Synopsis
The evolution of technology usage in science education, moving from simple tools to advanced applications, forms the focus of this study. An analysis of the positive impacts and challenges faced with current technology in science teaching is conducted. Innovations like virtual learning environments, robotic tools, 3D printing, and AI provide a rich array of options to enhance instruction. Despite the numerous benefits, significant obstacles persist, including the rapid pace of tech advances, unequal access, potential over-reliance on these tools, and privacy and security concerns. The effective use of these technologies necessitates considerable financial and infrastructural support, along with comprehensive teacher training. The research concludes by emphasizing a balanced and critical approach to technology integration, where traditional teaching isn't overshadowed. Future research must focus on equitable tech accessibility, data protection, and adaptability to continuous technological progression for a comprehensive, high-efficiency learning experience.
