The Role of ICT in Enhancing Education in Developing Countries: Findings from an Evaluation of The Intel® Teach Essentials Course in India, Turkey, and Chile

This paper presents findings from case studies of the introduction of the Intel® Teach Essentials Course — a professional development program focused on integrating information and communication technologies (ICT) into project-based learning — into six schools in Chile, India,and Turkey. It describes four common dimensions of change in learning environments that emerged across the countries: changes in teachers’ knowledge, beliefs, and attitudes; changes in how students engage with content; changes in relationships among students, teachers, and parents; and changes in the use of ICT tools to promote students’ learning.
