Usage of ICT and its impacts on Teachers Teaching Performance in Classroom at Secondary School Level in Model Colony Malir, Karachi

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on teachers' classroom performance at secondary schools in Model Colony, Karachi. The primary objective was to explore how ICT usage influences teaching effectiveness. Key factors such as teachers' awareness, access to resources, and professional development were examined. A quantitative research design was employed, with a purposive sampling technique to select 141 secondary school teachers. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire, which was analyzed through SPSS. Descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, and mean distribution, were used to interpret the results. Findings revealed that ICT tools significantly enhance teaching practices, with a majority of teachers expressing positive views about ICT's role in improving performance. However, challenges such as inadequate training and access to resources were noted. Based on these findings, it is recommended that continuous training programs be implemented and ICT resources be made more accessible to teachers. This would facilitate the effective integration of ICT in the classroom, ultimately improving educational outcomes.
