Improving understanding of pre service teacher experience with technology int...ijma
Pre-service teachers develop technology competency during their tenure in the college classroom. These
stages coincide with Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy and offer the opportunity to learn and model technology
integration. 656 pre-service education students from five universities across the United States completed a
qualitative survey aimed at identifying how they perceived technology integration throughout their teacher
education program. Three themes, corresponding to Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy, were identified; 1) preservice
teachers first identify and understand technology as a tool, 2) pre-service teachers apply technology
and analyze the process of integration, and 3) overall, pre-service teachers do not evaluate and create
technology integration experiences. The results of this study are discussed thematically in relation to
Bloom’s revised taxonomy. Limitations are discussed and recommendations for future research examined
for pre-service teacher technology training.

This document discusses barriers to integrating information and communication technologies (ICT) into teaching and learning environments. It identifies several common barriers at the teacher and infrastructure levels. At the teacher level, barriers include lack of teacher confidence, competency, and motivation to change their practices. At the infrastructure level, common barriers are lack of adequate ICT resources, effective training, and infrastructure support. To improve ICT integration, the document argues that education systems must address these barriers by enhancing teacher skills and confidence, providing sufficient resources and training, and strengthening infrastructure support.
Assessing school children’ ICT literacy skill remains a problem. Children are different from adults in the way they use technology. For that reason, commonly used evaluation methods such as questionnaires and observations are not able to potray the competency level acquired by these children. This paper explores the possibility of using suitable tracing tool for capturing computing activities of school children. In this pilot study, nine school children who are e-book users have been selected. The log file produced by the tracing tool was then used to identify the patterns of ICT competency level among these e-book users. The results show the benefit of using the RateSkill as a computerized and automated ICT literacy skill assessment tool.

Although the Ghanaian polytechnics have had computers and varied levels of ICT development for almost two decades now, ways
to create effective IT-enabled teaching and learning methodologies have evolved slowly and patchily. This situation is gradually making the
polytechnic trainees incompatible in the digital-enabled job markets. Coupled with this development is the fact that the internet has become
the single and largest library and knowledge reservoir thus making it indispensable in the teaching and learning ambit. It has therefore become
imperative and collective responsibility to identify the factors that inhibit the adoption of the technology by the tertiary teachers especially
the Polytechnic Teachers Association of Ghana (POTAG) fraternity to bridge the digital gab to add more value to the polytechnic teachers
and graduates and to raise their relevance in the industry. This research therefore comes in, with the case of the Tamale Polytechnic, to
explore the challenges and recommend strategies to stakeholders. Descriptive survey methodology, which is capable of collecting background
information and hard to find data without the researcher motivating or influencing respondents' responses, was used to arrive at our findings.

THE USE OF COMPUTER-BASED LEARNING ASSESSMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL COURSES: A STR...IAEME Publication
Background/Objectives: While the increase in classroom technology, it is necessary to examine how assessment is administered through technology. The purpose of this study is to understand how students and faculty are perceived and examine the effectiveness of the computer-based assessment in professional education courses (Educational Technology) at Northern Iloilo Polytechnic State College, Iloilo, Philippines. Methods: The research design utilized in this study is mixed-method research. A computer-based assessment was utilized to assess students' performance in educational technology. This instrument was validated, and pilot tested to establish reliability. Each campus of NIPSC selected ten students of 70 as respondents during Academic Year 2016-2017. Frequency count, mean, standard deviation, and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were statistical tools used for data analyses. Findings: The study's finding showed a high score of students in the posttest ensured better performance of the students in educational technology. The increase in the posttest per performance level of the students was due to an accurate measure of what they have learned in educational technology. The majority of students users agreed that online assessment was fasters than the paper and pencil form. Also, users agreed that online assessment is contemporary and more systematic. They also stated that online assessment is consistent with the teaching style, but they are less anxious. Furthermore, according to faculty and students, ninety percent (90%) believed that computer-based assessment accurately measures what they are teaching and what they learned in school, respectively. Novelty: With the current situation that the education system is in new normal, computer-based learning is important in flexible learning. And assessment using technology is a great help to both faculty and students. Thus, state universities and colleges (SUCs) should adopt this innovation to help teaching and learning.
This study aimed to develop an ICT skills-based training program for high school teachers at Agusan Pequeño National High School. The study found that teachers had low ICT knowledge and skills proficiency. Based on these findings, the researcher created a training program called "Project GRID" to address the needs of teachers. Expert validators found the program to be acceptable. It was recommended that the school adopt Project GRID long-term and level up questions in future assessments to focus more on applying ICT skills in a pedagogical context.

HIGHER EDUCATION FACULTY STAFF EREADINESS IN INSTITUTIONS OF THE ROYAL COMMIS...ijait
Critical analysis of technological skills deemed extremely important in the evaluation of faculty staff e- readiness. Research aims at assessing e-readiness of faculty staff in the affiliate institutions of the Royal Commission in Jubail, and to investigate whether their experience in using ICTs influences
their judgement about using ICTs or not. Survey methodology facilitated through the use of questionnaires collected from 146 respondents. Analysis revealed that faculty staff judgement about using ICTs, their e- readiness and willingness to using ICTs are highly positive. Moreover, their experience in using ICTs did not significantly predict their judgement about ICTs. The result of this study provides valuable insights as it will enable policy-makers to prioritize interventions needed for
transforming the Institutions of the Royal Commission in Jubail into an e-ready entity favourably placed to benefit from digital opportunities, as well as to develop and support factors that enhance strategies for adopting ICTs effectively.
THE USE OF COMPUTER-BASED LEARNING ASSESSMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL COURSES: A STR...IAEME Publication
Background/Objectives: While the increase in classroom technology, it is necessary to examine how assessment is administered through technology. The purpose of this study is to understand how students and faculty are perceived and examine the effectiveness of the computer-based assessment in professional education courses (Educational Technology) at Northern Iloilo Polytechnic State College, Iloilo, Philippines. Methods: The research design utilized in this study is mixed-method research. A computer-based assessment was utilized to assess students' performance in educational technology. This instrument was validated, and pilot tested to establish reliability. Each campus of NIPSC selected ten students of 70 as respondents during Academic Year 2016-2017. Frequency count, mean, standard deviation, and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were statistical tools used for data analyses. Findings: The study's finding showed a high score of students in the posttest ensured better performance of the students in educational technology. The increase in the posttest per performance level of the students was due to an accurate measure of what they have learned in educational technology. The majority of students users agreed that online assessment was fasters than the paper and pencil form. Also, users agreed that online assessment is contemporary and more systematic. They also stated that online assessment is consistent with the teaching style, but they are less anxious. Furthermore, according to faculty and students, ninety percent (90%) believed that computer-based assessment accurately measures what they are teaching and what they learned in school, respectively. Novelty: With the current situation that the education system is in new normal, computer-based learning is important in flexible learning. And assessment using technology is a great help to both faculty and students. Thus, state universities and colleges (SUCs) should adopt this innovation to help teaching and learning.
This study aimed to develop an ICT skills-based training program for high school teachers at Agusan Pequeño National High School. The study found that teachers had low ICT knowledge and skills proficiency. Based on these findings, the researcher created a training program called "Project GRID" to address the needs of teachers. Expert validators found the program to be acceptable. It was recommended that the school adopt Project GRID long-term and level up questions in future assessments to focus more on applying ICT skills in a pedagogical context.
THE RATIONALE AND FRAMEWORK FOR EVALUATING THE ICT USE IN TEACHER EDUCATION D...DrGavisiddappa Angadi
The document presents a framework for evaluating the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in teacher education. It identifies four themes - context and culture, leadership and vision, lifelong learning, and planning and management of change - that should guide ICT integration. It also outlines four core competencies for teachers: pedagogy, collaboration and networking, social issues, and technical issues. The framework was designed to help institutions plan and implement effective ICT use across their teacher education programs by considering relevant factors. The goal is to prepare teachers to incorporate technology in their own teaching and lifelong learning.

IRJET-Importance of soft skills training from an early ageIRJET Journal
The document discusses the importance of developing soft skills from an early age through integrating informal and formal learning. It presents a strategy developed by researchers to strengthen soft skills training in primary education using invisible learning. The strategy incorporates techniques like flipped classroom, team-based learning, knowledge mapping and incorporating real-world examples from students' environments. It aims to make school learning more reflective of everyday informal learning to better develop skills like teamwork, ICT management and communication from an early age.
This study aims to examine factors influencing aspects such as teacher's personality, student's behavior, environmental which has influence student's affective and cognitive. The data were obtained using methods: interview and questionnaire. The random participant has been chosen for interviewed and population has been used for the questionnaire. There were 1585 participants have filled the questionnaire and 24 students have interviewed. Interview data were recorded and analyzed. The results have processed, it was classified according to study programs following the indicator. The research finding shows that: factors from lecturers and teaching assistants got 78 - 81%, academic and non-academic facilities got 74.91% - 80.86% and dormitory as living for students got 69.16% which have a big impact on influencing student's affective and cognitive. There were also issues such as teacher's centered-learning, most of students and class situations can often be uncomfortable.
The document discusses the adoption of technology in education in India. It finds that while educational institutions acknowledge the importance of technology, there are also doubts and challenges to greater adoption. The top priorities for institutions are improving student results, enhancing teaching quality, optimizing costs, and strengthening faculty skills. Key challenges include financial constraints, lack of technical knowledge, and concerns about costs and reliability of technology systems. When implemented properly, technology can improve learning outcomes by facilitating collaboration, research skills, and access to information for students and teachers.

Time and Location Don’t Stall Learning at Nissan
Nissan has more than 150,000 people working around the world, including automobile production locations in twenty countries and product markets in more than 160 countries. To ensure that the company could meet its global plans for growth and expansion, Nissan identified sixty high-potential employees who needed to develop the skills and competencies that would prepare them to be successful in their careers. The high-potential employees worked in different functional areas, levels, and locations, including Latin America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia. For these employees, face-to-face interaction in a classroom would be invaluable because it would help them develop and expand their professional network and work together on group projects. Also, classroom instruction would ensure that the employees would receive a consistent message and approach to developing leadership skills and competencies based on Nissan’s core business principles and331their questions could be immediately answered by the instructor or facilitator. But face-to-face classroom instruction was unrealistic because these employees could not be away from their work for an extended period of time and traveling to one location for training from sites around the world was too expensive.
To gain the benefits of face-to-face instruction and overcome time and travel challenges, Nissan created an e-learning program, which included a virtual classroom. This allowed Nissan to combine the strengths of a classroom experience, including relationship building, immediate feedback, and the ability to practice skills with those of an online learning environment (easily accessible resources at any time or place). The first step in the program was that program participants assessed their own competencies. Their boss and peers completed a similar assessment. Next, the participants attended a virtual feedback session where the assessment results were explained. Courses designed to improve their current skills or develop new skills were offered in a virtual classroom ...

The application was determined to be a very suitable learning medium for automation subjects in vocational school fields related to automation and office management.
Predicting student performance in higher education using multi-regression modelsTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Supporting the goal of higher education to produce graduation who will be a professional leader is a crucial. Most of universities implement intelligent information system (IIS) to support in achieving their vision and mission. One of the features of IIS is student performance prediction. By implementing data mining model in IIS, this feature could precisely predict the student’ grade for their enrolled subjects. Moreover, it can recognize at-risk students and allow top educational management to take educative interventions in order to succeed academically. In this research, multi-regression model was proposed to build model for every student. In our model, learning management system (LMS) activity logs were computed. Based on the testing result on big students datasets, courses, and activities indicates that these models could improve the accuracy of prediction model by over 15%.
Clustering Students of Computer in Terms of Level of ProgrammingEditor IJCATR
Educational data mining (EDM) is one of the applications of data mining. In educational data mining, there are two key domains, i.e. student domain and faculty domain. Different type of research work has been done in both domains.
In existing system the faculty performance has calculated on the basis of two parameters i.e. Student feedback and the result of student in that subject. In existing system we define two approaches one is multiple classifier approach and the other is a single classifier approach and comparing them, for relative evaluation of faculty performance using data mining
Techniques. In multiple classifier approach K-nearest neighbor (KNN) is used in first step and Rule based classification is used in the second step of classification while in single classifier approach only KNN is used in both steps of classification.
But in proposed system, I will analyse the faculty performance using 4 parameters i.e., student complaint about faculty, Student review feedback for faculty, students feedback, and students result etc.
For this proposed system I will be going to use opinion mining technique for analyzing performance of faculty and calculating score of each faculty.
The document discusses the effects of improper technology usage on student academic performance at Caluluan High School. It aims to determine how improper tech use impacts students' personality, classroom behavior, and exam results. The study will survey 30 senior students about their tech habits and academic performance. Results could help students, parents, teachers understand why some students struggle and guide better tech integration. The conceptual framework suggests technology can positively or negatively impact academics depending on proper vs improper use. Foreign and local literature and studies on technology in education are also reviewed.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Lamut, Ifugao, Philippines
ABSTRACT
The growth of internet technologies changed learning strategies globally. The Philippines is no exemption.
Due to its usefulness and potential, E-learning is becoming popular. But before these benefits would be
enjoyed, it is very important for an institution to be assessed. This is to identify the needs and factors that
directly affect their readiness. This study presents a readiness assessment tool for Philippine Higher
Education Institutions. It also serves as a needs assessment instrument.
KEYWORDS
E-learning, E-learning Readiness, assessment tool
1.INTRODUCTION
The evolution of technology addresses the gaps in teaching and learning. E-learning (EL) is the
use of technology to enhance teaching and learning activities. Oye et.al said that it is a used to
describe the fields of online learning, web-based training and technology delivered instructions
[1]. The main purpose of E-Learning is to increase accessibility of education and reducing costs.
It also increases productivity [2] while enhancing independent learning ([3]. This approach of
learning facilitates students at different continents to attend the same classes almost at the same
time [4]. It also creates economic benefits, and make lifelong learning opportunity for all [5]. Cai
[6] further concludes that e-learning brings changes in pedagogical strategies and improves the
efficiency of teaching and learning. This was agreed by Akhondi [7].Educational institutions
strive to meet the needs of all stake holders due to the advances in web-based learning [8].
Higher Education Institutions in the Philippines were mandated to change the curriculum to
Outcomes-Based Education. In 2012,the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) thru its
CHED Memorandum Order No. 46, ordered the promotion and adoption of learner-centred
learning. This is the essence of e-learning. This initiative is promising but issues arise on the
readiness of state universities and colleges in adopting such change. The use of technology in the
country is still in its infancy, shifting to e-learning platform is still on its planning stages.
The benefits of eLearning can only be experienced if the organization is deemed prepared.
Learning institutions should first assess their readiness to integrate e-learning. This is if they want
to implement and benefit from it [9].
Borotis and Poulymenakou [10] defined e-learning readiness (ELR) as the mental or physical
preparedness of an organization.ELR assessment helps an organization to design e-learning
strategies comprehensively. Learners and teachers must also be e-ready so that an achievable
strategy may be implemented. ELR assessment provides key information to organizations who
are willing to supply e-learning solutions. These solutions cater for the specific needs of each

learning [11].It is for these reasons that universities should evaluate their readiness, define their
requirements and identify their degree of e-readiness through objective assessment [12].
There are several models proposed in assessing the degree of e-learning readiness. The most
popular are those of Watkins [13], Chapnick [14], Aydin & Tasci [15], Borotis & Poulymenakou
[10], Rosenberg [16], Broadbent [17], Anderson [18], Mercado [19], Kaur & Abas [20], and
Psycharis [21].
These models have been implemented in e-matured institutions and not in developing countries
like the Philippines. Rogers stressed that every system has its own norms that can be effective in
diffusing an innovation in its system [22]. To ensure that actual benefit of e-learning is valid in
appropriate situations, there is a need to measure the readiness of an organization or individual,
appropriately. Further, e-learning models may not be appropriate to use across countries due to
the varying needs of the role-players.
The succeeding sections discusses the method used along with the discussion of the results. In the
Method section, it discusses the procedures done in developing and validating the tool. The
instrument subsection discusses the tool itself while the respondents subsection discusses the
participants in the data collection. The Results and Discussion section presents the results and
discussion of the data collection and analysis. Lastly, conclusions and recommendations are
presented.
2.METHOD
Literature review was conducted which served as the basis for the formulation of e-learning
dimensions suited for Philippine setting. There were twenty two literatures considered for
analysis and served as the basis for this study.
2.1.Instrumentation
The core of the questionnaire was is set of items relating to issues that have been proposed in the
literature to assess the readiness towards e-learning. Moreover, it assesses the factors that
influence the success of e-learning initiatives. The items are close-ended and developed
specifically for this study. These are divided into three sets of factors reflecting the structural
division of roles in higher education institutions. These are institutional, teacher, and student
factors. Each role has a different questionnaire.
The instrument for the teacher describes the profile of the teacher. Also, it measures access to
technology, confidence, attitudes, training and their perceived usefulness. The second instrument
describes the demographic profile of the student, measures access to technology and confidence.
It also measure attitudes, training, social support and perceived usefulness. Finally, the third
instrument measures institutional readiness. It measures ICT infrastructure, administrative and
resource support. The questionnaire is patterned from Mercado’s [19] tool. It is further
incorporated with factors discussed in the literature which are deemed of importance.
2.2.Respondents
To verify the reliability of the instrument, data were taken from 28 faculty members of the
College of Computer Science, 83 students and 5 administrative officers of the Ifugao State
University, main campus.

3.RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The Cronbach’s alpha was determined to verify the reliability of the instrument. Results show that
each dimension has a Cronbach’s Alpha of 6 and above. This means thatthe instrument is reliable.
Some items in the questionnaire were not included to increase its Cronbach’s Alpha. This resulted
to the compression of the instrument. The participants in the survey were composed of 28 faculty,
83 students and 5 administrators.
Table 1 indicates the Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient for each sub-dimension in the Student
instrument wherein 9 items were deleted to increase its reliability. The student questionnaire was
reduced from 72 to 63 items.
Table 1. Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient in the Student instrument
It can be gleaned in Table 2 that 3 items were deleted to increase its Cronbach’s Alpha. This led
to the reduction of the teacher instrument from 78 to 75 questions.

4.CONCLUSIONS
Results show that the instrument is reliable with each dimension in every role having a
Cronbach’s Alpha of 6 and above. The non-inclusion of some items in the questionnaire increases
its Cronbach’s Alpha which led to the compression of the instrument. It is therefore concluded
that the tool is reliable and suited for Philippine Setting.
However, the students find the questionnaire time-consuming.
RECOMMENDATIONS
While the instrument yielded positive reliability, it is recommended that it would still be reduced
to shorten the time spent in answering. This way, students especially, would concentrate
answering and completely fill-up the questionnaire.
It is recommended further that factor analysis would be conducted to compact the tool. Finally,
this tool is recommended for Philippine Higher Education Institutions which are considering to
implement e-learning platforms, especially the state universities and colleges.
