1. USE of ICT for EFFECTIVE teaching and learning

2. Technological innovation
Technological innovation is essential for human development. From the printing press to the computer, people have devised tools for facilitating learning and communication. Technology is not inherently good or bad, the outcome depends on how it is used.

3. Information and communications technology
Information and communications technology (ICT) involves innovations in micro electronics, computing (hardware and software), telecommunications and opto-electronics micro-processors, semiconductors, fiber optics.
These innovations enable the processing and storage of enormous amounts of information, along with rapid distribution of information through communication networks.

4. The role of ICT
It is accepted that telecommunication is a basic infrastructure necessary for economic and social development of a country.
This is even becoming more strong than ever as information related economic activities are growing.
Information and communications technology may be described as the support of the central nervous system of complex societies, transmitting and processing information and commands among the various parts of such societies.
Internet plays a fundamental function in ICT role

5. Benefits from ICT And specifically in Science and Technology:
Information and communications technology carries on high promise both in human and economic terms.
Benefits could be obtained in:
Education
Job training
Health care
Food security
Environment management
Government efficiency
And specifically in Science and Technology:
Speed up dissemination of scientific results world-wide through scientific knowledge sharing and exchange
Allows to set up of Virtual Labs for communications and remote instrument control

6. Rapid evolution of ICT
Predictions indicate the doubling of computing power every 18 – 24 months and the doubling of communications power every 6 months. Both are accompanied by huge reductions in costs and massive increases in speed and quantity.
In 2010 more information can be sent over a single cable in a second than in 2000 was sent over the entire Internet in a month.

7. The digital divide
The distribution of Internet users show uneven distribution in India
Connecting a major portion of the population is a challenge in so many regions .
Limitations are the outdated public telephone network and the arbitrary high cost of the services.
To beat this problem, solutions based on the most advanced techniques but with accessible costs have to be devised. Radio technology represents in many cases the solution.

8. Hope for the future

9. The Role of ICT in Education!

14. What are we expected to do with ICT in the curriculum?
Use ICT to support and enhance
learning
teaching
in all subject areas
(where appropriate)

15. Why?
There is now clear evidence that ICT, when used well, improves attainment in all subjects.

16. Different uses of ICT
Delivering content
Tool for thinking and making

17. 5 Stages of Embedding ICT
Evolution
Reorientation
Integration
Utilisation
Familiarisation

18. Familiarisation
A teacher is becoming increasingly aware of ICT, and may have attended some INSET, but rarely (and often reluctantly) tries to use it in their classroom teaching.

19. Utilisation
A teacher becomes increasingly aware of the benefits of technology, and begins to incorporate it into teaching, often “replacing” former activities with ICT alternatives. This begins to have beneficial effect on T&L, although use remains fragile and the teacher is often set back, for example by technical hitches.

20. Integration
A teacher is becoming increasingly familiar with appropriate use of ICT, and can integrate it into many aspects of their ongoing teaching.
T&L begins to be very significantly enhanced.

21. Reorientation
The potential of the ICT is now exploited to move into new areas and approaches that could not easily be replicated by more “traditional” means. T&L begins to be significantly transformed.

22. Evolution
The developmental and CREATIVE possibilities of the ICT are being fully explored. ICT use can grow and develop in response to the needs of the learner and the consequent teaching implications. T&L is very significantly transformed.

86. Teacher Perceptions of ICT
While the majority of teachers (92% primary and 92% secondary) are interested in developing their ICT skills and knowledge, many non-computing teachers feel overwhelmed by developments.

87. Teacher Perceptions of ICT
They worry about the pace of developments, feel they cannot cope with the jargon associated with computers, and generally worry about their own lack of skills and knowledge compared to that of their own pupils.

88. Secondary vs. Primary
Secondary teachers seem more comfortable with ICT and are more inclined to find it helpful in a variety of planning and management tasks. On the other hand, they are less convinced than primary teachers about the benefits to pupils.

89. Barriers to Using ICT Losing control of the learning
The majority of teachers first priority is to maintain order in the classroom and to have a controlled learning environment. Any suggestion of adopting very innovative teaching techniques such as using ICT is therefore seen as threatening this orderly pattern and therefore not desirable. There is a genuine fear amongst many teachers about ICT and scepticism of its value to their pupils (Cox, Preston & Cox, 2000)

90. Barriers to Using ICT Inadequate resources
Even if the above problems are overcome there is often a difficulty for teachers who have had some training to be able to use ICT because there are insufficient ICT resources in the school or there is not enough time to review then and plan lessons incorporating their use. (Cox, Preston & Cox, 2000)

91. Teachers’ Attitudes Toward Information Technology Questionnaire (TAT)
To me is:
Important unimportant
Boring interesting
Relevant irrelevant
Exciting unexciting
Appealing unappealing
Fascinating mundane
Worthless valuable
Involving uninvolving
Not needed needed

92. Teachers’ Attitudes Toward Information Technology Questionnaire (TAT)
In our study….
Introverted teachers (quiet, friendly) prefer to use multimedia in the classroom.
Judging types did not value having computers in the classroom as highly as perceiving types.

93. What will increase teachers’ confidence in the use of ICT?
Question:
What will increase teachers’ confidence in the use of ICT?

94. Confidence in ICT Use
Need for development of the necessary skills at all ages, in all parts of society, to use and participate in ICT effectively.
Such skills include functional and digital literacy, and the ability to be involved in creating and accessing content, as well as the ability to participate in an interactive electronic environment.
Confidence also encompasses creating trust, safety and security in the use of ICT.

95. What is Attitude?

96. Attitude is..... A state of mind or a feeling A disposition
An inclination
A tendency

97. Attitudes may be linked to Personality Type

98. How Can Attitudes be Measured?

99. Which one are you?

100. Which one are you?

101. Personality Type Indicator (Myers-Briggs)
Introvert/ Extravert: the data that is important; characteristic relationship to outer or inner world; describes direction of energy flow
introvert- concerned with inner facts/ experience/ reality
extravert- concerned with outer world
Sensing/ Intuitive: perception; the mode of processing information;
sensing- based on sensory data- sight/ hearing/ taste
intuiting- based on grasping wholes, interrelationships, "hunches"

102. Personality Type Indicator (Myers-Briggs)
Thinking/Feeling: valuing and judgment
Thinking- measures information in relation to logic
Feeling-- measured in relation to people and relationships (not the same as emotion; Jung considered this a rational function)
Judging/Perceiving: preferred relationship to the outer world
Judging- needing closure, completion, decision
Perceiving- looking for new information; keeping the question open

103. Personality Type Indicator (Myers-Briggs)
Extroversion Introversion
Sensing Intuition
Thinking Feeling
Judging Perceiving

104. Personality Type Indicator (Myers-Briggs)
Extroversion Introversion
Sensing Intuition
Thinking Feeling
Judging Perceiving

105. Belief Congruence (Ajzen)
Contextual factors can influence beliefs, affecting attitudes and behaviour.
Research based on the principle of belief congruence explores the extent to which the beliefs accessible in the context of attitude assessment are compatible with the beliefs that are accessible in the behavioural context.
