Abstract:

“In the last 15 years, the US and India have witnessed increasing bilateral cooperation on broad and multi-sectoral matters especially in the field of education and technology. This has led to enormous policy borrowing and practice sharing in educational technology from the US. Acknowledging the contemporary strategic ties between the countries, this paper compares the historic evolution of educational technology as pedagogic transformation within the K-12 classrooms to identify the critical factors contributing to the contemporary educational technology scenario in the respective countries. The TPACK framework of educational pedagogy is used to analyze and determine the evolutionary journeys of pedagogic transformation during the Digital Phases: the personal computer and the internet. While comparing the two countries, it is found that independent socio-cultural and political factors have influenced the specific trajectory. Thereby, making the scientific investigation of the ‘contextual forces’ affecting the pedagogic transformation of educational technology within both the home (the US) and the target (India) key to policy-makers.”
