Dewey’s Conception of Incorporating Technology into Curriculum

Research output: Contribution to book or proceedingChapter

Abstract

The main focus of this paper is to explain the use of technology in curriculum based on Deweyan's perspectives. Dewey's conception of learning through experience, written in the late 19th century, proactively prepared a framework for integrating twenty-first-century technology into curriculum. Recent technology enables multimedia instruction that can provide diverse learning experiences, stimulating students' five senses. Multimedia offers real experience, which is Dewey's primary concern for learning. In addition, multimedia brings out internal motivation with its features to raise the intrinsic motivational level of a lesson. In instruction, multimedia is capable of infusing interaction, which is a fundamental principal of experience. Dewey's conception of tools clarifies how to use the Internet, which could become meaningful after the proper input of human labor in the learning context.
