Using Multimedia Technologies as a Current Trends on Social Sciences Education
Abstract
Last decade’s mere technology that includes only writing, speaking skills and static graphics were used but this technique is simple and inadequate for social sciences and its education. However, multimedia technologies include high, advanced and sophisticated technology. Such technologies are used a lot of field in social sciences education. These are showing up in every walk of education and every aspect of community; architecture, business, education as social sciences. Now multimedia technologies which are including video, audio, animation, interactive map, graphic, table, and GIS, RS technologies are used for social sciences education. These new techniques, which are based commonly on computer, provide good education and better learning. Proponents of multimedia and modern techniques show that they can change the way we understand, think, learn, and work; they have heralded it brings the end of printed books and static graphics. Advocates of modern methodology and tools, both in their research and educational applications, see them better than mere technology. Modern and last systems are garnering to increase attention in cartography, history and geography, although there is a paucity of literature on the prospects of multimedia as a research or educational method in history, and geography. They are used a lot of sample area which occurs our study subject. Some of them allow us to view, understand, question, interpret, and visualize data in many ways that reveal relationships, patterns, and trends in the form of maps, globes, reports, and charts. They help people answer questions and solve problems by looking at people’s data in a way that is quickly understood and easily shared. This presentation describes an educational application of multimedia and modern tools for geography and history education as social sciences based on the assumption that multimedia and high and advanced technology are better than mere skill. As a result, the aim of this study is presenting some multimedia technology based on examples and applications in social sciences.
