STATUS OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IN RELATION TO SELECTED VARIABLES: HIGHER EDUCATION TEACHERS’ PERSPECTIVE
Journal Title: Asian Journal of Management Sciences and Education - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Education institutions recognize the integration of information technology (IT) in the teaching and learning process as one of the most viable interventions towards educational reform. This paper is designed to help decision makers, implementers and technology users to prepare, collect and assess needed information about whether and how technology is being used in their school systems. Well-gathered data are required to make technology assessments which will serve as a basis for good decisions about the distribution and use of technology in the educational environment. Thus, this paper delved on the teachers’ perception on the status of IT in relation to technology proficiency, and the organizational and instructional systems that are supportive of IT. The subjects of the study were sixty (60) teachers in a higher education institution. The data gathering instruments used in the study were researcher-made questionnaire and interview coupled with technology survey on resources and hardware and some available technology documents from different offices. The results indicated teachers’ moderate perception on technology profile, organizational and instructional system which is supportive of IT. The status of IT in the institution was also perceived moderately. The correlation analyses revealed that the teachers’ technology profile, their perception on organizational and instructional system significantly influenced the school’s status of IT. Several recommendations concluded the study including further research that will analyze the capability of the school in improving its entire IT system and infrastructure.
