Technology In Higher Education

Following the lead of geographer, David Harvey (2008), this chapter argues that many contemporary trends in the use of technology in higher education prevent the development of capacities for critical democratic citizenship. Too often, technology is deployed in a top-down fashion to shape student learning. Thus, to enhance the full emergence of students as active, engaged, critical citizens, it is crucial that they be granted access to the right to technology in education.

Technology In Higher Education

Purpose The higher education, universities and institutions across the world have increasingly adopted information and communication technology (ICT) as a tool for curriculum development, learning and teaching, and for administrative activities. The use of technology to facilitate learning is gaining acceptance across various educational institutions. In order to use technology in the best possible manner, it becomes essential that the teacher should be willing to accept the technology and use it for the teaching activities. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to understand the teachers’ motivation toward adopting technology in the higher education. Design/methodology/approach An exploratory-descriptive approach is used in this research. The sampling frame for the study is the teachers employed in the management institutes in Bengaluru, Pune, Indore and Delhi. A simple random sampling technique is used for identifying the sample for the study. A self-administered questionnaire was employed to measure the validity of items measuring the teacher’s intention to use technology. Findings The results of the study confirm a significant positive impact of value beliefs (VB), social influence (SI) and perceived ease of use (PEOU) on the behavioral intention (BI) to use technology by the teachers. However, the study does not establish the relationship between self-efficacy and BI to use technology by teachers. Practical implications The use of technology will be an important area in the field of higher education where it becomes crucial to understand the motivation factors that lead to the adoption of ICT in the classroom and the curriculum. In order to successfully integrate technology into the teaching-learning process, it is concluded that the factors that positively influence the BI to use technology include the VB, PEOU and the SI. Originality/value This study contributes toward the study of teachers’ motivation in the adoption of technology in higher education in India.

Technology In Higher Education

Technology has played a significant role in changing the face of higher education. In order to successfully use technology, institutions of higher education must recognize that students play a central role in their decision making regarding the application of technology for the purpose of communication, and learning. This chapter addresses several issue related to the student issues and the use of technology in higher education. The notion of a particular type of student (i.e. “digital native”) is examined, as well as the current skills and use of technology by college students. The chapter continues on to discuss the concepts of digital recreation, digital communication, and their related issues to instruction in University settings. Finally the chapter explores the need for universities to examine diversity issues when integrating technology. The chapter concludes by recommending a tailoring perspective to technology integration that utilizes a decentralized approach to helping faculty integrate technology.

Smartphone is a wireless having progressed working framework which can be performed like a typical PC. The motivation behind examination is to inspect the behavior factors that impact the administration students to acknowledge Smartphone for learning in partnered colleges of Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) in Pune. In this examination, we inspect the determinates of UTAUT model, for example, Performance Expectancy (PE), Effort Expectancy(EE), Social Influence (SI) and Facilitating Condition (FC) concerning use of Smartphone by the students of Management of (SPPU). The examination is done utilizing polls disseminated to 770 students. The estimating instrument comprised of 15 things. Thing react depended on a 5-point Likert-type scale. The Cronbach's alpha of the survey was 0.980, showing its high inner consistency. Results of logistic regression revealed that the significant items were Facilitating Condition (FC) followed by Performance Expectancy (PE), Social Influence (SI) and Effort Expectancy (EE).
