Use Of Technology

Modern teens have pervasively integrated new technologies into their lives, and technology has become an important component of teen popular culture. Educators have pointed out the promise of exploiting technology to enhance students’ language and literacy skills and general academic success. However, there is no consensus on the effect of technology on teens, and scant literature is available that incorporates the perspective of urban and linguistically diverse students on the feasibility of applying new technologies in teaching and learning literacy in intact classrooms. This paper reports urban adolescents’ perspectives on the use of technology within teen culture, for learning in general and for literacy instruction in particular. Focus group interviews were conducted among linguistically diverse urban students in grades 6, 7 and 8 in a lower income neighborhood in the Northeastern region of the United States. The major findings of the study were that 1) urban teens primarily and almost exclusively used social media and technology devices for peer socializing, 2) they were interested in using technology to improve their literacy skills, but did not appear to voluntarily or independently integrate technology into learning, and 3) 8th graders were considerably more sophisticated in their use of technology and their suggestions for application of technology to literacy learning than 6th and 7th graders. These findings lead to suggestions for developing effective literacy instruction using new technologies.

New Vision

India has one of the largest systems of teacher education in the world. Besides the university departments of education and their affiliated colleges, government and government aided institutions; private and self-financing colleges and open universities are also engaged in teacher education. Though most teacher education programmes are nearly identical yet their standards vary across institutions and universities. However, teacher education curriculum across the country has been blamed for ineptitude and needs urgent reforms. Teacher educators are a pivotal point of this programme and their opinion regarding the curriculum is very important. Keeping the above in mind, the present study aimed to find out the attitude of teacher educators towards existing teacher education curriculum and the needed renewal in teacher education curriculum. Data was collected from randomly selected 107 teacher educators working in colleges of education affiliated to GGSIPU and M.D.U. A five point attitude scale was developed by the researchers for the purpose of ascertaining their attitude. The findings revealed that teacher educators are largely in disagreement with the current curriculum and hold that a new vision needs to be made for the education of teachers as per the present needs of globalisation, RTE norms, and adoption of inclusive education.
