ICT in Teaching Learning Process

COMPUTER EDUCATION PROGRAMME

                            Computers are transforming communications and the economy. Every child should be exposed to computers to understand the significance of this technology. The aim of CEP is that every student should understand how a computer works, have some grasp of how to find information on the Internet and learn how to use a computer and the Internet and knowledge about how computers are used by Government, Educational Institutions, Industries and people at their home.

The introduction of CEP into the classroom has the potential to transform many people’s traditional way of thinking about education. Computers in the classroom may have played a role in changing the traditional view on teaching and learning. Education is no longer seen as the teacher transmitting knowledge to pupil. 

 

 

CEP can advance higher order thinking skills such as comprehension, reasoning, problem-solving, creative thinking and complex cognitive performances, the ultimate purpose of which is not efficient use of memory but problem solving. These cognitive performances can include critical thinking evaluative skills, problem solving through analysis, synthesis and evaluation, meta-cognition (an awareness of one’s own thought processes and the skills used in the thought processes)

CEP aims to train students in skills which they will need in further education and ongoing learning throughout the rest of their lives and for their future employment. As a bare minimum, students should know how to type, how to use a word processor, how to “drive” an operating system and how to navigate the Internet. In order to equip pupils with the technological skills to make a significant contribution in an ICT rich world, careful consideration should be given to integrate computers into teaching and learning.
