The Paradigm Role of ICT for Behavioral and Educational Psychology: The Case of Developing Countries

Abstract

Abstract-The purpose of this paper is to investigate the paradigm role of ICT for education as the case of learners and educator's behavioral and educational psychology's perspectives. I.e., ICT based education is an essential for new emerging information and then after knowledge societies, facilitating large-scale learning needs for social and economic development. The paper focused on ICT's applications and roles in education and the ICT's based learning process, competency, efficient use of a resource, developing innovative and novel ideas … that could change and advance the learning environment and teaching practices. Since, evolution of the information society entails dramatic changes in production and business activities, as well as in a larger social context as digitized information or electronic networks, and also to understand in the broader context where bits, networks and knowledge have a social meaning. In general, the use of ICT in developing countries has many problems, and in this paper, we investigated some generic and pertinent issues on their educational systems and ICT involvements, which have aimed strongly at supporting the implementation of ICT in pedagogical practices at all institutional levels.Index Terms-Behavioral psychology, education, ICT, learning process, modern system. I. INTRODUCTIONInformation Communication Technology (ICT) could be termed as educational technology in education industry. Semantically, it is the study and also ethical practice of facilitating, learning and improving performance by creating, using and managing appropriate technological processes and resources. Therefore, ICT for behavioral and educational psychology is simply referred to the use of modern technology, such as computers, digital technology, networked digital devices and associated software and courseware with learning scenarios, worksheets and Educational technology is an engine for development; resources use optimization and facilities, access and safety, and also future educational strategic plan. Thus, it is vitally important to learners and/or educators anytime and anywhere, business and other settings. The technology encompasses both educational and developmental material objects, such as machines and networking hardware, as well as theories such as instructional theory and learning facilities. ICT for education is an integral part of societies" everyday life, which refers to an array of tools and the principles for their effective application in learning process and facilities [3]. ICT for behavioral and educational psychology is therefore, methodologies and techniques, and skills assessment for learners and educators in their learning provider institutions towards its impacts. ICT as the paradigm of educational and behavioral psychology is a dynamic and multi-factor aspect, including, Internet-based learning and instructional and learning theory, media perception and human social interactions, fields of study that apply human behavior to educational technology [4], [5].However, there is a dis...

The impact of ICT on Financial Sector Policy Reforms in Post-Financial crisis era in Ghana:

“…One notable initiative is that the diffusion of ICTs into low-income in most countries in Africa and communities, has played a very important role in development, of which Ghana is no exception. Several developing countries such as Uganda, Ethiopia, Kenya and many other African and Asian developing countries have also started to place considerable emphasis on the importance and availability of ICT for education and other sectors (Gebremeskel, 2016). The importance of ICT in business is also finding its way into areas such as education, economic and socio-cultural developments with the belief that knowledge is the driving force for technology development.…”

“…The importance of ICT in business is also finding its way into areas such as education, economic and socio-cultural developments with the belief that knowledge is the driving force for technology development. He further retreats tat governments of these countries are taking keen interest to endorse diverse ICT policies in the (Gebremeskel, 2016). There is weak and ambiguous empirical evidence on the contribution of ICT investments to economic growth for low-income, emerging, and, in particular, developing countries (Niebel, 2018).…”

“…It is clear that in the coming decades information and communication technologies (ICT) will affect and reshape reshape the future patterns both of practice and of professional developemnt, in a manner which ensures that it makes a major, positive contribution to improve in the quality and performance of institutions. According to Gebremeskel et al (2016), many countries such as, China, South Korea and Singapore, have developed at a fast rate with the help of ICT (ITU, 2016).…”

Validation of Learning Theories in Their Relationship with Information and Communications Technology

“…Behaviorism Theory and Its Relation to ICTs Behaviorism in its relationship with ICT has been studied by: i) Psychological approaches which see it as learning scenarios supported by worksheets and exercises that serve to learn (Gebremeskel, Kebede, & Chai, 2016) ii) For educators teaching strategy where applying game theory emphasizes measures to stimulate response (Paraskeva, Mysirlaki, & Papagianni, 2010). iii) Education, considering the level of tools that define eLearning as a mixture of several educational trends of which is behaviorism (Evgeniou & Loizou, 2012), or by analyzing ICT with a focus ranging from objectivism related the computer instruction to social constructivism (Nawaz & Kundi, 2010).…”
