Assessing ICT as a Catalyst for Evidence-Based Decision Making: A Theoretical Literature Review
Abstract:
This theoretical literature review examines the pivotal role of Information Communication Technology (ICT) as a driving force in evidence-based decision-making within educational administration. It highlights ICT's transformative potential to enhance teaching methodologies, streamline administrative operations, and foster data-driven cultures. By analyzing scholarly sources, the paper underscores the significance of ICT competence among education administrators, which encompasses the technical and analytical skills needed to interpret complex data sets and implement effective strategies. Furthermore, it emphasizes how ICT facilitates access to real-time data, promotes transparency, and improves student outcomes through personalized instruction. The review identifies critical factors influencing ICT integration and its effectiveness, including infrastructure, user capacity, and organizational culture. The paper concludes with recommendations for strengthening ICT's role in enhancing Evidence-Based Decision-Making (EBDM) in education.References:
