Olaide Alabi (PhD)
John Dewey described Education as not a preparation for
life, rather it is the living. It is a procedure in which a man lives over a
constant renewal of events around him. Education can be seen as any act or
experience that has formative effects on the mind, character or physical
ability of the individual. It could be defined as a purposive, conscious or
unconscious, psychological, sociological, scientific and philosophical process,
which fully brings about the development of the individual and the maximum
development of society in such a way that both enjoy maximum happiness and
prosperity (Teke and Shittu 2022).
No stage of human evolution requires unique experience,
each experience leads to the transformation of the mind and the expansion of
the brain. For the continuum's sake, each generation realised the importance of
passing the knowledge of evolution to the younger generation. Therefore,
Education is as old as human existence. After the existence of man on earth,
the issue of survival came up and for man to survive he must think. So, when
there is a challenge, one must think to find a way out. For knowledge to be
preserved and preserved well, the man came up with different techniques to
instil the right values in younger generations.
As education keeps on evolving daily, each generation
always seeks various ways to transform knowledge for the younger generation in
simple ways, especially for easy understanding. This brought about the
involvement of technology to make learning easy. Given this, there is a need to
trace the historical
background of educational technology from global and local perspectives. It is
divided into five stages of human development. These stages include:
·
Ancient
Times
·
Printing
Press 19th and Early 20th Century
·
Mid to
Late 20th Century
·
Digital
Revolution
·
Mobile
Technology and Social Media
From the ancient time stage, the history of
educational technology spanned through early educational tools including oral
storytelling, clay tablets, and abacuses used in ancient civilizations like
Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, and China.
To
explain this better each generation transferred knowledge through word of
mouth, some used images by pasting them on hard surfaces for instance the Egyptian hieroglyphs
combined logographic and alphabetic symbols on papyrus and wood. Herodotus
first wrote about the abacus in 480 BC. The ancient Egyptians also used it as a
counting mechanism and for trade. The earliest surviving abacus, the Salamis
Tablet, is from around 300 BC and was used by the Greeks. The
abacus we are most familiar with today is the Chinese Suan-pan, which was first documented in 190 A.D. a device that just about anyone
could count on.
The impact of this stage
is these tools facilitated the transmission of knowledge and skills across
generations. It facilitates collaboration
among learners and educators worldwide, though at each local end but could be
seen as a stepping stone that broke down geographical barriers. It prepared students
for a globalized future.
The second stage is the printing press stage which occurred in the 15th
Century. This happened with the invention brought about by Johannes Gutenberg. The invention of Gutenberg
revolutionised education and widespread knowledge as this brought out a level
of revolution in education by making books widely available, leading to
increased literacy and the spread of knowledge.
The real impact of this stage is,
that it enabled the dissemination of educational materials, the standardization
of texts, and the birth of formal education systems.
The
relevance of this stage is so germane that it has
become integral to education since its
creation. From making
it easier to access and spread information by mass-producing textbooks and
other scholarly works, to making diagrams and other visual materials available, the printing press has proved its
importance.
The medium remains the
avenue that brings solid insight into education and mass communication underlining
the significant impact of the media on the messages they deliver. The advent of
the printing press phenomenon powered a series of emerging trends in
educational technology.
The third stage occurred in the 19th and Early 20th Centuries, this was the age of Chalkboards and
Textbooks. These became standard tools in
classrooms, aiding in the visual presentation of information and structured
learning.
A chalkboard is a
hard or rigid surface made of a smooth usually dark substance, used for writing
or drawing on with chalk, especially in teaching. This means revolutionising education
by allowing teachers to present information to the whole class visually. It Enhanced teacher-student interactions and provided a uniform basis for
instruction.
a textbook was a name for "a book with
wide spaces between the lines. It can be referred to as a book giving instructions or
information. primer. manual.
handbook. text. With the
invention of textbooks, the art of printing spread widely, and
other books were produced. It brought about a wider spread of awareness and knowledge.
Educational Films and Radio
emerged in the early 20th century; this is a
documentary film which is a
nonfiction motion picture intended to provide recorded information on some
aspect of real life to people. It
covers almost any topic in different contexts of class subjects and other
societal values. Educational films are produced to teach about related topics,
and mostly, they try to maintain a neutral viewpoint. Television is
intended to educate its audience, especially students or any category of
learners. Many teachers use
educational television to encourage student discussion. One of the key benefits
of using film in education is its ability to cater to diverse learning styles.
Educational radio is concerned with the use of radio transmission as a channel for
educational purposes. It is a form
of broadcast that can provide educational content to listeners, remarkably
students and other categories of learners. This is the era that brought about the production
of educational films and radio programs into the
educational system. It allowed for audio-visual learning experiences and
reached broader audiences, including remote learners.
The immersive experience by educational films and radio allows students to
connect with the subject matter on a deeper level, making the learning process
more meaningful and memorable.
A good example of an educational
television program is the popular Sesame Streer. They Provided
engaging, educational content to children and adults, promoting literacy
and basic education.
Within this period is the
emergence of computers, computers began to be used in education in the
1960s and 70s, initially for administrative tasks and later for instructional
purposes. This led to the introduction of computers. This marked the beginning
of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) and the use of educational software.
Another trend in Educational
Technology emerged in the late 20th to Early 21st Century, this is the digital revolution
whereby the internet and e-learning became the order of the day. The advent of the internet revolutionized access to information and
learning resources. E-learning platforms emerged, providing online courses and
educational resources. It enabled distance learning, open educational resources
(OER), and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs).
The current trend is the Mobile
Technology and Social Media era whereby mobile devices and social media became integral to learning, offering
flexibility and interactive platforms for collaboration. It is Expanding access
to education, allowing for anytime, anywhere learning.

ReplyDeleteEducational technology has a long history dating back to ancient times. In ancient Greece, for example, the philosopher Socrates used dialogue and questioning as a method of teaching, which can be seen as an early form of educational technology. The use of writing and early forms of books also contributed to the development of educational technology in ancient civilizations, system of education involved a form of distance learning where students would live with a teacher (guru) for a period of time to learn various subjects. This can be considered an early form of personalized and individualized instruction.
The use of tools such as abacuses, slide rules, and other early forms of calculating devices can also be seen as early educational technologies that helped students learn mathematical concepts.

The adoption of computers and other aspects of digital technology has transformed how humans interact with their environment, and these changes continue to the day.
History of Digital Revolution in Brief
The invention of the Analytical Engine (the precursor to the modern-day computer) by Charles Babbage in the late 19th century and as well as that of the telegraph is believed to have accelerated the Digital Revolution.
Digital communication began to be viable for economic reasons when the personal computer was invented.
The Digital Revolution was all about the conversion of analog technology to that of the digital format. This would make it possible for copies of the original to be made. For example, repeatable hardware was able to amplify the digital signal and pass it on with no loss of information in the signal
The turning point of the revolution was the change from analogue to digitally recorded music. During the 1980s, the digital format of optical compact discs gradually replaced analog formats, such as vinyl records and cassette tapes, as the popular medium of choice.
and positive factors. They are detailed as follows:
Positive aspects:
Greater interconnectedness

ReplyDeleteAncient history is a time period from the beginning of writing and recorded human history through late antiquity. The span of recorded history is roughly 5,000 years, beginning with the development of Sumerian cuneiform script and continuing until the expansion of Islam in late antiquity. Ancient history covers all continents inhabited by humans in the period 3000 BC – AD 750. The three-age system periodizes ancient history into the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, and the Iron Age, with recorded history generally considered to begin with the Bronze Age. The start and end of the three ages vary between world regions. In many regions the Bronze Age is generally considered to begin a few centuries prior to 3000 BC, while the end of the Iron Age varies from the early first millennium BC in some regions to the late first millennium AD in others.
During the time period of ancient history, the world population was already exponentially increasing due to the Neolithic Revolution, which was in full progress. While in 10,000 BC, the world population stood at 2 million, it rose to 45 million by 3,000 BC. By the Iron Age in 1000 BC, the population had risen to 72 million. By the end of the ancient period in AD 500, the world population is thought to have stood at 209 million. In 10,500 years, the world population increased by 100 times.
Ancient times consists of great history and diverse civilizations, each with its own educational tools and methods. Here's a brief overview of educational tools used in various ancient cultures:
ReplyDelete1. **Mesopotamia (Sumerians, Babylonians, Assyrians)**:
- **Clay Tablets**: Used for writing cuneiform script, which recorded administrative, religious, and educational texts.
- **Cuneiform Writing Stylus**: A wedge-shaped tool used to imprint characters on clay tablets.
2. **Ancient Egypt**:
- **Papyrus Scrolls**: Made from papyrus plant fibers, used for writing religious texts, literature, and educational materials.
- **Reed Brushes**: Used for writing on papyrus scrolls with ink made from soot mixed with water and gum.
3. **Ancient Greece**:
- **Wax Tablets**: Wooden boards covered in wax, used for temporary notes and educational exercises. Writing was done with a stylus.
- **Papyrus and Parchment**: Used for more permanent writing, especially for literature, philosophy, and scientific texts.
4. **Ancient China**:
- **Bamboo Slips**: Thin strips of bamboo used for writing. Bound together with string to form books called "jing."
- **Brushes and Ink**: Used for calligraphy and writing on bamboo slips or silk.
5. **Ancient Rome**:
- **Papyrus and Parchment**: Similar to Greece, used for legal documents, literature, and educational texts.
- **Stylus and Wax Tablets**: Used for notes and practicing writing. Wax could be smoothed out for reuse.
6. **Medieval Europe**:
- **Parchment and Vellum**: Fine animal skins used for writing important documents and religious texts.
- **Quill Pens**: Made from bird feathers and ink, used for writing on parchment and vellum.
These tools were essential for imparting knowledge and preserving cultural heritage through written records. Education often focused on memorization, oral recitation, and practical skills relevant to the society and time period.

By the end of the ancient period in AD 500, the world population is thought to have stood at 209 million. In 10,500 years, the world population increased by 100 times.[2]
== Printing Press 19th and Early 20th Century
A significant innovation of the late 19th century was the offset press, in which the printing (blanket) cylinder runs continuously in one direction while paper is impressed against it by an impression cylinder. Offset printing is especially valuable for colour printing, because an offset press can print multiple colours in one run. Offset lithography—used for books, newspapers, magazines, business forms, and direct mail—At the early 20th century there were improvements like the speed of the operation. Among these changes were better paper feed, improvements in plates and paper, automatic paper reels, and photoelectric control of colour register.
==Mid to Late 20th Century
The First World War , termed "The Great War" by contemporaries, started in 1914 and ended in 1918. The war and by extension the century as a whole was ignited by the Assassination in Sarajevo of the Austro-Hungarian Empire's heir to the throne, Erzherzog Franz Ferdinand, by Gavrilo Princip of the organization "Young Bosnia," Bosnian Serbs' liberation movement. Soon after the events in Czechoslovakia, Britain and France issued assurances of protection to Poland, which seemed to be next on Hitler's list. World War II officially began on September 1, 1939, when Hitler unleashed his Blitzkrieg, or lightning war, against Poland. Britain and France, much to Hitler's surprise, immediately declared war upon Germany, but the help they delivered to Poland was negligible.[36] Sixteen days later, Poland was attacked from the East by Soviet Union, acting in a secret alliance with Nazi Germany.[37] After only a few weeks, the Polish forces were overwhelmed, and its government fled to exile in London
==Digital Revolution
The Digital Revolution is the shift from mechanical and analogue electronic technology to digital electronics, which began in the closing years of the 20th century.
The adoption of computers and other aspects of digital technology has transformed how humans interact with their environment, and these changes continue to the day.
==Mobile Technology and Social Media
Mobile technology is the technology used for cellular communication. Mobile technology has evolved rapidly over the past few years. Since the start of this millennium, a standard mobile device has gone from being no more than a simple two-way pager to being a mobile phone, GPS navigation device, an embedded web browser and instant messaging client, and a handheld gaming console. Many experts believe that the future of computer technology rests in mobile computing with wireless networking. Mobile computing by way of tablet computers is becoming more popular. Tablets are available on the 3G and 4G networks.
**Social media
Social media refers to the means of interactions among people in which they create, share, and/or exchange information and ideas in virtual communities and networks. The Office of Communications and Marketing manages the main Facebook, X/Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube accounts.
The evolution of education from ancient times to the present day reflects a dynamic journey of human development and societal needs. The inception of education can be traced back to the earliest days of human existence, where learning was driven by the necessity to overcome immediate challenges. This gave rise to traditional education systems, which were closely aligned with the needs and aspirations of individual societies. Over time, the concept of education expanded beyond practical skills to include philosophical thought during the Middle Ages, leading to the establishment of more formal educational structures. The paper by Teke, A. M., Bala, L., & Shitu, B. (2022) highlights the significant role of the Egyptian civilization in advancing education, which subsequently fueled the emergence of science and technology. Furthermore, the era of the Industrial Revolution in Europe brought about transformative changes, setting the stage for the modern education system. In the 20th and 21st centuries, education has continued to evolve, embracing online and blended learning to meet the demands of the fourth industrial revolution, characterized by rapid advancements in science and technology.

ReplyDeleteFrom the ancient time stage, the history of educational technology spanned through early educational tools including oral storytelling, clay tablets, and abacuses used in ancient civilizations like Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, and China.
To explain this better each generation transferred knowledge through word of mouth, some used images by pasting them on hard surfaces for instance the Egyptian hieroglyphs combined logographic and alphabetic symbols on papyrus and wood. Herodotus first wrote about the abacus in 480 BC. The ancient Egyptians also used it as a counting mechanism and for trade. The earliest surviving abacus, the Salamis Tablet, is from around 300 BC and was used by the Greeks. The abacus we are most familiar with today is the Chinese Suan-pan, which was first documented in 190 A.D. a device that just about anyone could count on.

ReplyDeleteprinting press, machine by which text and images are transferred from movable type to paper or other media by means of ink. Integral to Gutenberg’s design was replacing wood with metal and printing blocks with each letter, creating the European version of moveable type.
In order to make the type available in large quantities and to different stages of printing, Gutenberg applied the concept of replica casting, which saw letters created in reverse in brass and then replicas made from these molds by pouring molten lead.
Researchers have speculated that Gutenberg actually used a sand-casting system that uses carved sand to create the metal molds. The letters were fashioned to fit together uniformly to create level lines of letters and consistent columns on flat media.
Gutenberg’s process would not have worked as seamlessly as it did if he had not made his own ink, devised to affix to metal rather than wood. Gutenberg was also able to perfect a method for flattening printing paper for use by using a winepress, traditionally used to press grapes for wine and olives for oil, retrofitted into his printing press design.

Ancient Times: Education and Technology
In ancient times, education was primarily a manual, oral, and communal process. Formal educational institutions, as we know them today, were limited, and learning was often transmitted through spoken word, experience, and the use of early tools such as writing systems and simple instructional devices.
Here’s a breakdown of the key elements of education and technology in different ancient civilizations:
1. Oral Tradition and Learning
- Primary Mode of Education: In many ancient societies, education was conducted orally. Elders, scholars, or religious figures passed down knowledge to younger generations through storytelling, recitation, and direct teaching.
- Knowledge Transfer: This method relied heavily on memory and repetition. Students learned by listening and memorizing, especially in cultures with no written language.
- Cultural Contexts: In Africa, Asia, the Americas, and many ancient tribal communities, education was an immersive, community-centered process. Stories, myths, proverbs, and songs were key to teaching history, moral values, and cultural practices.
2. Early Writing Systems
- Mesopotamia (Cuneiform): One of the earliest known writing systems, developed by the Sumerians around 3000 BCE, involved pressing symbols into clay tablets with a stylus. These tablets were used to record agricultural data, laws, and eventually literature, such as the Epic of Gilgamesh.
- Egypt (Hieroglyphs): In ancient Egypt, writing (around 3100 BCE) was inscribed on papyrus scrolls or stone monuments. The Egyptians used hieroglyphs to record religious texts, historical events, and administrative data.
- China (Oracle Bones and Bamboo Strips): Ancient Chinese societies used oracle bones (inscribed animal bones) and later bamboo strips to record divinations, history, and administrative records.
- India (Palm Leaf Manuscripts): In ancient India, religious and philosophical texts such as the Vedas were initially passed down orally but were later written on palm leaves. The Brahmi script, one of the earliest known writing systems, dates to around 300 BCE.
- Ancient Greece and Rome: In Greece, papyrus scrolls and later wax tabletswere used for recording teachings, legal matters, and philosophical writings. Greek philosophers like Socrates favored oral teaching methods, while his student Plato used writing to record dialogues.
These writing systems played a key role in preserving and transmitting knowledge, allowing societies to develop education in a more structured manner.
3. Educational Systems and Institutions
- Egypt: Education in ancient Egypt was primarily for the elite, such as scribes, who learned reading, writing, and mathematics in schools associated with temples. Temples were centers of learning, focusing on religious instruction and administration.
- Ancient Greece : The Greeks developed a more formalized system of education. Schools of thought, like Plato’s Academy and Aristotle’s Lyceum, were early forms of organized education. The Greeks emphasized subjects like philosophy, rhetoric, mathematics, and the arts.
- Ancient China: Education in China was closely linked to Confucian teachings. The ruling elite, particularly during the Han Dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE), were educated in subjects like philosophy, poetry, and governance, and formal examinations for public service (civil service exams) were established.
- India: In ancient India, learning was centered around gurukuls (teacher's homes), where students lived and studied under the guidance of a guru. Subjects included philosophy, medicine, literature, and spiritual teachings, primarily based on Vedic texts..
