Impact of Information and Communication Technology on Students’ Academic Performance
Najeem Olawale Adelakun
Information and Communication Technology is one of the foremost technologies among the emerging technologies that play an important role in every sphere of human endeavour. It has witnessed a massive transformation over the years which makes teaching and learning easier and more enjoyable, and has changed the ways people live, learn, work, and play. Consequently, the internet has been a vital tool to the present information society, and a world without the internet is unimaginable (Adelakun et al., 2020). This study aims to investigate the impact of information and communication technology on students’ learning engagement and academic performance. According to UNESCO, Information and communication technology (ICT) is defined as a technological and engineering discipline that uses scientific and management techniques in information handling (Ratheeswari, 2018). Hence, it uses different technologies to capture, communicate, collect, analyse, store and distribute the information needed to perform a specific task faster (Bobillier Chaumon et al., 2014; Pedagoo, 2020). It is imperative to note that the outbreak of the Covid-19 Pandemic forced several higher institutions of learning in developing countries to adopt digital technology for the learning process (Adelakun & Omolola, 2020).

Adelakun et al., (2022) studied the benefits, challenges and prospects of Electronic Learning System using two research processes administered to students and lecturers, and the findings of their study show that information technology will improve performance and lead to greater

WHAT IS ICT AND ITS USES?

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)
Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) is a broader term for Information Technology (IT), which refers to all communication technologies, including the internet, wireless networks, cell phones, computers, software, middleware, video-conferencing, social networking, and other media applications and services enabling users to access, retrieve, store, transmit, and manipulate information in a digital form.

ICTs are also used to refer to the convergence of media technology such as audio-visual and telephone networks with computer networks, by means of a unified system of cabling (including signal distribution and management) or link system. However, there is no universally accepted definition of ICTs considering that the concepts, methods and tools involved in ICTs are steadily evolving on an almost daily basis.

To define professional skill levels for its ICT professional education products, the IEEE Computer Society has adopted, for example, the Skills Framework for the Information Age (SFIA). The value of ICT strategies as a means of bridging the digital divide and as a powerful tool for economic and social development around the world should not be underestimated in agricultural and related sectors. Improving extension of ICT services to farmers would effectively improve the transmission of global open data for agriculture and nutrition for development of sensible solutions addressing food security, nutrition and sustainable agriculture issues.

By using ICTs, there have already “been diverse types of innovations taking place in the agriculture sector, which include commodity and stock market price information and analysis, meteorological data collection, advisory services to farmers for agricultural extension, early warning systems for disaster prevention and control, financial services, traceability of agricultural products, agricultural statistical data gathering,

Advantages of ICT: 20 Great Benefits Of ICT For Schools - Studynlearn

Information Communications Technology (ICT) is an acronym for information and communication technology. In this blog, we are going to learn the various advantages of ICT.

However, aside from defining an acronym, there is no commonly acknowledged definition of information and communication technology. Why? Because ICT concepts, methods, and applications are constantly growing on a near-daily basis, it's challenging to stay up.

Consider all uses of digital technology that exist to help individuals, businesses, and organisations use information while thinking about ICT. ICT refers to any device that can store, retrieve, alter, transmit, or receive data in a digital format. Personal computers, digital television, email, and robots are just a few examples.

What is ICT?

To communicate, generate, communicate, save, and manage information, schools use a variety of ICT tools. In some cases, ICT has become an integral part of the teaching-learning interaction, as evidenced by strategies such as replacing chalkboards with interactive digital whiteboards, and using students' own smartphones or other devices for learning during class time.

These approaches can lead to higher order thinking skills, provide creative and individualised options for students to express their understandings, and leave students better prepared to deal with ongoing technological change in society and the workplace.

ICT aims to bridge the gap between parents, educators, and students by encouraging sustainable, cooperative, and transparent communication methods. It also provides enhanced information-exchange mechanisms for educational institutions such as schools and other educational institutes.

As a result, it is extremely important in education, particularly in terms of institution administration and management. ICT has developed to the point that it is now an integrated part of the ed

The Importance of Technology in Philippine Education

The education system has undergone a paradigm shift from where it used to stand years ago. In the olden days, students had to go to the library and open big books to find the information they needed.

Connecting our communities

ICT can connect communities in a number of ways. For example, online forums and social media platforms can be used to connect people with shared interests, regardless of their location. ICT can also be used to deliver educational and training programs to people in remote areas. This can help to bridge the digital divide and improve the quality of life for people in these areas.

Enrichment

ICT can also enrich lives in a number of ways. For example, online gaming and entertainment platforms can provide people with a way to relax and unwind. ICT can also be used to access educational and training programs, which can help people to develop new skills and improve their job prospects.
