The document outlines the significance and components of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education, emphasizing its role in enhancing learning outcomes for B.Ed. exams. It details Anderson's four-stage model of ICT integration in schools: emerging, applying, infusing, and transforming, each representing a progressive level of ICT adoption in educational settings. The purpose is to measure ICT integration and promote its use among educators and students for effective teaching and learning.

5. Anderson’s 4 Stages Model
Anderson (2010) presented a model that represents the
four stages of ICT integration in schools:-
Emerging, Applying, Infusing and Transforming.

6. PURPOSE OF THE MODEL
Measuring the level of ICT integration in
education at all levels of an education system.

8. Emerging
• Focuses on learning basic
ICT skills and identifying
ICT components.
• The emphasis is on learning
to use a range of tools and
applications, and becoming
aware of the potential of
ICT in their future teaching.
• Teachers and learners
become aware of ICT tools,
how they function, and how
they are used.

9. Applying
• The curriculum has been
adapted in order to increase
the use of ICT in different
subject areas, applying
specific software tools in
teaching.

10. Infusing
• Almost all classrooms are
equipped with computers;
as are school offices and the
library, and schools have
Internet connections.
• Teachers are integrating
ICT in all aspects of their
professional lives to
improve their own learning
as well as the learning of
their students.

11. Transforming
• ICT are fully integrated in all
regular classroom learning
activities
• ICT is used to rethink and
renew institutional
organization in creative ways
• ICT are a regular part of the
daily life of the institution
• ICT become an integral,
though invisible part of daily
personal productivity and
professional practice.
