Problem
statements
There
are three issues related to this problem which are the teachers do not have
enough skills to handle the ICT’s equipment properly, ICT can enhance teaching
and learning process effectively and the school will spent a lot of money on
the ICT’s equipments.
Discussion
There
are many challenges in integrating ICT into our education system. Firstly, the
school will spent a lot of money on the ICT’s equipment. ICT’s equipments use in
teaching and learning process like computer and liquid crystal display (LCD) are
highly cost and really sensitive to handle. Hence, they need to take a good
care for all those ICT’s equipments to avoid it from damaged. This is because
they had to spend a large amount of money not only when they buy it but also in
getting their service. To solve this problem, the government needs to offer
some help in finance and place a professional teacher or technicians who is
expert about the ICT’s tools in every school.
Secondly, not all the
teachers have enough skills in handling the ICT’s equipments. For the former
teacher who was born in era 1970’s, they might not have enough skill to use the
ICT equipment compared to the teachers who were born in the era of 1990. So, to
solve this problem, the government had send the teachers who have poor skill in
handling the ICT’s equipments to participate in the ‘training in service’ or
LDP in order to improve their skills so that they can manage their teaching and
learning process better.
Thirdly, the
ability of ICT to enhance the quality of teaching and learning process
effectively. Actually, the teacher will decide either the ICT help or not.
Nowadays, teachers are using ICT in their lesson in order to motivate their students
to learn and to stay on-task. The positive aspect of this lesson is the most
students appear to be more concentrate on their tasks and working perfectly.
However, sometimes students use the computers for other things like playing
games or open ridiculous website. Besides, in finishing the essay or task most
student just copying the data or information in the internet and in other
words, there is no independent learning. So, the school administration needs to
block the website which is not related so that they can give full attention in
their learning process.
Conclusion
As a conclusion, as a teacher we
need to be fully prepared ourselves by mentally and physically in order to face
all the challenges in education world especially in integrating ICT in teaching
and learning process.
