Role of ICT in Teacher Education in Rural Areas

            In recent years, many surveys which have been conducted on education system say that Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) help enhance learning outcomes and improve access to education. ICT literacy is the ability to use digital technology,

communication tools and/or networks to define, access, manage, integrate, evaluate, create and communicate information ethically and legally in order to function in a knowledge society. “To succeed, it is not enough to master technical skills: we must also know how to apply them within an information society”, theme behind ICT literacy. Here, I’d like to discuss few important things about role of ICT in education.

As we know, with the help of Internet, we’re now able to access any information right in front of our monitor and also explore the whole world just at our finger tips. Some great people initiated the mission of improving the areas that were away from the developed regions. The first thing that needs to be focused in order to develop an area is the education of the people over there. So, ICT can be a great tool to enhance education in such areas where it’s difficult for those people to study in technology focused schools.

ICTs are often associated with the most expensive and complex computer based technologies, however, they also include conventional technologies such as radio, television and telephone technology. Once after the invention of internet, the transfer and exchange of information has become the easiest task. The following are the benefits of ICT tools in education:

Distance and Climate incentive:

It doesn’t matter where you’re or how the weather is, you can still access and learn with ICTs.

Cost Effective:

To conduct professional development training for teachers in the rural areas, we need a huge amount of investment to buy ICT tools, once we’ve bought these tech devices, we can provide an awesome learning experience at very low cost. Near-zero maintained devices like Chromebooks are available at a very low cost to teach educators effectively using technology.

Interactivity:

ICT tools are interactive and engage educators easily in their own learning.

In addition, they offer multiple functions of teaching and learning, train teachers to integrate ICT tools in their teaching so that they can easily enhance student achievement and also improve technical skills.

Computer Based National Exam

What does  ICT mean ?

ICTs stand for information and communication technologies.In this modern era ICT has bring a bunch of advantages for almost every parts of our lives.ICT in education makes the process of teaching learning more enjoyable ,effective ,interesting, lively and so on.

As Blanskat, Blamire, kefala (2006) said that conducted a study carried out in national, international, and European schools. With the aim to draw evidences regarding the advantages and benefits of ICT in schools achievements. It seeks to measure the impact of ICT on students’ outcomes. The study also tried to establish a link between the use of ICT and students’ results in exams. The findings are interesting: ICT has positive impact on students’ performances in primary schools particularly in English language and less in science.  Schools with higher level of e-maturity show a rapid increase in performances in scores compared to those with lower level.

         The implementation of ICT in Education for example the implementation of the computer based test (CBT) which used for the first time this year.But many disruptions in the implementation of the computer based test (CBT) in the final examination, reportedly occurred.Some school  had momentarily experienced a blackout during the last five minutes of the exam, which caused all the computers to shut down.Some rural school also face Apart from the shortage of computers and the other school also encountered Internet connection problems.

ICT may give advantages in education if the implementation support by good facilities, that’s why the government should pay more attention in this case.
