Educational Technology For B.A. 5th Semester Gauhati University By Dr. Sunita Agarwalla UBP

Educational Technology by Dr. Sunita Agarwalla serves as a comprehensive textbook designed to meet the syllabus objectives of the B.A. 5th semester Education course under Gauhati University. Structured into five thematic units, the book begins with an overview of educational technology—covering its meaning, scope, and the hardware, software, and systems approaches. It thoughtfully integrates psychological frameworks like Edgar Dale’s Cone of Experience, enhancing students’ understanding of pedagogical theory and practical application.

The second unit addresses communication in teaching-learning, explaining types of communication, classroom dynamics, barriers, and the integration of ICT, including tools such as EDUSAT and e-learning resources. In unit three, it delves into various teaching methods—lecture, activity, discussion—and techniques like narration, illustration, and questioning.

Unit four explores teaching strategies and behaviors, distinguishing authoritarian, democratic, and laissez-faire styles, and delineating pre‑active, interactive, and post‑active phases of teaching. The final unit covers lesson planning and micro‑teaching, discussing the Herbartian steps of lesson planning, types of lessons, and the fundamentals of micro‑teaching.

With clear learning outcomes, real‑world examples, and alignment with the university’s curriculum, Dr. Agarwalla’s book is an essential resource for students aspiring to become skilled, reflective educators.
