IMPACT OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY IN

EDUCATION

CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

1.1. Background

Technological developments have made many remarkable progress. Many


things from life sector that has used the existence of the technology itself.
Presence has a considerable impact on the lives of human beings in various
aspects and dimensions. Likewise with the communication technology is
hardware equipment in the organizational structure that contains social
value that enables individuals to collect, process and exchange information
(in Rogers, 1986). Such a situation, in which a technology capable of changing
something that may not be possible to be a reality. For example, if the first
person can not talk to other people who are in a place that is far away, then
after the phone people can talk without limits of time and distance. From
here, beginning with the discovery of a variety of simple devices, ranging
from phones, analog-based, developed and developing countries continue to
emerge many other electronic devices. Until finally this technology integrate
with one another. Existing communication technology is an answer from any
of the times. This occurs because of growing human civilization developed a
technology that will continue to experience growth pattern to align
civilization itself.

The term information technology became popular in the late 70s. In the past
the term information technology or computer technology called electronic
data processing (electronic data processing). Information technology is
defined as technology processing and dissemination of data using hardware
(hardware) and software (software), computer, communications, and digital
electronics. Information and communication technology is an important
element in the life of the nation. The role of information technology in
human activity at this time was so great. Information technology has become
the main facility for the activities of the various sectors of life which
contributed greatly to the change – a fundamental change in the operation
and management of organizational structure, education, transportation,
health and research. Therefore it is very important to increase the ability of
the human resources (HR) ICT, ranging from skills and knowledge, planning,
operation, maintenance and supervision, as well as increasing the ability of
ICT leaders in government, education, corporate, SME (small and medium
enterprises) and NGOs. So that in the end will produce output that is useful
to humans as individuals themselves and for all sectors of life.

1.2. Problem Formulation

1. What are the implications of IT and the internet?


2. How information and communication technology in education?
3. What is the impact in the field of education?
1.3. Objectives

The formulation of the problem that can be drawn from this discussion is:

1. Describe the implications of IT and the Internet


2. Describes how information and communication technologies in
education
3. Describe the impact in the field of education
 

CHAPTER II

DISCUSSION

2.1. Implications of IT and Internet Education

IT and Internet history can not be separated from education. Internet in the
United States began to grow from the academic environment (NSFNET), as
told in the book “Nerds 2.0.1”. Similarly, the Internet in Indonesia began to
grow within the academic (in the UI and ITB), although it appears the exciting
stories in the field of business. May need to be propagated stories about the
benefits of the Internet for education.
Library is one of expensive resources. (How many libraries in Indonesia, and
how the quality is?.) The Internet allows a person in Indonesia to access the
library in the United States. Mechanisms library access can be done by using
a special program (typically using Z39.50 standard, such WAIS5), telnet
application (such as the application hytelnet6) or via a web browser
(Netscape and Internet Explorer). There have been many stories about the
help the Internet in research, thesis. Exchange of information or the
frequently asked questions by experts can be done via the Internet. Without
the Internet many final project and thesis which may require more time to be
resolved. Cooperation between experts and also with students who are
physically far apart can be done more easily. Previously, a person had to
wander or run away to see a specialist to discuss a problem. Currently this
can be done from home by sending an email.

Papers and research can be done with the exchange of data over the
Internet, via email, or by using a mechanism Sharring file. Imagine if a
student in Irian can discuss medical issues with a experts at leading
universities in Java. students anywhere in Indonesia or lecturer can access
the best experts in Indonesia and even in the world. Geographic boundaries
is not an issue anymore. Sharring information is also needed in the field of
research that studies are not repeated (reinvent the wheel). The results of
research in universities and research institutes can be used together to
speed up the process of development of science and technology.

2.2. Communication Technology in Education

Of the many new discoveries that turned out very broad impact for a human
civilization in the various areas of life, one of which is education.
Development of technology and communication in the fields of education,
development of technology and communication in education, According to
Rosenberg (2001), with this development there are five shifts in the learning
process, namely: (1) from training to performance, (2) from the classroom to
the place where and at any time, (3) of the paper to “on line” or channel, (4)
physical facilities to network facilities, (5) from time to time  cycle shifts the
learning process changes from paper to “On -Line “to date has been its
presence can be felt or seen as an educational institution to implement a
computerized system. Many things as well as the benefits of its existence.

Such as education all activities are easily accessible via a computer network
or the internet that is certainly the case thanks to the satellite which is
operated, the student, student, teacher, lecturer or all citizens in the sphere
of education are able to obtain all the information to be obtained . most
recent example is the development of “Cyber Teaching” or virtual teaching,
the teaching process is carried out by using the internet.

Another term poluper today is e-learning is a model of learning by using


media communication technology (internet). According to Rosenberg (2001:
28), e-learning is the use of Internet technology in the delivery of learning in a
wide range with a foundation based on three criteria such as:

1. E-learning is networked with the ability to update, store,


distribute, and share materials or information,
2. Delivery up to the end users through a computer using standard
Internet technology,
3. Focusing on the most expansive view of learning behind
traditional learning paradigms. Nowadays e-learning has evolved
in a variety of ICT-based learning model as: CBT (Computer
Based Training), CBI (Computer Based Instruction), Distance
Learning, Distance Education, CLE (Cybernetic Learning
Environment), Desktop Videoconferencing and so on. (Quoted

option = t & task = view & id = 21 & Itemid = 26, Prof.. Dr.. H.
Mohamad Surya).
2.3. The impact on education

2.3.1. Positive Impact

1. Changing role of the teacher or lecturer (teacher) and the


student or students (learners) in learning. Changes in the role
include:
2. A position that was once as a transmitter of knowledge, the main
source of information, expert material, and the source of all
answers, and then only as a learning facilitator, coach,
collaborator, knowledge navigator, and learning partners.
3. Of controlling and directing all aspects of learning, be providing
more alternatives and responsibility to each student in the
learning process.
4. While the role of the student in learning has changed as follows:
5. From passive recipients of information to active participants in
the learning process
6. Of revealed knowledge back to produce a variety of knowledge
7. Of learning as a learning individual with other students.
8. Accelerate a job
9. Students are able to access information, anywhere, anytime, and
to anyone or
2.3.2. Negative Impact

1. Students become addicted to the virtual world of the existence of


the excess.
2. Criminal acts (Cyber Crime)
3. Lead to apathy on each individual, both for students and
teachers.
 

CHAPTER III

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION

3.1. Conclusion

Communication technologies in education is now experiencing extraordinary


change where the presence of sophisticated communication technology has
brought a lot of significant impact for the development of education itself.
Can be seen in the development of such a nature that the learning system of
e-learning, as well as other matters of a technical nature ie with the
computer, then the education offices provide convenience in data collection
and so forth.

Over it all, the development of communication technology itself remains


essentially carry a very wide range of effects, both positive and negative
impacts. When the positive impact a bigger role, it will be very beneficial in
life. Makes them a very easy job. Conversely, when the development of the
communication technology more display negative impact, it will appear new
problems such as cyber crime and so forth. For every user that has the
technology to be critical and skeptical attitude toward communication
technologies ..

3.2. Suggestion

Information technology is a technology that is very easy for us in terms i


including in education. The more the technology is getting more and more so
our work becomes easier to do. Besides its positive impact, technology has a
negative impact as well. Once we know the impact caused by the
development of information and communication technology in we should
take advantage of every available technology is good technology a maximum
and can also avoid the negative effects that can harm us.
