Definition of Educational Technology and Learning

Educational technology can be seen as a product and process (Sadiman, 1993). As a product, educational technology is easy to understood because it is more concrete such as radio, television, projector, and so on. As a process, technology education is abstract. The educational technology can be understood as a complex and integrated process involving people, procedures, ideas, devices, and organization for analyzing problems, finding ways to overcome the problems, implement, assess, and manage the problem solving that concerning all aspects of human learning (AECT,1977). In line with this, the educational technology was born out of the real problems in education.

Educational issues that stuck out today, include the equal opportunity to education, quality improvement or quality, relevance, and efficiency of education. Serious problems which are still being felt by education ranging from primary education to higher education is a matter quality, of course this can be solved through educational technology approach.

There are three basic principles in educational technology as a reference in the development and utilization, the systems approach, student-oriented, and use the learning resources (Sadiman, 1984). The principle of system approach means that the provision of education and of teaching need to be designed or designed using a systems approach. In designing learning procedural steps required me Covered: problem identification, analysis of the situation, identification of objectives, learning management, determination methods, the determination of the media, and evaluation of the learner's (IDI models, 1989). Principles of learner-centered learning means that the focus should be on learners taking into account the characteristics, interests, potentials of the students. Principle use of learning resources means in learning, students should be able to make use of learning resources to access the knowledge and skills they need. One more thing that technology education is a field that emphasizes the aspects of student learning .

Technology in learning is defined as a mechanism to to distribute messages, including postal systems, radio and television broadcasting, telephone, satellite and computer networks. At these training materials, in terms of technology - based on this definition. You might ask, then, what was called the media ? Understanding media in the training material is taken from CISAER(2003). CISAER defined in the media as the message distributed learning through technology, especially text in printed materials and in computer networks, noise in the audio - tape and radio broadcasts, as well as text, sound and / or images on a teleconference.

The use of technology in learning leads to the use of the Internet or computer network. Petherbridge and Chapmen (2007) reported that Internet technologies are used in teaching grew from 4,000 semester credit units in 2000 to more than 19,000 units of semester credit in 2005. While the use of other technologies in learning, such as broadcast TV and radio, DVD, video, relatively fixed every year. This happens because internet technology is able to deliver messages multimedia, whether text, sound, still images, and moving images. In addition, Internet technology allows direct messaging (synchronous) such as a TV or radio broadcast or indirectly messaging (asynchronous) such as videos, tapes, and books. With the flexibility of internet technology owned, not surprising that the development of the use of technology in learning leads to the use of the internet. In general, what is meant by information and communication technology in learning for learning is the use internet. Therefore, in this exposure will be much discussed regarding the use of the Internet for learning.

The success of learning is done in an educational activity is how students can learn how to identify, develop, organize, and use all sorts of learning resources. Efforts to solve problems in educational technology approach is to utilize learning resources. This is in accordance with the terms of the alteration is characterized by educational technology into learning technology. In the definition of instructional technology stated that educational technology is the theory and practice in the design, development, utilization, management, and evaluation of the sources and processes for learning(Barbara,1994) .

Technology has changed the face in learning a different lesson with traditional learning process characterized by face-to-face interaction between teachers and students both in the classroom and outside the classroom so that technology in learning is defined as a medium for distributing messages, including postal systems, radio broadcasts, television, telephone, satellite and computer networks.

Thus the technology that is directly relevant to the meaning of learning is customized to the learning it self. Ase Su - herlan (2000 : 48 ) argues that learning technology is essentially a transactional communications that are reciprocal, both among teachers and students and students and students with a learning environment to support the achievement of learning objectives. Learning the meaning of the above are core meaning that learning should be an element of communication and information .
