Literacy, Technology and Discernment: Investigating the Role of Information Technology in Literacy Education Abstract Regardless of geography, segments of the population struggle to read and write. This struggle is so pronounced that literacy has become an issue for many governments, and policies have been set in place to help ensure a literate society. Educators, in their struggle to respond to the problem, have looked to a variety of methods to help children become literate. One prominent means is the use of information technology and computer-assisted instruction. Because of its significant ole,r it is necessary for the Christian educator to examine the impact of computer technology, to investigate the role and extent of use of information technology in the classroom, and to form guiding principles that direct the purchasing and use of such technology. When the aforementioned is carefully examined and Biblical discernment is used in making decisions, information technology and computer-assisted instruction can be effectively employed to help students become literate citizens in society.

  • Standards for Technological Literacy
    New Media and Standards for Technological Literacy William E. Dugger, Jr. Technology for All Americans Project USA We live in a world that is increasingly dependent on technology. Technology has been a growing human endeavor since the first chipped-edge flint tool was created by our ancestors about 1.5 million years ago in what is now Kenya. Today, technology exists to a degree unprecedented in history. Furthermore, our technology is evolving at an extraordinary rate, with new technologies being created and existing technologies being improved and extended. Surprisingly, there is much confusion in today’s society about what technology actually is. Is technology computers? Is it new media? Is it calculators? Is it the result of rewiring school buildings to make them Internet accessible? The correct answer to each of these questions is “Yes — and much, much more.” Broadly speaking, technology is the way people modify (invent, innovate, change, alter, design) their natural environment to suit their own purposes. From the Greek word technè, meaning art or craft, technology literally means the art of making or crafting, but more generally it refers to the diverse collection of knowledge and processes that people use to extend human abilities and to satisfy human wants and needs. From improved communications to new biotechnologies to new wireless networks to new advances in engineering, technology is a key factor in the constant human quest to live longer, more productive lives. It is particularly important in this technological world that people understand and are comfortable with the concepts and workings of modern technology. From a personal standpoint, people benefit both at work and at home by being able to choose the best products for their purposes, to operate the products properly, and to troubleshoot them when something goes wrong.

  • Standards for Technological Literacy and STEM Education Delivery Through Career and Technical Education Programs
    Journal of Technology Education Vol. 23 No. 2, Spring 2012 Standards for Technological Literacy and STEM Education Delivery Through Career and Technical Education Programs The domestic and international marketplaces are changing, developing new technology and processes to improve productivity in every sector, requiring people to have different skills and attitudes about work. Arguably, technology and the new literacies associated with it have transformed the workplace more quickly and more deeply than any of our other institutions (Mikulecky & Kirkley, 1998). With these improvements, some segments within the workforce have experienced technical obsolescence. Today’s knowledge-based society that thrives on technological transformation has little room for those who cannot read, write, and compute proficiently; find and use resources; frame and solve problems; and continually learn new technologies and skills, as well as work in technical occupations (National Commission on Teaching and America’s Future, 1996). According to the U.S. Department of Labor, technical occupations require knowledge of scientific, engineering, and mathematical theories, principles, and techniques that enable individuals to understand how and why a specific device or system operates (United States Department of Labor, n.d). Democratic governance in knowledge-based societies like the United States relies on the ability of the general populace to make informed choices about the options made available to them by responsible scientific and technological progress (Busquin, 2002). In such societies, it is commonplace to say that relationships between science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines are becoming increasingly stronger, permeating the workplace and creating new literacy demands for solving daily work-related problems. Career and Technical Education (CTE) has traditionally been viewed as the cornerstone of workforce preparation.

  • Technological Literacy: a New Basic for Inclusion in the University’S CORE Curriculum
    Technological Literacy: A New Basic for Inclusion in the University’s CORE Curriculum Introduction Recent discussions in Ball State’s Core Curriculum Committee have lead to the following question, “Should the study of technology be included in a new core curriculum?” However, without establishing agreement on what technology and technological literacy are, the question may be difficult to answer. Using a term and truly understanding its meaning are really two different kinds of human behavior. As a product of human experiences, judgments and actions, technology impacts almost every aspect of society. Despite this, people seldom have the opportunity to study or develop an understanding of the concepts, systems, or consequences of technology (Gallup Poll, 2004). Far too many people see technology as technological artifacts such as computers, cell phones, or the space shuttle – “rather than a human endeavor to adapt to or change the natural world” (ITEA, 1991). Thus, to clarify what it is and why it should be included in Ball State University’s CORE curriculum, the following will provide a definition of technology and technological literacy, and establish a rationale for its inclusion in a CORE and the characteristics of a technologically literate person. Technology and Technological Literacy Defined While terms such as technology and literacy have been linked to certain phrases or slogans (e.g., adult literacy, computer literacy, etc.), current thought describes technology and technological literacy as: Technology is the generation or use of knowledge and processes to solve problems and extend human capabilities (Technology for All Americans Project, 1996) . “anything people do to modify the natural world to meet human needs” (Gallup Poll, 2005, p.

  • What Is Technological Literacy and Why Does It Matter?
    2006-695: WHAT IS TECHNOLOGICAL LITERACY AND WHY DOES IT MATTER? David Ollis, North Carolina State University Greg Pearson, National Academy of Engineering Greg Pearson is a Program Officer with the National Academy of Engineering in Washington, D.C. In that role, he develops and manages new areas of activity within the NAE Program Office related to technological literacy, public understanding of engineering, and engineering ethics. He currently serves as the responsible staff officer for the NSF-funded study, Assessing Technological Literacy in the United States, and the State Educators’ Symposium on Technological Literacy project, funded by the U.S. Department of Education. He previously oversaw NSF-funded work related to making the case for technological literacy (resulting in publication of the 2002 report, Technically Speaking: Why All Americans Need to Know More About Technology) and the NAE/NRC review of technology education content standards developed by the International Technology Education Association. He was staff lead for an internal NAE analysis of engineering ethics issues, a project chaired by NAE member Norm Augustine. He works collaboratively with colleagues within and outside the National Academies on a variety of other projects involving K-12 science, mathematics, technology, and engineering education, and the public understanding of engineering and science. He has an undergraduate degree in biology from Swarthmore College and a graduate degree in journalism from The American University.
