Abstract
Information communication technology (ICT) is an increasingly significant tool in all
fields of education. It is frequently stated that a qualified and competent teacher,
regardless of his priorities in teaching subject must be able to use ICT for the benefit
of his personal and professional development. Review of related literature reported
that limited competence and less use of ICT from the teachers side or the student side
can become a threat to effective and quality education by minimizing or eliminating
the expected added value of ICT in learning. The present study aims to assess current
use of ICT tools of teacher educators and prospective teachers in education department
of Lahore College for women University Lahore, Pakistan. A questionnaire was
designed, aiming to assess current use of ICTs in classroom. The questionnaire was
distributed to all teaching faculty of education department and to a cohort of final year
MS students (2013).Current use of ICT tools by the teachers in education department
were measured through ICT use Scale (ICTS) in the both groups. A total of 20
questionnaires were collected from the educators’ group and 30 from the prospective
teachers. The results from this study indicate that education department of Lahore
college for women university has lack of ICT tools but teachers and prospective
teachers both have great inclination for use during their teaching learning process.
