Integrating ICT in Education: Impact on Teachers‘ Beliefs and Practices
Abstract
In this chapter, we present the findings of a study carried out at the University of Jordan to evaluate ICTE, an accredited, one-year high diploma training program in ICT Education. The ICTE program aims at preparing Jordanian teachers to use information and communication technology in education. In this study, we attempt to examine the program in terms of its social impact on teachers‘ lives and how it changed their pedagogical beliefs and practices in teaching. We adopt an evaluation methodology based on empirical analysis of the program modules and students profiling. This study used a combination of quantitative and qualitative tools including questionnaire interviews and document analysis. We focus on problems experienced by students, and highlight issues and recommendations to be considered for the success of the program. During the past three years, over 860 participants graduated from the ICTE program after they have been thoroughly trained on cutting-edge software packages to be used through the school curricula in Jordan.
