The Effectiveness of ICT in Improving Pedagogical Skills of School Teachers

Education

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has revolutionized the education sector, significantly enhancing pedagogical skills and teaching methodologies among school teachers. The integration of ICT in education facilitates innovative teaching strategies, more efficient instructional delivery, and improved student engagement. This paper examines the effectiveness of ICT in fostering professional development among educators by analysing ICT-based teacher training, digital learning tools, and online resources. A mixed-methods research approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methodologies, was employed to assess the impact of ICT on teaching practices. The findings suggest that ICT integration enhances teachers' content delivery, promotes creativity in pedagogy, and ultimately improves student learning outcomes. However, several challenges hinder full adoption, including inadequate infrastructure, insufficient training, and resistance to change. This paper concludes with recommendations for policymakers and educators to optimize ICT utilization in schools, ensuring sustainable pedagogical improvements.
