Paper Abstract:
|
In this study I try to shed light on complexities of applying ICT pedagogically meaningful ways into teaching and learning in classrooms. Eight ICT-mediated lessons were videotaped in one secondary school at the beginning of two-year developmental project. The lessons were analyzed qualitatively in activity theoretical framework. The results revealed two phenomena on the problems concerning integrating ICT into subject matter teaching: reversing nature of ICT and competing objects during the lesson. When pupils are learning to use ICT it has twofold role in the activity. It is both a tool and an object. Furthermore technical disturbances as well may turn presupposed tool into object in the middle of lessons. The results reveal also pupils and teachers using ICT to different purposes during lessons. Pupils and teachers share the tools but they are participating different or multiple activities during the lessons. The findings lay challenges to teachers in-service learning concerning computer literacy. Another challenge is directed to the developers of educational software, for planning easy-to-use applications that fascinates pupils more than games or surfing in the Internet. |
