The impact of technology on education

We cannot determine the process of interaction between technology and education, as their cohesion is too great to be analyzed with mere data. Education is the basis of our impact today and tomorrow, and the search has always been ongoing for methods to develop education and its complete system, and in return, technological development so that both parties cohere at some stage.


Education depends on a large part of technology, but now we are witnessing the peak of development, especially after the Corona pandemic, which highlighted the role of technology in the integrity of science, despite the isolation that was imposed between societies and individuals among themselves, which caused educational institutions to close and close their doors to reduce the chances of its spread, which caused concern and anger. However, the inevitable fate was saved by technology, so the matter turned to e-learning as a long-talked-about alternative, and the matter began in 1999, although the matter was not the result of the moment. It was like every matter in our lives, which began to develop in simple steps until it occupied a large part in our lives. It began with just a computer. To display some information in more illustrative ways to them, such as the diversity of methods used, displaying pictures, and some explanatory video clips. With development and the emergence of the Internet, the matter changed and began to spread and develop with the Internet revolution. Despite this, it faced many challenges and difficulties, and we can say that until now the truth of this has not become clear. The situation is complete so far.

There is a clear impact of technology use for students and teachers

Equally, it gives the students a space of freedom to choose the appropriate major for them, in addition to choosing the courses and the course teacher as well. This helps in developing positive thinking among the students, and at the same time for teachers, it achieves a degree of effectiveness in providing more information and knowledge in its various forms and ease of dissemination and sharing. More information around the world

But let us list the benefits of integrating technology with education in more detail:

1- Increasing the effectiveness of education:

Most studies confirm that the use of computers and Internet networks helps to increase the effectiveness of learning by positively influencing the increase in the efficiency of education. This includes increasing the ability to communicate, sharing knowledge and information, and improving the learning environment. It encourages students to cooperate together and transfer information smoothly, as well as easy access to Student files to know the success and shortcomings of students.

2- Reducing education costs:

The most beneficial thing to achieve part of the justice of the expansion of education and the process of reaching many students around the world. It is obvious to know the extent of the cost between education using technology and traditional education. The matter is simple. It requires a teacher, a student, an Internet network, and a computer, and from it you can calculate the difference in the successful conduct of the educational process at the lowest cost. It is possible and this helps in all the positive effects in the learning process. We will also see more positive effects that will result from the integration of education with technology.

3- Achieving equality and justice among students and reaching disadvantaged groups:

Perhaps it is one of the best things that technology has created from a human standpoint, as it reduces the clarity of physical differences on the one hand for students, and on the other hand, it suits their different needs at their various levels in proportion to the ability of each student, and even makes them feel the effectiveness of education without the material difference appearing between them, which may cause some psychological harm. I have some students and it also affects their educational system, but the matter is to create a central focus among the students on the importance of education only. On the other hand, there is the weakest party in the education circle and the one most exposed to injustice, which are the disadvantaged groups, that is, some students in remote areas or places where there are no schools, and there is also Students with determination and special needs are the disadvantaged group that sometimes finds it difficult to go to study in the designated educational places for any reason, and thus the matter has become the key to survival for this group in particular.

4- Promoting the idea of self-learning and research among students:

Self-education is education through self-research sources for students or workers, such as listening to videos on various websites, as well as those available on the YouTube platform, or subscribing to free online course sites, or written educational documents, or exercises, instructions, presentations, online seminars, and other endless methods. The Internet provides security for students in terms of not losing information or in the event of a student’s absence in traditional education for any emergency. We can say that it is the student’s guarantee that no information will be lost or lost, as well as the ease of searching for it whenever the student wants and following the teacher’s instructions without the need for any direct contact process. Or complicated.

5- Providing educational experiences and opportunities for students

Technology and education, in cooperation, both created endless job opportunities and experiences. It went beyond the fact that it would qualify them for the labor market, but it created a complete educational labor market. It transformed the student or learner into a seeker of information, then applied the information and actually implemented it.

We can now count many of the positives that have emerged as a result of the impact of technology on education, whether for students or learners, but this is not the only thing that is involved. Like everything in our lives, the dark side or the other side exists, and here, unfortunately, it exists, of course, but it has not revealed its full identity, but in the case of... Lack of caution and taking into account the data can counteract the harm that may result from the cohesion of technology with education. Here we will explain some of the negative effects that have emerged as a result of this cohesion.

negative effects:

- Poor writing abilities: As a result of the extensive use of online chatting and the use of abbreviations, the writing abilities of young people have witnessed a significant deterioration.

- Increased cheating: Technological advances, such as calculators, high-tech watches, small cameras, and similar equipment, have become excellent tools for cheating.
