to analyze the syllabus, RPP and textbooks, collect the required images or animations, create paper based media designs, create media on powerpoints, create frontpage, and ask to validate by experts and practitioners. The program used for the design of computer-based products is a frontpage program, microsoft power point. Learning media validated by three experts or validators and then be revised according to validator’s advice. Learning media is packaged in the form of compact disk (CD) and user manual.

Available computer technology requires a rethinking of the use of cartographic aids for geographic education. Electronic atlases have the potential to provide a new, exciting medium to promote geographic instruction. They can provide an active, integrative tool to teach geographic concepts and allow processes of higher learning to take place in an innovative, dynamic format. While students are exposed to geographic concepts through electronic atlas use, they also acquire computer skills which will be essential in the twenty-first century.

Learning Points

Computer technology is now an integral aspect of modern life. It is also a tool that can support the learning of different disciplines. Computer technology provides the possibility to display rich graphical images which may be especially important when teaching different branches of mathematics such as trigonometry. An on-screen image (diagram) clearly demonstrates the relationship between key learning points and how they interact. Furthermore, the dynamic nature of the associated program supports interactive learning in which the parameters may be modified and the result displayed - which is basis of the constructivist theory of pedagogy. This paper is a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the use of computer science as a tool to improve the teaching of trigonometry.

Stage 1

Developement of computer technology provides much improvements on electron microscopy, such as simulation of images, reconstruction of images and automatic controll of microscopes (auto-focussing and auto-correction of astigmatism) and design of electron microscope lenses by using a finite element method (FEM). In this investigation, procedures for simulating the optical properties of objective lenses of HREM and the characteristics of the new lens for HREM at 200 kV are described.The process for designing the objective lens is divided into three stages. Stage 1 is the process for estimating the optical properties of the lens. Firstly, calculation by FEM is made for simulating the axial magnetic field distributions Bzc of the lens. Secondly, electron ray trajectory is numerically calculated by using Bzc. And lastly, using Bzc and ray trajectory, spherical and chromatic aberration coefficients Cs and Cc are numerically calculated. Above calculations are repeated by changing the shape of lens until! to find an optimum aberration coefficients.

This study investigated factors that influence public school speech-language pathologists' acceptance and/or resistance to computer technology. Significant differences were found between speech-language pathologists who are frequent users of computers in the workplace and those who seldom or never use them. These differences were attributed to differences in attitudes toward computers, available funding for computers, in-service training, and physical facilities.

Situational Test

Advances in computer technology have created opportunities for the development of a multimedia situational test in which responses are filmed with a webcam. This paper examined the relationship of a so-called webcam test with personality, cognitive ability, job experience, and academic performance. Data were collected among 153 psychology students. In line with our expectations, scores on the webcam test, intended to measure interpersonally oriented leadership, were related to extraversion, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and job experience. Furthermore, the webcam tests significantly predicted students’ learning activities during group meetings over and above a cognitive ability test and a personality questionnaire. Overall, this study demonstrates that webcam tests can be a valid complement to traditional predictors in selection contexts.
