Impact of ICT Enabled Tools on Chemistry Education

Vijay J. Desale

Abstract: The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Chemistry education enhances both teaching and learning effectiveness, particularly for complex topics like reaction mechanism, stereochemistry, bio-molecules and IUPAC nomenclature. Even though conventional chalk-and-talk techniques are still useful, ICT tools offer many benefits, particularly when it comes to visualizing intricate chemical concepts and 3D molecular structures. In this context, ICT tools refer to a variety of digital resources, such as video content, online resources, computer-based learning materials, and conferencing technologies. These resources provide more interesting ways to teach difficult chemical concepts while overcoming the constraints of the traditional classroom. Commercial software packages offer attractive teaching solutions, they are increases teaching flexibility. The crucial task is finding a balance between conventional and ICT-based teaching strategies by ensuring teachers have proper support and recognition for implementing these innovative teaching approaches. The ultimate goal is to transform chemistry education pedagogy to attract and retain talented educators while enhancing student learning outcomes through effective technology integration. This article helps in creating policies that prioritise financial and infrastructural needs to HEIs for educational technology tools that are beneficial for the students and teachers to improve the ICT enabled teaching-learning process.
