Impact of Information Communication Technology and Faculty Readiness on Teaching Effectiveness

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the impact of Information communication technology (ICT) and faculty readiness on teaching effectiveness in universities, particularly in the Kingdom of Bahrain. This study collected data from 181 participants using a convenient online sampling technique. Researchers gathered participants who fulfilled the inclusion criteria for the study through an online platform. The collected data were then analysed using SPSS and SmartPLS4. The results revealed a significant positive effect of ICT and faculty readiness on teaching effectiveness. The study underscores the significance of both faculty readiness and ICT integration in promoting teaching effectiveness. Educational Universities should prioritize efforts to enhance faculty readiness by providing professional development opportunities and support. Additionally, investment in ICT infrastructure and the effective integration of ICT tools can contribute to improved teaching outcomes. Hence, the study is helpful to policymakers, stakeholders, researchers, and society in general to re-evaluate and strengthen teaching effectiveness.
