The Impact

Abstrak:Teknologi informasi dan komunikasi (TIK) memberikan kontribusi yang positif terhadap peningkatan hasil belajar peserta didik. Tidak ada yang mempermasalahkan pernyataan ini apabila TIK memang dimanfaatkan secara terencana, terpadu, dan teratur di dalam kegiatan pembelajaran. Sekalipun demikian, hasil penelitian atau kajian tentang pemanfaatan TIK hanya menitikberatkan pada pengaruh/dampak terhadap hasil prestasi belajar peserta didik; tetapi kurang menekankan pada tantangan-tantangan atau kesulitan-kesulitan guru dalam memanfaatkan TIK untuk pembelajaran. Dengan kata lain, apakah TIK di sekolah-sekolah sudah dimanfaatkan secara terencana, terintegrasi, dan teratur? Manakala jawabannya sudah, langkah-langkah apa yang telah dilakukan untuk memanfaatkan TIK di dalam kegiatan pembelajaran? Manakala jawabannya belum, faktor-faktor apa saja penyebabnya? Mengapa ada sebagian sekolah yang maju dalam pemanfaatan TIK-nya dan diikuti dengan peningkatan prestasi belajar peserta didiknya (TIK memberikan dampak positif)? Tentunya ada faktor-faktor tertentu, baik peluang, tantangan (kendala/hambatan),maupun harapan yang perlu diperhatikan manakala akan memanfaatkan TIK di dalam kegiatan pembelajaran. Masalah inilah yang menggugah penulis untuk melakukan kajian yang didasarkan pada berbagai referensi yang didukung hasil pengamatan dan diskusi terbatas dengan pendidik dan tenaga kependidikan. Tujuannya adalah untuk mengetahui berbagai peluang, tantangan, dan harapan di dalam pemanfaatan TIK untuk pembelajaran yang dapat dijadikan sebagai rujukan/acuan untuk memfasilitasi guru dalam melaksanakan kegiatan pembelajaran melalui pemanfaatan TIK.Kata-kata kunci: Teknologi informasi dan komunikasi (TIK), pembelajaran, prestasi belajarAbstract:Information and communication technology (ICT) gives positive contribution to the improvement of students learning achievement. No one will argue on this statement as long as ICT is appropriately utilized (well planned, integrated, and sustained) in the instructional activities. However, most research or studies on ICT utilization only focus more on the impact of students’ learning achievement and less on the challenges that teachers face in utilizing ICT in their teaching learning process. In other words, has ICT utilization in schools been well planned, integrated, and sustained? If the answer is “Yes”, what are the steps that have been taken to utilize ICT for learning? If the answer is “No”, what are the causes? Why are there some more developed schools in utilizing ICT and followed with improvement of their students’ learning achievement (ICT gives possitive impact)? It can be stated that there are some factors of opportunities, challenges, as well as hopes that need to be considered before or during utilizing ICT in teaching-learning process. This has attracted the author to conduct a study that is based on some references and supported by some observation and discussion with some teachers and educational personnels. The objective of this study is to know some opportunities, challenges, and hopes in ICT utilization for learning that can be used as references to facilitate teachers in utilizing ICT in their teaching-learning process.Keywords: Information and Communication Technology (ICT), learning, learning achievement

Even though open and distance learning (ODL) using Information and Communication Technologies can be applied across disciplines and at various levels, this paper focuses on the supervision of PhD students studying through the Open and Distance Learning mode of education using Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). Taking into account the fact that higher education institutions are always striving to increase the quality of supervision and throughput of doctoral programmes, the study highlights how Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) can mitigate these challenges. The study was carried out in 10 Zimbabwean universities to evaluate the levels of preparedness of universities, supervisors and PhD students in using information and communication technology during their studies. Purposive sampling was used focusing on PhD students studying through ODL, local universities offering PhD programmes experienced, PhD supervisors, the Zimbabwe Council for Higher Education officials and officials from the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education, Science and Technology Development. Students, universities and supervisors were not fully prepared to do their work using ICTs due to various reasons. Some of the reasons given were that some universities did not have the required infrastructure and facilities in place. Some of the supervisors and students lacked basic computer skills and this affected the quality of supervision and slowness in giving feedback. The lack of internet availability and poor connectivity were also cited as challenges especially with the prevailing load shedding. The study recommends universities to invest in ICTs infrastructure since higher education transcends geographical boundaries.
