| dc.description.abstract | ICT skills are currently of great interest to governments, businessmen and individuals. Consequently, ICTs have been increasingly integrated in educational systems to enhance and support teaching and learning. More importantly, it is expected that those who are ICT savvy stand the chances to be counted first for the emerging challenges and opportunities. Thus, the study entitled “Perceptions of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) among Undergraduate Agriculture Students of G.B. Pant University”. An exploratory research design was followed. Following stratified random sampling, 100 respondents (Undergraduate Agriculture Students) were selected. A pre-structured Questionnaire was distributed to the respondents. The findings indicated that 95 % students had positive perceptions about ICTs. Students used mostly Information Communication Technology such as mobile followed by computer, Internet and email for a variety of purposes but very few (33 %) reported that they used it for educational purpose. The study indicated an urgent need to strengthen the Information Communication Technology system in the University in terms of infrastructure, facilities, accessibility and connectivity. The ICT competency needs to be up-scaled through specialized courses included in curriculum to enhance skills of the students so that they can use information communication technologies more efficiently. | en_US |
