ICT use in B.Ed. Teacher Education course
he National Knowledge Commission (NKC) has observed that teachers are the single most important element of the education system and the country is already facing a severe shortage of qualified and motivated teachers at different levels. The training of teachers is a major area of concern at present as both pre-service and in- service training of teachers are extremely inadequate and poorly managed in most states. Pre-service training needs to be improved and differently regulated both in public and private institutions.
3. NCTFE 2009 emphasised ICT in schooling as well as e-learning became centre stage in the frame work. ICT has become an integral part of today’s teaching learning process.
4. The integration of ICTs in teaching in general and teacher education in particular is the need of the day. The use of ICTs can make substantial changes both for teaching and training mainly in two ways. Firstly, the rich representation of information changes learner’s perception and understanding of the context. Secondly, the vast distribution and easy access to information can change relationships between teachers and taught. ICTs can also provide powerful support for educational innovation.
5. Time is not sufficient: most of the teacher educators felt that comprehensive Experiences can’t be given in the one year duration of teacher training course and was very difficult to imbibe skills and aptitude. It was also opined there was a mismatch between the training student teachers get in the colleges with the real teaching Experience they had in the regular classrooms. On supportive to the above statements the Honourable Justice Verma committee proposed to have 2 years B.Ed. course and NCTE has suggested to have the Blend of technology (ICT) with all subjects and Experiences of training.
6. Why do we need ICT? The face of classroom is changing. The teachers should prepare to keep up with technology utility in the classroom. ICT is not only an essential tool for teachers in their day to day work, but also offers them opportunities for their own professional development. Teaching with ICT the input and output time is reduced and process time is increased. When the process time is increased, time of students’ activities, discussion, correlation with other subjects, brainstorming and learning etc will increase.
7. approaches to ICT which can be used in the classroom 1.Integrated approach: This aims at planning the use of ICT within the subject to enhance particular concepts and skills and improve pupils’ achievement. This involves, Selecting the suitable ICT resources which will contribute to the aims and objectives of the curriculum. 2.Enhancement Approach: this focus on the use of an ICT resource will enhance the existing subject matter through some aspects of the lessons and tasks. Eg. Using an electronic whiteboard for presenting a theory about a topic. 3.Complementary approach: This aims at using an ICT resource to empower the students’ learning, Eg. By enabling them to improve their class work by taking notes on the computer or by sending home work by email to the teacher from home.
