policy initiatives

Teachers’s identities pretty much affecting the significant of teacher’s perception in

technology education. The identities that can be deduced by the findings are teachers who
are comfortable with ICT are found to be regular users of ICT. These identities are very
much tied to factors such as age and technological competencies.

Some of the factors cited include teacher’s confidence in delivering smart pedagogy, their
competence in Smart Learning concepts, skills in facilitating and developing learner’s
critical and creative thinking and knowledge and skills in ICT use.

An implication of the study on student is that the appropriate uses of the platform can result
in enhanced student learning. Learner’s perceived usefulness of the platform implies
that such technology can be utilized in teaching and learning with appropriate pedagogical
strategies.

Technology is only a tool used in delivery of content. In order for meaningful

learning to take place, teachers still need to have content and pedagogical knowledge to
implement ICT-based lessons.
