Then, teaching and learning are delivered by an online method through information and communication technology. Some issues have emerged, especially on delivering materials and the minimum requirements of online learning. The study aims to review learning methodologies and the role of information and communication technology for future learning. Heutagogy and Computational Thinking have been selected as the learning methodology for approaching digital native generation. It is no doubt that the significant role in undertaking online education is information and communication technology. Therefore, we suggested some tools to enhance learning systems, such as gamification learning, virtual labs, and social media. We also discussed new learning media using information and communication technology in education.

The Impact

Teaching in general and language teaching in particular has enormously changed through time. Language teaching, throughout the twentieth century, experienced massive changes and innovations to become more dynamic, active, and interactive. Language teaching in the twentieth century has witnessed diverse theories and trends which shaped language teaching based on needs, context, practicality, and availability of resources. Meanwhile, there has been the addition of information and communication technology (ICT) to the theories and methodologies mentioned. The Internet, in particular, is becoming an increasingly vital tool in our information society. In this research, which is a quasi-experimental study, we studied the effects of ICT on a sample of 55 EFL college students. The findings show that ICT enhances language learning experience and can act as an effective tool both for teaching and learning. The author hopes the current study makes its way into the education system both in high schools and universities and can persuade the teachers to integrate ICT and teaching.

The Impact

Information and communication technology (ICT) in education has been widely used in many schools and learning institutions all over the world. However, the use of ICT in the Muslim world to improve the teaching and learning process is still limited. Indonesia as the most populace Muslim community in the world for instance, still does not have sufficient computer or Internet access in most of learning centers. This poses many challenges particularly in education. Young Muslims nowadays are caught between modernity and tradition. ICT can lead a Muslim to an ambiguous modern lifestyle and at the same time prying integrity of their identity. In some ways, Muslim youngsters are adopting technology with the aim to distance themselves from older people and traditional practices. On the other hand, there are some who challenge Western models. How should ICT education develop within an increasingly digital technological world? This article mainly highlights salient issues of ICT education in the Muslim world and the challenges of Muslim identity in the Internet era. It also examines the impact of digital technology on education for Muslim students and synthesizes ICT education from the Islamic point of view. Finally, some recommendations are appraised accordingly.

Abstrak:Kemampuan guru dalam memanfaatkan teknologi informasi dan komunikasi (TIK) untuk pembelajaran merupakan sebuah tuntutan Undang-Undang. Oleh karena itu, pemerintah telah melakukan berbagai upaya dengan memberikan pelatihan agar para guru dapat meningkatkan kompetensinya di bidang tersebut. Pelatihan yang selama ini dilaksanakan lebih banyak memperhatikan guru-guru yang bertugas mengajar di dalam negeri, sementara karena berbagai hal para guru yang bertugas mengajar di luar negeri kurang memperoleh perhatian. Berdasarkan pertimbangan tersebut, Pustekkom Kemdikbud mencoba memulai memberikan pelatihan bagi guru-guru yang mengajar sekolah di Indonesia di luar negeri, dalam hal ini di Bangkok Thailand. Permasalahannya apakah para guru yang mengajar di sekolah di Indonesia di luar negeri ini merasa memperoleh manfaat dari kegiatan pelatihan yang diberikan Pustekkom tersebut. Penelitian bertujuan untuk memperoleh informasi tentang dampak dari pelatihan pemanfaatan TIK untuk pembelajaran bagi guru-guru sekolah Indonesia di kota Bangkok-Thailand. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui angket dan diskusi terfokus. Analisis data dilaksanakan secara deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa seluruh guru yang dilatih menyatakan memperoleh manfaat dari hasil pelatihan yang mereka ikuti. Manfaat yang mereka rasakan antara lain mereka menjadi lebih yakin akan potensi yang dimiliki TIK, sehingga mereka termotivasi untuk memanfaatkan TIK di dalam kegiatan pembelajaran yang mereka laksanakan. Bahkan seseuai dengan keterampilan yang telah mereka miliki, mereka bersedia untuk membuat sendiri bahan pembelajaran yang mereka ajarkan dalam bentuk media yang berbasis TIK. Berdasarkan temuan ini disarankan agar pelatihan ini diteruskan sampai seluruh guru yang mengajar sekolah-sekolah Indonesia di luar negeri memiliki kompetensi di bidang pemanfaatan TIK untuk pembelajaran.Kata Kunci: Teknologi informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK), TIK untuk pembelajaran, Pelatihan PeTIK, Guru di sekolah Indonesia di luar negeri.Abstract: The ability of teachers in utilizing information and communication technology (ICT) for learning is by constitution, an obligation to fulfil. Therefore, the Indonesian government has made tremendous effort to provide training for teachers to improve their competence in utilizing ICT for learning. So far, the ongoing training only focuses more on teachers teaching in Indonesia while unfortunately, teachers teaching abroad have not had the equal focus and attention as teachers teaching in Indonesia. Responding to this condition, Pustekkom Kemdikbud had tried to start providing training for teachers teaching in Indonesian schools abroad, which in this case is in Bangkok Thailand. What seems to be the problem is that whether teachers who taught Indonesian school in Bangkok Thailand were to benefit from the training provided by Pustekkom. This study aims to obtain information about the impact of teacher training for Indonesian school teacher teaching abroad (in Bangkok, Thailand) on utilizing ICT for learning. Data collected through questionnaires and focus group discussions. Data analysis was carried out descriptively. The results showed that all trained teachers confirm to benefit from training that they underwent. Among the benefits are becoming confident in utilizing the potential of ICT in a way that they have felt increased motivation to utilize ICT in their learning activities. Furthermore, along with their improved motivation and skills, they feel confident to make their own teaching and learning materials in the form of ICT-based media. Based on these findings, it is recommended that this training should be sustained to all Indonesian school teachers teaching abroad until they can all improve their competence in utilizing ICT for learning.Keywords: Information and Communication Technology (ICT), ICT for learning, Teachers Training on ICT for Education, Teachers of Indonesian School in Abroad.

This paper studies whether and how information and communication technology (ICT) changes self-construal and cultural values in a developing country. Ethiopian children were given laptops in the context of an ICT for development scheme. We compared children who used laptops (n = 69) with a control group without laptops (n = 76) and a second control group of children whose laptop had broken down (n = 24). Results confirmed that after 1 year of laptop usage, the children’s self-concept had become more independent and children endorsed individualist values more strongly. Interestingly, the impact of laptop usage on cultural values was mediated by self-construal (moderated mediation). Importantly, modernization did not “crowd out” traditional culture: ICT usage was not associated with a reduction in traditional expressions (interdependent self-construal, collectivist values). Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
