AN ANALYSIS OF THE IMPLICATIONS OF COMPUTING FOR CULTURE AND INDUSTRY, AS WELL AS ITS IMPACT ON CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION

Abstract

Many stakeholders, including politicians, investors, and others—who have worked to advance, challenge, and study the educational possibilities of information and communication technology (ICT) are the focus of this research-based dissertation project. Studies have shown that the most effective use of information and communication technology (ICT) requires a mix of constructivist pedagogy and ICT.  Regardless, there are a lot of moving parts in the process of merging communication and information technologies.  If there is a failure to effectively integrate ICT in the classroom, it is frequently the responsibility of the teachers involved because of the crucial role they play in this process.  With a research-based professional development plan as its foundation, this endeavour seeks to educate, empower, and inspire educators to integrate information and communication technology (ICT) into their instructional toolboxes.  An important step towards successful integration, this professional development program only addressed teacher aspects related to information and communication technology (ICT).
