Availability and Effectiveness of Information Technology Infrastructure in RYK Secondary Schools

Abstract

This educational study determines the availability and effectiveness of IT (Information Technology) infrastructure in RYK Secondary Schools. In this article, challenges faced by teachers and students in the usage of IT will be discussed, as well as the use of IT infrastructure in education and its accessibility and efficacy in teaching and learning are addressed. This study will be beneficial for the teachers and higher authorities in understanding the availability of IT infrastructure in Secondary Schools. All the students (girls and boys) from the Public Secondary Schools of RYK were considered as the population. The descriptive survey design and random sampling technique were employed to accomplish the goal. A 50-item self-structured questionnaire based on a 5-point Likert scale was utilized to collect the data from a sample of study i.e. 500 male and female students. The collected data were analyzed by using SPSS with descriptive statistics (mean, percentage, and frequency value). The findings are intended to support the hypothesis that teachers and students face significant challenges in RYK Secondary Schools due to the lack of facilities. Therefore, it is necessary to work for improvement so that the students can learn in a better way. To conclude, using technology effectively in the teaching-learning process, improving the quality and accessibility of technology, and motivating the learning environment plays a vital role in education. As a result, with the use of IT, slow learners might also take an active role, and students’ attitudes can be positively affected, and learning can be enhanced.
