This paper examines the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) with transactional strategies in education, focusing on digital storytelling as a teaching tool. It explores how these methods enhance student engagement, creativity, and understanding. ICT supports interactive, student-centred learning, while transactional strategies promote collaboration, communication, and critical thinking. Digital storytelling allows students to create narratives using digital tools, making learning more meaningful. The study reviews literature, case studies, and theoretical analysis, showing that ICT-integrated strategies improve student outcomes, particularly in critical thinking and creativity. Challenges include resource limitations, teacher training, and resistance to new technologies. The assignment recommends investing in infrastructure and professional development to overcome these obstacles. Despite challenges, integrating ICT and transactional strategies through digital storytelling makes learning more engaging and accessible, improving educational outcomes.
Our country has been putting a lot of efforts to improve the quality and relevance of our higher education system. The quality of higher education definitely depends a lot on the quality of its teachers. Teacher is still a major source of knowledge and development for the students. Thus there is a greater emphasis on teachers at current times for the improvement of the quality of teaching learning a Faculty development programs (FDPs) for teachers are introduced which is seen as a method of “train the trainer” holds utmost importance in the system of higher education as well as for the prosperity of the individual institutes today. Faculty development programs (FDPs) are integral to enhancing the teaching effectiveness and professional growth of collegelevel educators. This study employs a survey-based approach to evaluate the influence of FDPs on teachers within higher education institutions. A structured questionnaire was administered to a diverse sample of college teachers who have participated in various FDPs. The survey gathered data on perceived changes in teaching practices, pedagogical skills, attitudes towards teaching, and professional networking as a result of FDP participation. Analysis of survey responses highlights significant positive impacts of FDPs, including improved instructional strategies, heightened motivation, and expanded professional networks. However, challenges such as time constraints and institutional support were also identified. These findings underscore the importance of tailored FDPs that address the specific needs of college educators, ensuring continuous professional development and advancing educational quality in higher education settings.
The rapid growth of social media platforms has reshaped various facets of life, including education. Instagram, primarily an audio-visual content-sharing platform, is increasingly perceived as a potential learning tool. This research paper explores the usage and perception of Instagram as a learning tool, focusing on its role in educational engagement and content dissemination. Through survey and interview schedules, this study investigated the frequency of Instagram use for learning, and its perceived effectiveness as a learning platform. The study observed that Instagram is primarily used for visuals, and short-period content, with little usage for educational purposes and variation in frequency of usage patterns among different age groups. It was also found that while Instagram has certain advantages, such as accessibility, interaction, and engagement, it also comes with some disadvantages, such as inaccuracies, distraction, and shallow content. This study emphasized the positive and negative aspects of Instagram, along with providing insightful information about how the platform is developing as a teaching tool. The study suggests that Instagram can be utilized as one of the best options to supplement more conventional, structured forms of education, and presents special opportunities for informal learning and social interaction. And, it has the potential to develop into a more reliable and interesting learning tool in the future if partnerships with academic institutions, content verification, and increased engagement are given top priority.
The pandemic has impacted every sector of society, including education. The effects of the pandemic were harsh on the lower socioeconomic class, as they did not have access to private tutors or online learning resources during the lockdown period. While upper-middle-class and lower-middle-class families managed to use online learning resources, the education of children from the lower socioeconomic class suffered. To better understand the impact on these students, a qualitative study was conducted in India, using semi-structured interviews to gather data from 25 students in grades 9-12. The study revealed three themes: the impact of online learning on the mental health and education of students, barriers to online learning, and preferred modes of learning. Due to the limited availability of online learning resources, students were not able to cope with their studies, which adversely impacted their mental health. To ensure that underprivileged children are included in future lockdowns or similar situations, authorities should provide financial assistance and smart devices for their education.
HyFlex is the new model that has emerged in education, combining traditional classroom instruction with online instruction and thus offering learners more flexibility and freedom in their learning lifecycle. This paper discusses its background, principles, benefits, challenges, and whether it can transform higher education. Based on the analysis of current literature and case studies, we discuss HyFlex as a means for ensuring both educational quality and engagement within responses to the diverse needs of contemporary student populations. We thereby discuss implications on instructors, institutions, and educational policy in the circumstances for its implementation and prospects in an increasingly digital and flexible educational environment.
In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in various sectors, including education. The integration of AI into classroom teaching has the potential to enhance learning outcomes, personalize educational experiences, and support educators in their instructional practices. The integration of artificial intelligence in classroom teaching holds significant promise for transforming education. By providing personalized learning experiences, streamlining assessment processes, and supporting educators, AI has the potential to enhance learning outcomes and make education more accessible. However, it is essential to address the challenges of equity, privacy, and resistance to ensure that the benefits of AI are realized by all students. As we move forward, the collaboration between educators and AI will be crucial in shaping the future of education.
