Abstract
<p>This paper examined the role of technology in enhancing teaching and learning in Cambodian higher institutions and its implication for stakeholders. Evaluation of ICT models, emerging technologies and the learning theories related to technology were systematically reviewed. An overview of teaching and learning before the digital age with a particular reference to history of education and technology in Cambodia was examined while historical theories of educational technology such as constructivism, complexity theory, the pedagogy of nearness, heutagogy, and connectivism were highlighted. Furthermore, emerging technology integration models such as SAMR, TPACK, UDL models were examined including the multiple roles of the learner, educator and the audience in a connected age.Several strategies in which technological tools that can be used to enhance students’ learning were provided. Part of the Implication of the study includes adequate provision of power supply, computer laboratories and internet connectivity in Cambodian higher institutions should be paramount to government, private firms, philanthropists and NGOs so that students can appreciate technology and learn fast. Aside that, adequate fund should be given to the institutions to procure other necessary technology gadgets that can be used to promote learning.</p><p> </p><strong>Keywords: </strong>ICT Models, Teaching and Learning, Higher Institutions, Stakeholders, Cambodia
Highlights
The human society and educational systems worldwide are going through transformations and major shifts due to political, economical, demographical and technological changes (Munte, 2017; Van den Daele, 2017)
Due to the limitation of virtual learning services, virtually all Cambodian higher institutions run a conventional system of education (Richardson, 2008; Sumethea, 2017). It is in view of the foregoing that the current study examined how technology can be used to enhance teaching and learning in Cambodian higher institutions
Siemens (2005) suggests that learning as a process can exist outside of the individual- “in the databases, devices and tools within which a learner acts and lives”(Kerr, 2007; Veletsianos, 2010).On the other hand, connectivism seems to have a problem with relation to formal, traditional education, components like the lack of a role for an educator, primarily focus on the learner and small classrooms would provide a small context for building meaningful connections (Kop & Hill, 2008).The brief overview of learning theories provided us with the basis for an analysis where old and emerging technologies gave a shared understanding of value and affordances that the Net offers for its users
