| Summary: | This contribution serves as a reflection on the significance of training
university teachers in utilizing Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs)
within the higher education classroom setting. It aims to explore the perceptions of
distance education among Algerian teacher trainers at the Teacher Training
University College of Bouzareah (ENSB) in Algeria and the evident shift towards
extensive use of ICTs in the teaching practices, particularly through the Moodle elearning platform. In this study, a quantitative approach was employed, involving
the distribution of a questionnaire to fifty (50) university teachers from five distinct
departments at ENSB. These teachers had recently undergone training in online
teaching using the Moodle platform. The results of the survey highlighted that a
majority of teachers encountered challenges in utilizing this platform. These
difficulties are due to a lack of initial training in ICT usage and the demanding
training schedule imposed by the Ministry of Higher Education across various
courses. The findings underscore the critical need for comprehensive and ongoing
training programs to equip university teachers with the necessary skills to effectively
integrate ICTs into their teaching practices. Addressing these challenges through
tailored training initiatives can enhance the adoption and utilization of technology enhanced learning tools like Moodle, ultimately improving the quality of education
delivery and student engagement. |
