Exploring the Impact of Sustainable Practices on Educational Environments: A Comprehensive Review

The rapid expansion of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) has revolutionized students into digital learners, prompting educators to incorporate technology into their teaching methods. In this context, teachers' attitudes, technological expertise, and skills play a crucial role in ensuring effective integration. This study explores teachers' perspectives on technology integration in teaching and learning across all educational levels in India, drawing on recent research conducted in the past five years.The results indicate that teachers generally hold positive views on integrating technology into their teaching practices. They believe that incorporating technology enhances their instructional methods, making the learning experience more engaging and interactive, thus keeping students motivated. However, the study also identifies several obstacles, including slow internet speed, power outages, insufficient infrastructure, limited online teaching experience, and inadequate training, hindering effective ICT integration in teaching. In light of these findings, it is recommended that relevant authorities establish clear and effective policies to maximize ICT utilization. This includes allocating adequate budgets and ensuring essential facilities such as ICT infrastructure, tools, software, internet access, and laboratories in all educational institutions. Additionally, there should be a focus on providing opportunities for teachers' career development, specifically in acquiring technological competencies, to enable successful integration of ICT into their instructional practices.
