Technology is now at the center of our lives. It has of course affected education as it has carried us forward and developed us in every subject. Thanks to technology, education is now in a very different dimension. In fact, all the applications, websites and games I have described in the other posts of my blog are small innovations that technology brings to our education.
The actual thing I want to mention today is SAMR model.
It developed in 2010 by education researcher Ruben Puentedura. It is the most used method to compound education and technology. This model has four steps. These are substitution, augmentation, modification, and redefinition.
-Substitution: Technology acts as a direct substitute, with no functional change. The main idea of it is to running our writing things with technology.
For example; using "Word" to write an essay instead of a real paper.
-Augmentation: Technology acts and a direct substitute, with functional change. By using technology as a source of information, students can begin to learn actively without requiring constant teacher-led training.
For example; Students make more informative and engaging oral presentations with a PowerPoint containing multimedia elements.
-Modification: Technology allows for significant task redesign. For example, students can collaborate on shared documents or work in large groups. Working in groups fosters a more collaborative and dynamic class culture.
For example; Students produce podcasts that summarize a topic, which can then be accessed by other students as a source of revision.
-Redefinition: Technology allows for the creation of new tasks, previously inconceivable. It is the most advanced stage of SAMR. It provides students with strong technological skills such as digital collaboration, communication, technological literacy, and adaptation to new systems and processes.
For example; Recording students while giving a presentation or practicing a physical skill, then using that recording to get students thinking.
