In-Service Teachers’ Extent Of Exposure And Level Of Skills On The Use Of Technology: An Exploratory Study

Abstract

Students are better prepared to participate in the global economy when technology is integrated into academic curricula. They are also more prepared to give solutions to problems in their local, national, and international communities, among other benefits. This study was created with the goal of determining the level of preparedness of in-service teachers in terms of adopting technology into their classes. The participants were in-service teachers. The sequential explanatory mixed method research design was used in this investigation. This methodology was appropriate because the study assessed the extent to which in-service teachers had been exposed to technology and their level of proficiency in its use. As a result of their high degree of exposure to technology at home, participants demonstrate a comprehensive understanding and familiarity with the technologies, particularly in terms of their knowledge and understanding of the specific functions and characteristics of the various media types. This conclusion suggests that participants have a general awareness of how to use software tools in the classroom, which is consistent with previous findings. Consequently, they use digital tools to generate reports, compute grades, and create instructional materials, which allows them to present lessons and assess students more efficiently.
