What is ICT?
• ICT is the technology required for information
processing, in particular, the use of electronic
computers, communication devices and
software applications to convert, store, protect,
process, transmit and retrieve information from
anywhere, anytime.

Role of Trainers/Teachers
Trainers should create opportunities
for students to develop the
necessary competencies:
Information management skills
storing, manipulating, retrieving,
utilising and disseminating information
17
DEVELOPMENTS OF ICT
Computer networks: Learning experienced in a
– Local area network networked computer
– internet and WWW laboratory
ICT-based Utilising the internet:
communication: – Information access
– E-mail – Self-directed learning
– Bulletin boards – Interdependent,
– Chatting collaborative learning
– Video-conferencing Virtual classroom and
– Social networks online learning
18
Theoretical Foundations of ICT
Constructivism:
Is based on the premise
that knowledge CANNOT
be transferred from one
person to another but is
rather constructed by
the learner. Knowledge
is an understanding,
which is generated from
past and present
learning experiences
19
Theoretical foundations of ICT(cont.):
Constructivism
Supports student-centered learning
Supports inquiry-based learning.
The educator mediates between information-
communication technologies, learning
experiences, the learning content and the
students
20
Educational Approaches/Styles
• Mastery learning
• Discovery learning
• Problem-based learning
• Gaming
• Simulation
• Collaborative learning
