INCORPORATING INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY METHOD IN ICT CLASSES IN THE FIELD OF HIGHER EDUCATION

Abstract

The current investigation aims to explore the efficiency of educational technology in higher education ICT classes, emphasizing my personal stance on utilizing instructional technology in my ICT lessons. This is based on extensive research conducted by international scholars in this field. The study employs both quantitative and qualitative methods, utilizing analytical, descriptive, and applied techniques to gather data from higher education students. Data collection tools include a questionnaire, an information form, and a classroom observation checklist. The study was conducted at Uzbekistan State World Languages University with first-year students enrolled in the Faculty of Foreign Language and Literature. Results indicate that incorporating instructional technology in language teaching and learning promotes learner collaboration and participation in English language ICT classes, ultimately enhancing performance and competence. The study focuses on four key areas: the availability of instructional technologies in universities, the application of ICT in teaching and learning, teacher and student competence, perceived benefits of ICT use, and challenges encountered in implementing ICT in teaching.
