Historical changes in communication technology substantially affect the education system. Today's youth is fully dependent on digital technology and social networks. Until recently, students learned linearly, rationally mastering curriculum by reading. Digital environments offer great opportunities for developing education. Apart from entertainment, students use the media for educational purposes as they can find a lot of teaching materials on the Internet. Teachers must be aware of these generational shifts in order to adjust the dynamics of teaching as new generations of students require a faster change in teaching methods and forms of work. This paper quotes the results of the research on attitudes teachers in Croatia have towards the use of digital aids in classroom teaching. High percentage of respondents believe that digital technology helps in motivating students to work and adopt content and improves the quality of teaching educational content. Teachers are aware of the importance of digitization in teaching and express a positive attitude towards the utility of technological aids in teaching.

The Effect of the Use of Technology on the nature of Teacher’s Profession

2018

Educational programmes have recognized the growing need to use computers in the classes as it presents unprecedented challenges that help the students to acquire an inquiring, critical and creative mind to capitalize on the opportunities driven by the growth of information, knowledge and technology. The computer knowledge has begun influencing student's learning experience for more than 25 years ago, but it was in a moderate manner (Cuban, 2001). However, the past decade has witnessed major trend toward integrating computer technology in all the language classes. The integration has increased because the computer technology represents an accessible and instant information, enormous potential for interactivity and media-rich communication, as well as educational tools which engage the students in the classroom (Mouza, 2002). Undoubtedly the recent advancement in information technology and computer usage in the classroom is rapidly transforming the environment of the classroom. The teachers cannot ignore the reality the today's classroom must provide technology-supported learning (Angers & Machtmes, 2005). Being prepared to integrate the technology in the classroom has become a paramount skill in every teacher's professional repertoires. The traditional role of the teacher as the center of the schooling is changing recently with all the introduction of the new technologies in the classroom. One of the effects of the new technologies is the decentralization of teachers in the learning environment (Damrian, 1998). This introduces a very valid point of how the teaching profession will change in the era of digital technologies. What is the role of the teacher in a classroom where he/she is no longer the only source of knowledge? How can he/ she teach effectively in a class, where every student has his/her computer and can Google any piece of information? The following study will investigate the effect of the implementation of the technology in the English as a foreign language (EFL) classes on the nature of the teachers' profession.

ATTITUDE OF TEACHERS TOWARDS TECHNO-PEDAGOGY

Teaching jobs are regarded as the noblest of all the professions in the world. The quality of education in any educational institute hinges on the availability of good teachers. " Technology won't replace teachers. But Teachers who use technology will probably replace Teachers who do not. " It is important to recognize that, the teachers are becoming more knowledgeable of Information and Communication Technology outcomes (ICTs), they continue to have knowledge or skill with which to integrate those technologies into their teaching. As the twenty-first century approaches, the literate citizen is increasingly expected to use computer technology to access and manipulate information. Knowing how to manage electronic information from an ever-widening array of resources and in proliferating formats is essential. The education system was now witnessing a paradigm shift from the traditional chalk-and-board teaching methodology to digitizing the pedagogical approach through technical devices. A transformation would not only increase the capability of the teachers but would also widen the knowledge base of students so as make them competitive in the international arena. The technology orientation needs to improve in order to equip themselves to face the students belong to the digital era and also to face the challenges in the modern classroom.

Role of Digital Technology in Teaching-Learning Process

Digital technology has brought significant changes in the progression of society. The paradigm shift in education requires the modern teacher to play a role of digital networkers to bring creativity within students as change enablers by using smart tools. Real time use of smart classrooms and magnetic induction enabled board can generate technology powered knowledge exchange which can settled long in students' mind in the upliftment of teaching learning methodology. The availability of newer technology in digital era demands to improve the performances of all stakeholders of knowledge sharing in a seamless way. Teacher educator has to ensure safety, environment protection and sustainable management. The present paper highlights the issues and challenges related to digital use in teaching and learning which can be driving force in overcoming the obstacles and become successful technology users. To analyze the teachers' perception of the challenges faced in using digital tools in classrooms, a quantitative research design has been used to collect the data from the teacher educators from the state of Jharkhand. The questionnaire has been administered on male and female teachers from the key issues and challenges found to be significant in using the digital tools were: limited accessibility and network connection, limited technical support, lack of effective training, limited time and lack of teachers' competency. The result shows there is a significant difference in the use of digital tools by male teachers is higher than female teachers. The outcome of this research provides proper information and recommendation to those responsible for integrating the new technologies into the teaching and learning process. The result suggests that, growing up with technology, digital natives as B.Ed. teachers are savvy with basic and social-communication technologies. However, their technology proficiency is limited by both narrow scope and insufficient technology driven activities.

WHAT IS THE ATTITUDE OF FUTURE TEACHERS TO DIGITAL TEACHING/LEARNING

Future teachers or beginning teachers in the age under 30 years (Generation Y and Z) since their childhood could use any information and communication technologies (ICT) without major objective obstacles. Their adolescence was influenced by the presence of this technique yet. Gradually they were educating by the ICT. Generations that come after them, they know only the on-line connected world or life with ICT (Generation X and/or Alfa). Both previous groups will co-operate as teacherstudent. This can cause a problem because two generations with different perception of on-line world and different level of digital literacy meet.
