Abstract:
While twentieth century is called ‗knowledge era‘, the society of this era is called
‗knowledge society‘. The slogan of this era is to generate knowledge and preserve it. Teachers play a
responsible role by taking the initiative. While engaging themselves in teaching, they have also to find
out the means through which they can help their students to learn new relevant and technologically
necessary skills that will ensure their survival. Teachers have to learn in order to help the students
engage in self-learning. That is, slogans like ‗learn to live‘ and ‗learn to learn‘ have become prominent.
Today, a slogan like ‗quality education depends on quality teacher‘ is also gaining ground. Quality
teacher presupposes development of professionalism. Teachers without the knowledge of computer
skills face the peril of being ignored by students and parents. Teachers who can cope and keep
improving themselves with knowledge, potential and interest in proportion to those of the students will
successfully last in their profession. Today the growth of the role of information and communication
technology is immense. Students too realize this. They prefer modernized teaching methods. They
show their interest and liking in the teaching that employs information and communication technology.
Achievement too increases. Many schools have succeeded in it. However the use of information and
communication technology seems to be less in teaching. The achievement is not up to the expected
level. This study therefore undertakes to find out the obstacles, to propose solutions and
recommendations, to explain the methods to increase teachers‘ efficiency in learning and teaching and
to prove that the achievement can be improved by increasing the learning and teaching activity.
