Impact of Information Communication Technology Tools on Teaching and Learning of Secondary School Learners

Abstract

The implementation of Information Communication Technology (ICT) has streamlined the result[1]oriented delivery of teaching and learning that has also facilitated the creation of engaging and interactive learning and enhanced the assessment. Although students currently benefit from enhanced access to diverse learning resources, peer collaboration, and self-directed learning due to technological advancements. The study is an attempt to analyze of impacts of ICT on academic and pedagogical effects on the learners of secondary school of Karachi. School learners' curiosity, ideas, and concept development matter for their future educational journey, and schools are unable to develop their competencies in the era of ICT which is a concern of all stakeholders. A survey has been used for the data collection from eight schools from all districts of Karachi. The sample has been collected randomly from the n-8 schools with N=1200 students from class 6th to 10thlevel. SPSS has been used for data analysis. The results reveal that ICT tools have not been used in teaching and learning management. Due to financial constraints, the utilization of ICT devices in classroom management is delayed or ignored. Nonetheless, inadequate electrical supply and poor internet connectivity in most of the areas significantly hinder the use of ICT devices in classrooms, compounded by the need for additional training for teachers from non-technical backgrounds. It is recommended that ICT tools should be used extensively for better learning outcomes at the school level.
