Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between prospective teachers’ attitude towards ICT and its use for educational purposes among teacher education institutions of Gilgit-Baltistan. All final year prospective teachers (n= 236) of two teacher education colleges and a public sector university were the sample of this study. The researcher has adapted Test of e-Learning Related Attitude scale to measure attitude towards ICT. Whereas, Technology Level of Use scale was used to investigate prospective teachers’ use of ICT. Findings indicated that more than 90% prospective teachers show high positive attitude towards ICT. Findings further indicated a significant difference in prospective teachers’ attitude towards ICT by institution. However, no any significant difference was found among institutions regarding use of ICT. The study found weak positive correlations between use of ICT and attitude towards ICT; and program of studies and attitude towards ICT; gender and program of studies. However, attitude towards ICT was found to have inverse correlation with gender and type of institution. Similarly, inverse correlation was observed between use of ICT and gender and use of ICT and program of studies. This study will be an addition in the available literature from the context of Gilgit-Baltistan.
