Summary: | It is generally believed that
information and communication technologies (ICTs) can
empower teachers and learners, promote change and foster the
development of '21st century skills, but data to
support these beliefs are still limited. There is widespread
belief that ICTs can and will empower teachers and learners,
transforming teaching and learning processes from being
highly teacher-dominated to student-centered, and that this
transformation will result in increased learning gains for
students, creating and allowing for opportunities for
learners to develop their creativity, problem-solving
abilities, informational reasoning skills, communication
skills, and other higher-order thinking skills. However,
there are currently very limited, unequivocally compelling
data to support this belief. |
