Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the transformative impact of pedagogical and ICT (Information and Communication Technology) training on teachers' approaches to online teaching and digital tool utilization. It begins by highlighting the critical importance of pedagogical training in fostering effective instructional practices and the significance of ICT training in empowering educators to leverage technology for enhanced learning experiences. Through an exploration of theoretical frameworks such as constructivism and connectivism, the paper emphasizes the integration of pedagogical and technological perspectives to optimize online teaching practices.
The study examines how pedagogical training influences teachers' instructional approaches, including learner-centered strategies, collaborative learning activities, and formative assessment practices. It analyzes how ICT training impacts teachers' utilization of digital tools for content delivery, interaction, assessment, and feedback in online teaching.
the paper presents case studies showcasing real-world examples of the impact of comprehensive training initiatives on teachers' pedagogical practices and digital tool integration. These case studies demonstrate the transformative potential of pedagogical and ICT training in enhancing student engagement, fostering collaboration, and promoting active learning in online environments. The paper underscores the importance of ongoing professional development, collaboration among educators, and alignment of training initiatives with educational goals and priorities. It advocates for investment in pedagogical and ICT training initiatives to empower educators with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to effectively navigate online teaching environments and create engaging and meaningful learning experiences for students in the digital age.
