ICT Proficiency for Efficient Conduct of Digital Classroom Teaching
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2024, Vol 23, Issue 9
Abstract
This study investigates the integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) among Kindergarten Teachers in the Bohol District, focusing on its impact on pedagogical practices and student learning outcomes. The purpose is to assess the current proficiency levels of ICT use and identify factors that influence effective integration in early childhood education. Guided by the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework, which emphasizes the intersection of technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge, this research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how ICT can enhance educational quality and foster digital literacy. The study employs a mixed-methods design, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to gather data from kindergarten teachers regarding their ICT usage, access to resources, and training experiences. Key findings indicate significant disparities in resource availability and professional development opportunities, contributing to a digital divide that affects teaching effectiveness. While teachers express willingness to integrate ICT, many face challenges due to inadequate training and limited access to quality equipment and broadband connections. Analysis reveals that interactive learning methods, supported by ICT, significantly enhance student engagement and understanding. Additionally, social media platforms, when used appropriately, can improve communication and interaction with course content. However, the effectiveness of these tools depends on teachers' ability to motivate and guide students in their use. The study concludes that targeted ICT enhancement training programs are essential to address existing gaps. These programs should focus on providing teachers with the necessary skills and resources to integrate technology effectively into their classrooms. By empowering educators through professional development and improved access to ICT resources, the study aims to contribute to a more equitable and effective educational environment, ultimately benefiting both teachers and students.
