Abstract

 


Focusing on the assertion that the introduction of information and communication technology in higher education has become a major concern for many educators in developing countries, this study looked at faculty attitudes, computer skills, higher education technologies and developed a training program Responses from one hundred and sixty-three respondents in three selected higher education institutions were collected using a mixed-method approach. The results show that faculty attitudes are optimistic in terms of excitement and competence, while anxieties about the use of technology show a positive attitude that gives rise to phases of adoption in classroom teaching. A list of faculty computer skills results in a high level of competence that demonstrates that the use of technology and training resources will improve the quality of higher education. The level of knowledge of education technology shows the value of curricula and curriculum design, while the importance of ICT in HEIs points to the importance of advanced teaching – classroom learning. The results of the study also indicate that there is no association between the level of importance of ICT in higher education and the form of higher education institutions, nor is there a significant age difference between faculty attitudes and computer skills. There is also no important link between faculty attitudes and computer skills in terms of teaching experience. Further research on ICT integration, such as the characteristics and cultural understanding of HEIs, should be investigated in order to provide a firmer basis for the in-service training program of faculty members.
