Contemporary Dialogue

Abstract

Information and communication technology (ICT) influences gender disparities, institution type, public or private. The regular use of a computer and accessing ICT infrastructure influences technology application, whereby training and professional development can be marked as quite necessary. For assessment and evaluation, the study applies a chi-square test to determine the involvement in ICT training results and changes in ICT usage patterns. The results demonstrate regular access having a significant impact on teaching and learning, for which ICT training is crucial. The results show that everyday access of teachers to ICT resources increases the integration of technology in the classroom. ICT availability along with daily access will impact the usage to a major extent. The present study brings out the fact that ICT integration into education environments demands a more progressive approach. Successful adoption refers to the same level of access to resources, followed by support and training. Recommendations include further increase of access to ICT to enhance learning environments and supportive networks for teachers with assessment, evaluation and training. Putting these tactics into practice should help educational establishments strengthen the usage of ICT in the assessment and evaluation by teacher educators.
