摘要：Pakistan, in the last 10 years, has witnessed a fast and deep penetration of computers, internet, and android cell phones in the everyday lives of the teachers.The education process has yet to enjoy the full benefits of this technology despite the implementation of 3g/4g technologies and a surge of android cell phones.Therefore, teachers being an integral and vital part of the education process need to be well aware of the importance and should be trained at incorporating ICT in their daily teaching processes.This survey-based descriptive study gauged the familiarity of High School Teachers with ICT and its level of incorporation in the teaching process at the secondary level.The population of this study was 617 (N=617) High School Teachers belonging to 61 secondary schools of the district.About 245 teachers who participated in this study were randomly selected from 24 secondary schools.A self-developed questionnaire was distributed to these teachers.All the questionnaires were filled and returned.About 8 of these questionnaires were incomplete and therefore were deemed unusable.Therefore, only 237 questionnaires were used for data analysis.The findings of this study indicated that only 15% of the participants knew about ICT and its uses in the teaching process.Internet browsing, e-mailing and operating a CD Rom device as well-known aspects and simulations, problem-solving software, and graphics were some of the ICT aspects which the participants appeared to be familiar with.Findings about the level of incorporation in the teaching process revealed that computer labs were available in about 15% of the schools; about 55% of the participants owned android cell phones; 45% had self-access to the internet and these android phones were mostly used for communication with other teachers and parents.About 2% used ICT for teaching specific subjects; out of the 2% that used ICT for teaching, only 0.5 % used it as an essential part of daily instruction.The results also show that 0.25% of participants were formally trained in ICT.ICT was mostly used for finding and accessing and downloading educational materials.Less frequently used of ICT included making lectures, drills, and practice, preparing lesson plans, and video lecturing.
