Governments have spent millions of dollars on ICT infrastructure and providing teachers with various kinds of training, trying to equip them with the necessary skills to accomplish such goals as fostering students' "lifelong learning and all-round development" (EC, 2000, p. 3). Consequently, teachers should adjust their teaching approaches in order to meet such aspirations. This research attempted to scrutinize how such changes affect teachers' teaching strategies; to examine whether their ICT knowledge and the use of, such technical know-how, have a positive impact on teaching and learning. In answering this it is important to look into the utilization of ICT resources to see whether they have been managed in a way that enhances students' learning in a sophisticated world; as well as how teachers feel facing the challenge of ICT integration. The findings of this research were summarized in order to devise suggestions for future planning and professional development considerations for schools. This research used a case study approach collecting data through interviewing two Subject Leaders and five Chinese Language teachers at a school in Hong Kong. The data was triangulated using mini-survey and lesson observations. It was found that teachers regarded the current way of providing school-based technical training as a successful one, however they often used presentation slides as well as word processing software to prepare and present their lessons. They seldom used e-communication or designed websites of their own to extent teaching beyond classrooms. It was clearly evident in this study that although the teachers had received ICT training, they still used traditional approaches in conducting their lessons. Nonetheless, the results showed that the teachers of this study would like to further develop their capability through training and sharing. They also believed that the introduction of ICT infrastructure could help them in sharing their resources and promote team work. Indeed, this is one of the major findings and subsequent recommendations that the researcher has put forward as a result of this study, in order to enhance future professional development of teachers in Hong Kong schools. Other considerations include planning the professional developmental programmes in order to suit the needs of the school and soliciting the help of outside forces, such as an IT company and tertiary institutions are helpful as well. Moreover, schools should try to encourage a shared vision developed by the school team to ensure that teachers understand the essence of educational changes and pedagogical uses of ICT resources in their school. While this study focused on the impact of ICT on teaching strategies and professional development, there were other important areas found important, for example, the role of administrators and school culture. - ii - DOI: 10.5353/th_b2946978 Subjects: Computer-assisted instruction High school teaching - China - Hong Kong High school teachers - China - Hong Kong - Attitudes

Book excerpt: Integration of Information and Communication in the classroom has been transforming the way learners are learning today. Teachers in India are also experimenting with innovative ways to teach with the help of ICT tools. They are leveraging various digital platforms for planning their lessons, delivering them in the classroom setup or virtually, and conducting the assessment as well. Educational technology is offering effective ways to reach different types of learners and assess their understanding in more than one way. Teachers' well-equipped preparation with ICT tools and facilities is one of the main factors in the success of technology-based teaching and learning. The Indian government has been persistent in implementing policies to encourage technology-driven innovations in the education sector and encouraging educators to adopt and integrate ICT. Although the perception of Indian teachers towards the use of ICT is positive, still need more support with the infrastructure and training especially in the rural regions. This paper will cover how technology has impacted the teaching practices, perceptions of teachers about the use of technology in the classroom, and their professional development.

Download or read book The Impact of Innovative Ict Education and AI on the Pedagogical Paradigm written by Boris Aberšek and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-06 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To be a good teacher, one must acquire a large set of different kinds of interdisciplinary knowledge. Education for teachers and trainers consists, in part, of learning the language of education and the appropriate associated skills. A deeper understanding of judgments and choices also requires a richer vocabulary than is available in everyday language. On a systemic level, the education system needs to consider the individual as the basic building block of society, and further take into consideration the individuals consciousness related to their emotional intelligence. Because a persons consciousness is something entirely singular and inherent to the individual, some kind of generalization will have to be constructed, which will contribute enough in terms of novelty and progress, to make it innovative enough for the purposes of teaching and learning. This volume will serve to provoke cognitive dissonance and intellectual unease, as it explores cognitive theories and inspires researchers and teachers to update and invigorate some of the theories that have been embedded in their minds since their own school years. In order for this to happen, the book provides readers with many valuable insights and introduces new experiences resulting from alternative teaching practices.

Download or read book ICT in Education and Implications for the Belt and Road Initiative written by Chee-Kit Looi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-21 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With increasing global challenges, the Belt and Road initiative seems to offer one possible platform to think about different possibilities and pathways to promote international collaboration and development covering Asia, Europe, Africa, and other countries. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education, as a key focus, provides valuable perspectives for governments, inter-governmental and non-governmental agencies wanting to innovate and advance both ICT and education independently and collaboratively. This book highlights the burgeoning of ICT in education in eleven countries, with particular emphasis placed on the context of the Belt and Road Initiative. ICT has increasingly important roles in education including improve teaching and learning qualities, as well as equity in education. The prominent contributors describe the state-of-the-art of ICT in education in eleven countries based on six major themes (policy perspectives, infrastructure, educational resources, ICT integration into practices, students’ ICT competence, and teachers’ professional development). We hope the in-depth discussions included in this book would provoke more academic and policy insights globally.

This book was released on 2008-09-08 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is information and communication technology (ICT) changing teaching and learning practices in secondary schools worldwide in the 21st century? This is the central question addressed by researchers involved in the series of surveys comprising the Second Information Technology in EducationStudy (SITES ). The question is a multifaceted one, with each facet raising additionalq uestions relating to both theory and practice. These include the following: • What traditional and new pedagogiesare evident in the 21st century? • What is the role of ICT in the teaching and learning process? • What ICT infrastructure is available in schools? • How can teachers and their administrators be prepared for effective practice? • How have these conditions and considerations changed since the first SITES survey in 1998? • What are the trends within and between national education systems? • What do the differences and similarities between these systems suggest? • How shouldchange be promoted in education in order to support teachers in their work? • Is there evidence that key strategic factors commonly found in ICT related educational policies do influence teachers’ pedagogical use of ICT? Because these questions are interconnected, the SITES 2006 researchers recognized that if we are to make sense of changes in pedagogical practicesas a result of IC T use, then we need to view those practices in terms of the interacting layers in the 22 education systems surveyed.

Download or read book How People Learn written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-08-11 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First released in the Spring of 1999, How People Learn has been expanded to show how the theories and insights from the original book can translate into actions and practice, now making a real connection between classroom activities and learning behavior. This edition includes far-reaching suggestions for research that could increase the impact that classroom teaching has on actual learning. Like the original edition, this book offers exciting new research about the mind and the brain that provides answers to a number of compelling questions. When do infants begin to learn? How do experts learn and how is this different from non-experts? What can teachers and schools do-with curricula, classroom settings, and teaching methodsâ€"to help children learn most effectively? New evidence from many branches of science has significantly added to our understanding of what it means to know, from the neural processes that occur during learning to the influence of culture on what people see and absorb. How People Learn examines these findings and their implications for what we teach, how we teach it, and how we assess what our children learn. The book uses exemplary teaching to illustrate how approaches based on what we now know result in in-depth learning. This new knowledge calls into question concepts and practices firmly entrenched in our current education system. Topics include: How learning actually changes the physical structure of the brain. How existing knowledge affects what people notice and how they learn. What the thought processes of experts tell us about how to teach. The amazing learning potential of infants. The relationship of classroom learning and everyday settings of community and workplace. Learning needs and opportunities for teachers. A realistic look at the role of technology in education.

Download or read book Research Anthology on Facilitating New Educational Practices Through Communities of Learning written by Management Association, Information Resources and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2020-10-30 with total page 843 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the future of education being disrupted and the onset of day-to-day uncertainties and challenges that have to be solved quickly, teachers are now turning to professional development communities/support communities where they can share and learn about effective practices to use in the classroom. While transitioning to blended or online learning and keeping up with the technological advances in education, these communities provide an essential backbone for teachers to rely on for support and updated knowledge on what educational practices are being utilized, how they are working, and what solutions have been found for the ever-changing climate of education. Research on the benefits and use of these communities, as well as on the latest educational practices, is essential in teacher development and student learning in the current culture of a rapidly changing educational environment. The Research Anthology on Facilitating New Educational Practices Through Communities of Learning contains hand-selected, previously published research that provides information on the communities of learning that teachers are currently involved in to seek the latest educational practices. The chapters cover the context of these communities, the benefits, and an overview of how this support is a necessary tool in today’s practices of teaching and learning. While highlighting topics such as learning communities, teacher development, mentoring, and virtual communities, this book is essential for inservice and preservice teachers, administrators, teacher educators, practitioners, stakeholders, researchers, academicians, and students who are interested in how communities of practice tie into professional development, teacher learning, and the online shift in teaching.
