Abstract
The importance of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the
education system has been steadily increasing in recent years. Extensive
research has been conducted to examine the use of ICT in Teaching-Learning (T-L)
process, particularly in Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET).
This study specifically focuses on assessing the attitudes and challenges faced
by female teachers in public polytechnic institutions in Bangladesh when it
comes to integrating ICT in the T-L process. The study involved surveying 82
female public polytechnic teachers from four different institutions in
Bangladesh: Dhaka Mohila Polytechnic Institute, Chittagong Mohila Polytechnic
Institute, Khulna Mohila Polytechnic Institute and Rajshahi Mohila Polytechnic
Institute. Data was collected using quantitative approach through a survey
questionnaire. The analysis was conducted using SPSS software 27.0, employing
various statistical methods such as frequency distribution, percentage, weighted
average, Chi-square, mean, standard deviation, standard error. The study
revealed a generally positive attitude towards the integration of ICT among
teachers in public women polytechnic institutes. However, it also identified
significant challenges, including teachers’ discomfort in utilizing ICT tools
to teach engineering subjects to large classroom sizes and a lack of
administrative support in implementing ICT in the T-L process. The study
recommends addressing these challenges through targeted interventions such as
professional development programs and institutional policy reforms. By
effectively integrating ICT in T-L processes, the quality of education can be
enhanced, better preparing students for the digital age.
