ICT Integration in International Schools: Experiences and Practices of Teachers

Abstract

International schools are often pioneers in integrating technology into education, recognising the transformative potential of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in enhancing teaching and learning processes. This paper aims to share best practices observed among teachers in these schools regarding ICT integration in classrooms. The study—a qualitative investigation—involved online questionnaires and interviews with teachers from international schools in India. Conducted during the pandemic, when schools predominantly operated online, the research focused on understanding teachers’ experiences with ICT tools and their implementation. A key theme emerging from the interviews was the integration of ICT in teaching, underscoring its necessity during this period. The paper discusses the experiences and practices of teachers, highlighting the benefits and challenges of integrating ICT into the educational framework. Through this exploration, the study provides insights into how ICT has been utilised to support and enhance teaching, as well as the obstacles faced in its effective integration.
