Impact of a One-Off Demonstration on the Use of ICT in the Teaching of Andragogy Students on Their Change of Attitude Towards the Use of ICT in Education

Abstract

The research study deals with the issue of attitudes towards the use of ICT in the education of andragogy students. As a method of research, we chose a three-year experiment. The study first surveyed 224 students in andragogical fields – future educators - in order to discover input factors like identifying their relationship to ICT, skills, experience in the field of ICT and frequency of the use of ICT at work. The study further examines four separate variables, representing three dimensions of attitudes (cognitive, conative and emotional) towards the use of ICT in education – the conviction to use ICT in their teaching, the opinion on the impact of the use of ICT on the understanding of curriculum, the opinion on the impact of the use of ICT in teaching and education itself and the tendency to act to recommend the use of ICT in teaching to their colleagues. In the university teaching of students itself, using the didactic method of AIDA on a mathematical problem, the experimental group is the subject of a demonstration of the use of ICT in empirical verification of the results of the task, as opposed to a control group that does not use ICT in teaching. Specifically, the representation of results in MS Excel and the empirical verification of results in a Python-created program are used. The research aims to determine the impact of the demonstration of a one-off use of ICT in teaching on the change of dimensions of attitude towards the use of ICT in education represented by separated variables. Their rate is measured by a 10-point bipolar scale. The results show p value (p<0.05), which provides evidence that a one-off demonstration of the use of ICT in the teaching of andragogy students is a factor that statistically significantly influences these dimensions of attitude towards the use of ICT in education and thus its overall change, regardless of the gender of the students. The three-year research study confirmed these results in an aggregated experimental group of 112 respondents who were compared with the same aggregated control group.

Potential Implementation of Android-Based Interactive Multimedia for Student Learning Activities

“…However, in its utilization, it still tends to be separate and not integrated with one another, this indicates that ICT has not been optimally utilized for the learning process considering that currently there are many learning media formats that are more interactive, innovative and flexible to use. Considering the benefits and positive impacts, the results of optimal use of ICT to manage the learning process will also come, where students will be more motivated to learn, so that students' independence will increase to study wherever and whenever (Hakim, 2021;Kursch, 2021). One technology that can facilitate learning activities without being limited by space and time is a smartphone, especially one that uses the Android operating system (Sari et al, 2019;Haryanti et al, 2021).…”

The Urgency of Prototype Curriculum Based E-Book for Mathematics Learning for Vocational School Students

“…Looking at the two data sources that have been collected, it can be seen that an ICT-based teaching material in e-book format has not yet been developed, and the use of a learning approach that tends to be one-way, such as the use of the lecture method. Whereas in the era of the development of technology and information as it is today, the presence of learning resources and ICT-based learning materials seems to be an obligation for educational institutions (Kursch, 2021;Nasrulloh & Ismail, 2018). This of course cannot be separated from the benefits provided when in learning activities, ICT plays an important role in improving various competencies and student learning outcomes (Azmi & Widiaty, 2021;Har et al, 2019).…”

Augmenting Seasoned English Language Teachers’ ICT Skills through a Service-Learning Activity-based TPACK

“…Many schools have started to employ ICT to teach, manage, and enhance students' digital literacy. Considering that ICT in education is extensive, the roles in education must not only focus on information dissemination and a tool for understanding the curriculum (Kursch, 2021). These must be connected to various teaching methods in application to existing philosophies (Siemens, 2005).…”
