Investigating the Perception of Teachers about ICT Facilities And their Role in Improving their Pedagogical Performance

Abstract

ICT is essential for enhancing the instructional effectiveness of teachers. Teachers no longer use white boards or blackboards; instead, they use projectors and online learning. The goal of this study was to investigate how ICT resources can enhance secondary school teachers' instructional effectiveness. The present study aimed to investigate the notion that a noteworthy correlation exists between instructors' educational performance and their use of ICT. This study was carried out in the Rawalpindi district's two tehsils. 1161 secondary school teachers employed in Tehsil Rawalpindi (District Rawalpindi) and Tehsil Kallar Syedan made up the entire population of the current study. Using a basic random approach, 289 teachers were included in the sample. There was a quantitative research design. SPSS version 29 was used to analyse the self-administered data collection. The use of ICT devices (printer, cell phone, projector, computer, and laptop) and teachers' pedagogical performance (design and development, academic flexibility, feedback, innovation/best practices, meeting diverse needs, student profile, teaching-learning process, and evaluation process) are found to be moderately, positively, and significantly correlated.
