Introduction
Background of the Study
Technological innovation has been a hallmark for the changes in the academic learning in the universities. Academic institutions have been changed from the traditional approach of education to modern methods of the education. Technological innovations have changed the pattern d education system all over the world (Voogt et al. 2017). The use of the technology in the academics have replaced pen and paper with internet. Modern education system has been totally based on the use of the internet. Various researches have been done in the improvements of the education system. The drastic changes in the education system have created both positive and negative impacts on the students and other elements of the education system. Various Online degrees, programs, and distance learning have created a niche channel in order to get education from anywhere. New Era of learning process has been based on problem-solving skills (Khan 2016). In recent years, a new wave of experimental learning has been flooded in the education system. However, at national level university publicly supported institutions for developing experimental learning methods in the disciplines. Funds have been collected from various resources for the implementation of technical changes in the education system. The technical changes in education system have helped in enhancing the curriculum of students in the universities (McCutcheon et al. 2015). The e-learning process have helped in maintaining a keen approach towards the development of the career of students.
There is a need for change in the education system for enhancing the growth of students in universities. The use of various techniques and tools have helped in providing experimental based learning in the university (Henderson, Selwyn and Aston 2017). The results and outcomes of the technological changes have been positive with respect to development of students in the universities. Allocation of proper resources at correct time have helped in implementing technological changes in the education system. The digitalization of education system have created various opportunities for the students in the education system. Social media have create an important impact in the advertisements of educational changes and administration process of universities (Hwang and Wu 2014). However, various university participants have positively replied to several questions related to the online learning asked during a survey. This reflects that this concept have positively affected the career of the students in the university.
Technological changes in the education system have helped in maintaining a new approach towards studies in universities. Traditional method of learning have created a base for the students to develop their basic skills. However, technological impact on the education have helped in developing practical skills among students, the new approach towards the education system have focused e-learning concept that might help students in enhancing their meta strength and thinking power (Škrinjari? 2014). However, many universities are still using traditional approach of education that have created problem in career growth of students. The use of computer technology have made drastic changes in the education system that will be discussed in the study. Federal school technology initiatives alone, for example, increased from $21 million in 1995 to $729 million in 2001. Market Data Retrieval accentuated this trend in that, despite continually declining budgets, 70% of school districts across the nation anticipated technology spending to increase or remain unchanged in the 2006 fiscal year.
Rationale
However, such changes in the education system have been facing some criticism from different researchers. The current push in the technology have resulted in the degradation in use of the internet by students. The mainstream data of the internet has been depicted to its negative effects on career of students (Bates 2014). However, the use of the computer in the universities have various benefits in administrative work including student record in databases and security to data and information. Technological education in universities have helped in self-study for students rather coming to university. Therefore, the personality development of students is hampered. This might create problem in providing technical education in the universities.
This research reflects the changes in the education system due to the technological implementation. The challenges faced in implementing technological changes in the education system have been discussed in the research. The impact of research-based evidence on the education system will be reflected in this study. The study will help in providing recommendations in order to improve the education system.
The aim of the research is to identify the changes in the education system due to the implementation of technology.
The objectives of the research are as follows:
- To identify challenges faced by students due to traditional approach of education system
- To critically analyze the changes in the education system due to technology
- To identify challenges faced to implement technological changes in the education system
- To recommend strategies for mitigating these challenges in the education system
The research questions are as follows:
- What are the challenges faced by students due to traditional approach of education system?
- How technological changes have affected education system?
- What are the challenges faced to implement technological changes in the education system?
- How to mitigate challenges in education system due to technological changes?
The potential of technical education for reforming education is a primary interest of educators and education institutions. The use of computers software and hardware have helped in mitigating several issues in universities (Lewis and Kelly 2014). The problem discussed in the study is that there is not enough knowledge about technological change in the education system. The elementary change in the education system include infrastructure of classrooms might create problem in technological change. The awareness among students and their parents has been main problem in implementation of technological change in the education system.
This study will focus in the impact of technology implementation on education system. The figures and facts in the research will be taken from various online journals and books. A descriptive methodology will help in analyzing the impact if the technology in the education system (Kirkwood and Price 2014). The research will support leaders in the education institution for the help in order to implement technology in education. The footprint of the professionals can be learned over the internet. The emergence of new technologies have created a space for the learning methods at universities. New technologies have been created new smart goals and objectives for the students in order to gather knowledge and enhance their skills. The analysis of the collected data and information will be done by both quantitative and qualitative analysis method. The research will focus on involvement of technology in the education system in order to improve skills of students and interest in universities. The research will support the significance of 21st century society in order to modernize the behavior of thinking among students.
Research Aim, Objectives and Questions
H1: Technological changes in the education system have not made any kind of changes in the education system. Students are still using the traditional way of learning of their studies
H2: Technological changes have created a major impact in the education system. Innovative ways are created for the growth of the student.
Summary
This can be summarized that the basic introduction of the research topic has been discussed in the chapter the use of the technology in the education system have changed the scenario of the academic courses in the universities. The impact of the technology in the education system has been discusses on the chapter. Aim, Objectives and research questions have been initialized in a chapter that helps in proceeding in the research.
Traditional Approach of Learning
The traditional approach of teaching include the directed flow of data and information from teacher to the student as a receptacle. This approach has been continuing since ancient times in each perspectives. As commented by Ford (2015), the abilities of students are tested by this traditional approach of learning. The direct flow of information from teacher to student helps in maintaining a healthy relationship between them. Practical approach of the learning has been less in this approach. The theoretical approach of has been high in this method of learning. This learning method is a problem-based learning method that enables student to solve any type of problem during the education system. As mentioned by Frey and Osborne (2017), the learning method is based on the scientific method of solving problems in the system. The logical thinking if the student is increased in the form of preceding lines of theory. The realistic problem-solving attitude is developed in the traditional method of learning. The traditional method of learning is depended on the pen paper way of learning things in the world. In this approach, of the student is able to understand the problems, the solution to the problem can be made by using different to theories and models related to that problem.
It is generally a mixture of reduced integrated process of utilizing foreign language into different sub-sets of discrete skills and knowledge. As suggested by Susskind and Susskind (2015), the traditional method of learning have been clearly mentioned in order to maintain the basic knowledge of the students in the class. The use of various methodology on the use of traditional approach have been maintained by different teachers in the schools and colleges. The teaching of grammar for a particular literature have provided a basic approach to the learning if the students in the schools and colleges. The use of the traditional learning can be mentioned in order to provide a basic approach to the learning of students. The teaching professionals have acquire a great and respectable position in the society that have helped in providing a general approach to the basic structure of learning. The new ways of expecting teaching approach has been quickly adopting in the society. The grammatical knowledge of the student in differ schools and colleges have been providing a basic approach to the learning. The use of traditional methodology of learning can be maintained in the mind of the student that have created a vocabulary in their minds. As commented by Christiansen and Weber (2017), this articulated the phenomenon of pronunciation of words in the schools by students. Grammatical mistakes have been a common problem among the students that can be reduced by the traditional method of learning. Ally and Prieto-Blázquez (2014) describes that the grammatical translation in different language helps in maintaining the curiosity level of the students towards study.
Problem Statement
The subject matter can be revised for the benefit of learning of student in the university. Teachers used to provide a daily homework to the students that helps in maintaining the revision if the study at home. Therefore, tis traditional method of learning has been beneficial for the student in every context. The traditional methodology describes highest priority to the foreign language.
As commented by Blackwell, Lauricella and Wartella (2014), modern methodology has been convincing the limitations of the traditional learning. Modern methodology of learning is student-centered compared to traditional learning. According to Bulman and Fairlie (2016), modern learning include involvement of technology in the learning methods of the student in university. The use of technology have created a great impact on the learning methods of student. The motivation provided by the modern learning has been driving the kinds of the student in the university. However, in this case, teacher is not ready to help them out, unlikely they used to encourage and motivate students for learning. The learning methods of this methodology has been different from the traditional methodology. The use of technology in the modern methodology have change the scenario of learning (Grewal, Motyka and Levy 2018). Communication has been focus of this earning approach. Different technological platforms are created for encouraging the communication technical among students. Different social media networks and other chatting create have been used for increasing the communication ability of the student in the university. The goal of the modern methodology is different from the traditional approach. As commented by (), the aim of the modern methodology is more practical based than the previous one. The use of the technology in the academics have replaced pen and paper with internet. Modern education system has been totally based on the use of the internet.
As commented by Hayes and Graham (2017), the drastic changes in the education system have created both positive and negative impacts on the students and other elements of the education system. The teaching professionals are more concentrated in teaching students about the practical session of the theory. The main teaching skill in the modern method of learning are listening, speaking, writing and reading. Therefore, group discussion has been main aspect for the learning method. Different groups are created in order to enhance their communication skills. Intensive reading and writing have helped in enhancing their skills. The tasks needs to be improved in their skills, numbers and addresses. Various researches have been done in the improvements of the education system. As commented by Kirkwood and Price (2014), the modern approach of learning have helped in improved the skills in the memory of the students. It has focused in improving the knowledge and skills of the students in the university. The technical approach of the teachers have helped in providing a practical learning approach to the students. The IT experiences in the learning system have helped in providing a better approach to the learning skills of the students in the university. The use of various technical gadgets including smart phones, e-dictionary have helped in enhancing the technical knowledge of students in the university.
Significance of the Study
Impact of technology in future learning education
The technology have drastically affected the learning procedure of the students in various universities and other learning institutions. The use of various technical procedures including projectors, online e-learning and online classes have helped in providing high quality education ot students. As mentioned by Cheng et al. (2014), technical learning include various advanced methodologies that help in providing quality learning to students. Online classes have helped in providing classes over the internet to the students at home. Students can attend their lectures over the internet at home. Therefore, this have helped in minimizing extra time for travelling and other wastages. Students can concentrate in their studies at home. The footprint of the professionals can be learned over the internet. The emergence of new technologies have created a space for the learning methods at universities. New technologies have been created new smart goals and objectives for the students in order to gather knowledge and enhance their skills. As commented by Stromquist and Monkman (2014), a practical approach has been followed by this technological approach of learning, the technical environment in the schools and colleges have created motivation among the students. Various new technologies including Web 2.0 and digital classroom have helped in connecting students to the technical aspect of learning (Bernard et al. 2014). Digital games have helped in increasing the analytical thinking of students. Modern games are highly modifies by graphical and strategy that helped in enhancing the thinking power of the student. The civilization of the human being have been changing with the implementation of the technology in the learning system (Sanders and George 2017). The use of various digital gadgets in the learning system have minimized the complexity in the studies. Therefore, student can easily understand the demographics of the book. The theoretical knowledge has been changed into practical knowledge due to the implementation of technology in learning system. As mentioned by Arbaugh (2014), various web-based steps are available from where students can access books and journals related to their studies. This helps in maintaining the skills of the student. New technologies in the learning system have helped in maintaining enhancing skills of the students in the university.
Research methodology focuses on the procedure followed in the research in order to complete in a proper and legal manner. The use of the methodology have been discussed in the chapter. The research methodology include research philosophy, research approach, research design, data collection method, sample size, limitations and ethical consideration. This research will use positivism philosophy to analyze the hypothesis created in the first chapter. The use of the positivism philosophy have helped in focusing in the existing theories and models related to the technological impact on studies (Bozkurt et al. 2015). The research will follow the descriptive research design that helps in describing the objectives of the research and able to focus on the aim and hypothesis created in the research. Data will be collected from primary sources by conducting online Survey and Interview. There will be 55 students of various universities taken as sample size for the online survey. Three principals of Universities will be interviewed with five open-ended questions. Data will be analyzed using quantitative analysis. The research will select deductive approach in order to maintaining the focus on both objectives and goals of the research Deductive approach helps in deductive al the unnecessary elements in the research (Darling-Hammond 2015). This also helps in focusing in the aim, objectives and goals of the research. The research will select descriptive research design for outlining the framework for the research. The descriptive research design help in maintaining proper approach to the research by outlining.
Hypothesis
Data collection is an important part of the research. There are two types of data collection method including primary and secondary. Data will be collected from primary sources by conductive online survey with 55 students. There will be 10 close-ended questions in the survey questionnaires posted in their official website. The online survey will help in collecting the data by answering the questions in the questionnaires. The answers of the participants will be gathered as data and information for the research. The population for the research will be 90. However, by random sampling method 55 participants are selected for the survey. The sample size for the survey will be 55 students of the Will campus and 10 survey questions will be added in the questionnaires. Random sampling eliminates bias by giving all individuals an equal chance to be chosen. Therefore, we have selected this method. From the population, 55 participants have been found more suitable for the survey related to the research topic. Remaining 35 participants did not answered the questions correctly and hence, there answers could not be taken as data and information for the research. Three principals of Universities using modern technique of teachings will be interviewed in a face-to-face interview with five open-ended questions related to the effect of technology in the modern education system. The data will be analyzed with the help of quantitative data analysis method. Data and information will be analyzed and results will be published using the Likert Scale (Spector et al. 2014).
There might be some limitations faced during the data collection method. The participants might not be providing proper answers to the questions included in survey questionnaires. The answers might be filled haphazardly or under any influence. The time and budget might be the major limitations for the research. The time provided for the research might not be appropriate for the completing the research in a proper way. However, the researcher will manage to complete the research within the timeline provided (Simonson, Smaldino and Zvacek 2014). The budget for the research might be low due to which advanced techniques for analyzing data will not be used.
The research will maintain a proper ethical consideration and values. The data and information of the research will not be published in the market before its completion. The use of the personal in formation of the participants will it be disclosed in the public. The Data Protection Act 1998 will be strictly followed in the research (Topol 2015). The research will not harm any issues to the society. The name of any inistituirtion in the research will be used with proper authentication.
Literature Review
This research will focus on the impact of the technology on the future learning. Both the traditional and modern learning method will be critically analyzed in the research. The limitation of the traditional method will be analyzed and the use of the technology to mitigate these challenges will be discussed. This research will help in understanding the importance of technology in the learning system of students. The expected outcomes of the research might be depended on the utilization of technology in the education sector. The learning system will be enhanced with the technology and the advantages of using technical approach over the traditional approach of learning might be understood. The research will fulfill the research aim and objectives initiated in the first chapter.
