Hye everyone, today I would like to share with you guys about issues in current technology among lecturers. Despite increasingly widespread adoption of technologies in virtually every aspect education, significant challenges are preventing widespread effective implementation.
1) Professional development
Key among all challenges is the lack of adequate, ongoing professional development for teachers who are required to integrate new technologies into their classrooms yet who are unprepared or unable to understand new technologies.
2) Resistance to change
Resistance to technology comes in many forms, but one of the key resistance challenges identified in the report is "comfort with the status quo." According to the researchers, teachers and school leaders often see technological experimentation as outside the scope of their job descriptions.
3) Failure to use technology to deliver effective formative assessments
Assessment is an important driver for educational practice and change, and over the last years, a welcome rise in the use of formative assessment in educational practice. However, there is still an assessment gap in how changes in curricula and new skill demands are implemented in education; schools do not always make necessary adjustments in assessment practices as a consequence of these changes. Simple applications of digital media tools, like webcams that allow non-disruptive peer observation, offer considerable promise in giving teachers timely feedback they can use.
