Enhancing Teacher-Student Relationship Through Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Integration

Abstract

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) presents considerable potential in influencing pedagogical approaches and enhancing scholastic achievements, particularly within the Generation Z cohort. Nevertheless, notwithstanding its advantages, numerous senior academic staff members face obstacles when endeavouring to seamlessly incorporate ICT into their instructional methodologies. This research delves into these impediments and posits resolutions to bolster teacher-student relationships (TSR) via pioneering educational strategies such as ICT amalgamation. It delves into the significance of teacher-student relationships in nurturing an enabling learning milieu and scrutinises the ramifications of ICT on educational methodologies. The investigation adopts a quantitative methodology to delve into the teacher-student rapport and educators’ proficiency in ICT. The results elucidate the import of TSR in stimulating student drive and educational outcomes, as well as the necessity of all-encompassing training schemes for educators to proficiently harness ICT resources. The exploration furnishes perspectives on surmounting hindrances to ICT amalgamation and proffers suggestions for augmenting academic accomplishments through inventive pedagogical approaches.
