Abstract
The present study aimed to know the attitude towards ICT of user and non-user teachers of ICT. The data were collected from 40 (20 male and 20 Female) user and non-user of ICT secondary school teachers from Agra city. Attitude towards ICT was measured by Computer Attitude Scale (CAS), originally developed by Loyd and Gressard (1984). Data were treated by Mean, SD and t-test. The findings of study reveal that the ICT user teachers' attitude towards ICT is highly positive in comparison to ICT non-user teachers but they have also positive attitude towards ICT in relation to their school teaching subjects. It is clear that vast majority of secondary school teachers have positive attitude towards ICT in relation to their school teaching subjects for many reasons. Other important findings are also discussed.
Highlights
The relatively recent introduction of new technology into mainstream schooling was widely expected to penetrate and transform teaching and learning across the curriculum
In relation to the above-mentioned objectives, the hypotheses can be formulated as following: 1. There is no significant difference between the attitude of information and communication technologies (ICT) user and non-user teachers towards ICT in relation to their school teaching subjects
There is no significant difference between the attitude of male ICT user and non-user teachers towards ICT in relation to their school teaching subjects
Summary
The relatively recent introduction of new technology into mainstream schooling was widely expected to penetrate and transform teaching and learning across the curriculum. Teachers and teacher-trainers have recognized the potential of ICT to enhance teaching and learning, and as a side effect the number of published articles about the use of ICT in school work is enormous (Bell and Bell, 2003). It is again justified that just by installing various technologies in schools and classrooms would not ensure its effective integration in teaching learning process, we need to know the attitude of the teachers in relation to integrate technology in their classroom. The teacher’s attitude towards the new technology plays vital role in using or not using technology in their school teaching subjects. The above study is designed to consider the above problems in the Indian context
