SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS IN ICT KNOWLEDGE AND

OPERATIONS”DEVELOPED BY: S.C. BOBMANUEL

TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION

DEVELOPED BY: S.C. BOBMANUEL


ICTS STAND FOR INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES AND ARE

DEFINED, FOR THE PURPOSES, AS A “DIVERSE SET OF TECHNOLOGICAL TOOLS AND

RESOURCES USED TO COMMUNICATE, AND TO CREATE, DISSEMINATE, STORE, AND MANAGE

INFORMATION.” THESE TECHNOLOGIES INCLUDE COMPUTERS, THE INTERNET, BROAD

CASTING TECHNOLOGIES (RADIO AND TELEVISION), AND TELEPHONY.

RESEARCH QUESTION:THE MAIN RESEARCH QUESTION

IS: WHAT IS THE TEACHERS’ PROSPECTIVE ROLE IN A RICHLY

ICT-DESIGNED LEARNING ENVIRONMENT AND WHAT

COMPETENCES ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS ROLE?


THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS ARE POSED IN THIS STUDY:1. what are the consequences of (the use of) ICT in occupational practice on the attainment targets and curriculum of secondary (agricultural) vocational education?


2. what are the interactions between new educational insights and the use of ict in educational practice?

3. what are the consequences of an ‘ICT-integrated’ curriculum (in secondary vocational education) and the use of ICT on the job of the (future) vet professional?


4. What is the new – ICT-integrated – job profile of the vet-professional, based on which the attainment targets and the curriculum of

the teacher training can be altered?

5.Before presenting the research methods and results, we will discuss the concept of a

richly ICT-designed learning environment and the status quo of the use of ICT in Nigerian

vocational education.


EFFECTIVENESS 0F ICT IN EDUCATION:1. Access to remote learning resources. Teachers and learners no longer have to rely solely on printed books and other materials in physical media housed in libraries (and available in limited quantities) for their educational needs. With the internet and the world wide web, a wealth of learning materials in almost every subject and in a variety of media can now be accessed from anywhere at anytime of the day and by an unlimited number of people. This is particularly significant for many schools in developing countries, and even some in developed countries, that have limited and outdated library resources

2. ICTs also facilitate access to resource persons, mentors, experts, researchers, professionals, business leaders, and peers—all over the world.

3. ICTs help prepare individuals for the workplace.One of the most commonly cited reasons for using ICTs in the classroom has been to better prepare the current generation of students for a workplace where ICTs, particularly computers, the internet and related technologies, are becoming more and more ubiquitous.


ADVANTAGES OF ICT IN EDUCATION

GENERAL BENEFITS:1. GREATER EFFICIENCY THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL.2. COMMUNICATION CHANNELS ARE INCREASED THROUGH EMAIL, DISCUSSION GROUPS AND CHAT ROOMS3. REGULAR USE OF ICT ACROSS DIFFERENT CURRICULUM SUBJECTS CAN HAVE A BENEFICIAL MOTIVATIONAL INFLUENCE ON STUDENTS’ LEARNING.BENEFITS FOR TEACHERS:1. ICT FACILITATES SHARING OF RESOURCES, EXPERTISE AND ADVICE2. GREATER FLEXIBILITY IN WHEN AND WHERE TASKS ARE CARRIED OUT3. GAINS IN ICT LITERACY SKILLS, CONFIDENCE AND ENTHUSIASM.4. EASIER PLANNING AND PREPARATION OF LESSONS AND DESIGNING MATERIALS5. ACCESS TO UP-TO-DATE PUPIL AND SCHOOL DATA, ANY TIME AND ANYWHERE.6. ENHANCEMENT OF PROFESSIONAL IMAGE PROJECTED TO COLLEAGUES. DEVELOPED BY: S.C. BOBMANUEL

BENEFITS FOR STUDENTS:1. Higher quality lessons through greater collaboration between teachers in planning and preparing resources .2. More focused teaching, tailored to students’ strengths and weaknesses, through better analysis of attainment data3. Improved pastoral care and behaviour management through better tracking of students4. Gains in understanding and analytical skills, including improvements in reading5. Development of writing skills (including spelling, grammar, punctuation, editing and re-drafting), also fluency, originality and elaboration.6.

BENEFITS FOR PARENTS:1. Easier communication with teachers2. Higher quality student reports – more legible, more detailed, better presented3. Greater access to more accurate attendance and attainment information4. Increased involvement in education for parents and, in some cases, improved self-esteem5. Increased knowledge of children’s learning and capabilities, owing to increase in learning activity being situated in the home6. Parents are more likely to be engaged in the school community


The following disadvantages give a list of objectives that staff and facilitators may be required to deal with should problems occur throughout using the ICT equipment.1. Cost2. Distractions3. Reliability4. Damage5. Safety6. Hacking
