ICT and Management for Effective Teaching Practices

A Comprehensive Textbook for Teacher Education Programmes

The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has transformed the landscape of modern education. From digital classrooms and online learning platforms to Artificial Intelligence and technology-supported assessment, teachers today need a strong understanding of both educational technology and its effective management.

ICT and Management for Effective Teaching Practices is a comprehensive academic textbook designed to develop an understanding of ICT applications in contemporary teaching, learning, assessment and educational management. It connects theoretical foundations with practical applications, helping prospective teachers and teacher educators understand how technology can be integrated meaningfully into educational settings.

The book begins with the foundations of ICT in education and explores the teaching-learning process, learning theories, microteaching, teaching models and instructional design. It examines important frameworks such as ADDIE, ASSURE, Dick and Carey, TPACK and the Technology Integration Matrix (TIM), providing a structured understanding of technology-supported teaching practices.

A significant part of the book focuses on emerging technologies in education, including Artificial Intelligence, Generative AI, Machine Learning, Intelligent Tutoring Systems, Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), Mixed Reality, Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing and learning analytics. It also discusses e-learning, MOOCs, Open Educational Resources (OER), blended learning, flipped classrooms and collaborative learning.

The book further introduces practical ICT tools and platforms such as GeoGebra, PhET, Turtle Art, Google Classroom, Padlet and Prezi. Dedicated discussions on digital assessment, e-portfolios, rubrics, online quizzes, feedback tools and learning analytics help readers understand the role of technology in evaluating and improving student learning.

Importantly, the book addresses the ethical, legal and social dimensions of technology integration, including digital citizenship, cybersecurity, privacy, data protection, accessibility, inclusion, academic integrity and responsible AI use.

With its combination of conceptual discussions, practical applications, learning activities, chapter summaries and review questions, this textbook serves as a useful academic resource for teacher education students, prospective teachers, teacher educators and those interested in educational technology.
