Book The Impact of ICT Integration on Students    Academic Performance in Business Subjects  A Case Study of Secondary Schools in Lagos  Nigeria

Download or read book The Impact of ICT Integration on Students Academic Performance in Business Subjects A Case Study of Secondary Schools in Lagos Nigeria written by Olufemi Adebayo and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2023-02-07 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Pedagogy - Media Pedagogy, , language: English, abstract: The purpose of this study is to ascertain the impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) integration on students’ academic performance in Nigerian Secondary Schools. As a guide to the study, answers will be sought to the following questions: What is the level of availability and usage of ICT facilities in secondary schools in Lagos State? What is attitude of respondents towards ICT application effect on academic performance? What is the relationship between the usage of ICT and academic performance? What are the constraints to the effective usage of ICT? Change is expected in the pattern of teaching and learning process from the conventional method to a more dynamic and flexible one, presumed learner-centered. The learner-centred approach empowers students; they are in control of their activities, materials and pace of learning, which places them in the centre of the learning process and enhances independent learning. However, despite the glaring relevance of ICT in education, coupled with the huge capital investment of both Federal and State governments through ICT driven project known as “schoolNET” and donations from Non-Governmental Organizations to Secondary schools in Nigeria, some teachers are still reluctant, ineffective and unproductive in using ICT facilities to improve students’ academic performance, especially in Business subjects. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have become inseparable entities in all aspects of human life. The use of ICT has fundamentally changed the practices and procedures of nearly all forms of endeavour within business, governance and civil service. In education, ICT has begun to have a presence but the impact has not been as extensive as in other fields of endeavour. The moving of the world to digital media and information has made the role of ICT in education to become more important and this importance will continue to grow and develop in the 21st century. Information and communication technology (ICT) is an indispensable part of the contemporary world. In fact, culture and society have to be adjusted to meet the challenges of the knowledge age. Undoubtedly ICT has impacted on the quality and quantity of teaching, learning and research in tertiary educational institutions in Nigeria.

Book Activity Analysis of Information and Communication Technology Integration in Botswana Senior Secondary Schools

Download or read book Activity Analysis of Information and Communication Technology Integration in Botswana Senior Secondary Schools written by Topoyame Susan Maselesele and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have impacted all facets of our lives. Governments around the world have invested in ICTs to improve teaching and learning in schools. Despite these investments on ICT infrastructure, equipment and software to improve education in many countries, ICT adoption and integration in teaching and learning have been limited. This dissertation explores what and how ICTs are integrated in Botswana senior secondary school teaching and learning activities. This research investigates, analyses, and interprets data to delineate the factors that prevent teachers' use of ICTs in teaching and learning processes. The research study reviews factors that encourage teachers' use of ICTs in teaching and learning processes and also teacher-level, school-level and system-level factors that prevent teachers from integrating ICTs in teaching and learning processes are also reviewed. Activity Theory is used as an underpinning theory for this study, mainly because it is an interpretive research approach that presents a framework within which to analyse the actions of people as they socially interact with each other in an effort to achieve a desired outcome. In this study, the desired outcome is the optimal use of ICTs to enhance teaching and learning activities.

Book Teaching and Learning at a Distance

Download or read book Teaching and Learning at a Distance written by Michael Simonson and published by IAP. This book was released on 2024-01-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teaching and Learning at a Distance is written for introductory distance education courses for preservice or in-service teachers, and for training programs that discuss teaching distant learners or managing distance education systems. This text provides readers with the basic information needed to be knowledgeable distance educators and leaders of distance education programs. The teacher or trainer who uses this book will be able to design courses, evaluate programs, and identify issues and trends affecting the field. In this text we take the following themes: The first theme is the definition of distance education. Before we started writing the first edition of Teaching and Learning at a Distance we carefully reviewed the literature to determine the definition that would be at the foundation of our writing. This definition is based on the work of Desmond Keegan, but is unique to this book and has been adopted by the Association for Educational Communications and Technology and by the Encyclopedia Britannica. The second theme of the book is the importance of research to the development of effective courses and programs offered at a distance. The best practices presented in Teaching and Learning at a Distance are validated by scientific evidence. Certainly there are “rules of thumb,” but we have always attempted to only include recommendations that can be supported by research. The third theme of Teaching and Learning at a Distance is derived from Richard Clark’s famous quote published in the Review of Educational Research asserting that media are mere vehicles that do not directly influence achievement. Clark’s controversial work is discussed in the book, but is also fundamental to the book’s advocacy for distance education—in other words, we authors do not make the claim that education delivered at a distance is inherently better than other ways people learn. Distance delivered instruction is not a magical approach that makes learners achieve more. Equivalency theory is the fourth theme of the book. Here we present the concept that instruction should be provided to learners that is equivalent rather than identical to what might be delivered in a traditional environment. Equivalency theory helps the instructional designer approach the development of instruction for each learner without attempting to duplicate what happens in a face-to-face classroom. The final theme for Teaching and Learning at a Distance is the idea that the book should be comprehensive—that it should cover as much of the various ways instruction is made available to distant learners as is possible. It can serve as a stand-alone source of information.

Book An Exploration of Selected Windhoek Secondary School Teachers Information Communication and Technology Classroom Integration

Download or read book An Exploration of Selected Windhoek Secondary School Teachers Information Communication and Technology Classroom Integration written by Ndatalomwene N. Nghaamua and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Namibian ICT in Education Policy and the TECH/NA! Implementation Plan have been in existence since 2006. Many studies have followed up on technology integration in various subjects at schools across the country since then. This study is focused on measuring the levels of integration in the Khomas Region and looks at the return of investment from the implementation of the Policy. This study explores the challenges still existing for teachers integrating technology into classroom practice and the strategies that are being employed. Theoretical frameworks supporting this study is Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the four levels of Kotrlik Pierson's model of technology integration (KPMTI). The theoretical framework focuses on the actual ICT classroom integration, perceived importance of ICT integration, teachers’ confidence, and challenges in ICT integration. This exploratory case study research design uses a semi-structured interview protocol. Due to the COVID19 pandemic and interruption in education, the researcher was unable to carry out class observation that was originally planned. This study is dependent entirely on the self-efficacy of teachers reporting of their practice. The results indicate that, despite a few innovative strategies of ICT integration, the majority of ICT integration initiatives in the classroom are still not optimised to a desirable redefinition or transformational level according to SAMR ICT integration level. Attitudinal issues, lack of support, affordability and lack of skills were identified as constraints that affect effective implementation of ICT. The Ministry of Education, Arts and Culture appears to place more financial focus on the training of staff, including the principals. Furthermore, results show the need for making stakeholders aware of the need to refocus on re-implementing ICT integration efforts, encourage teachers to take their own initiative to develop skills in ICT integration and improve access to ICT resources
