Information and communication technologies have become common place entities in all aspects of life. Across the past twenty years the use of ICT has fundamentally changed the practices and procedures of nearly all forms of endeavour within business and governance. Education is a very socially oriented activity and quality education has traditionally been associated with strong teachers having high degrees of personal contact with learners.
The use of ICT in education lends itself to more student-centred learning settings. But with the world moving rapidly into digital media and information, the role of ICT in education is becoming more and more important and this importance will continue to grow and develop in the 21st century1.
Nowadays computerization is one of the dominant trends in the development of the modern society. The rapid development and spread of Internet technologies in Uzbekistan has been reflected in the state education policy. The informatization of education has become one of the priorities of modernization of Uzbekistan educational system, and has aimed at developing a methodology, technologies, methods and organizational forms of education to improve the educational system control mechanisms in today's informational society.
There is much being done in Central Asian countries, and in Uzbekistan in particular, to facilitate the dissemination of IT technologies and to raise the IT competency of the population. In this regard, on February 23rd, 2011, a Resolution of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan on the measures for further development of the quality of libraries and information resource services, based on information and communication technologies for the period of 2011-2015, was adopted. This Resolution set the framework for formulating the typical regulations of electronic libraries. For each information resource center of secondary educational establishments of the Republic, a programme has been approved for the creation of:
1) an electronic collection of full-text informational-library resources;
2) an electronic catalogue;
3) a database of electronic textbooks, journals;
4) a database of electronic information resources of the world's scientific and academic publishing houses.2
Concurrently a Decree of the Ministry of Higher and Secondary Special Education of the Republic of Uzbekistan from May 20th, 2011 has been issued, according to which all secondary educational establishments in the country need to enhance the responsibility of teachers in creation of high-quality training materials in electronic format in order to support the e-education processes throughout the country.
Considering rapid development of information and communication technologies, especially mobile phones, mobile TV and mobile Internet, it is necessary to recognize the ability of students to connect to the universal information environment and information resources to support self-development. Social networking sites allow students to explore their interests on a global scale and discuss their interests with a wider range of people. This has huge implications for self-learning, as information and resources are much more available than they were previously. However, for students that aren’t skilled at evaluating different content, it can be hard for them to sort through various resources to find accurate and useful information.
Technologies are already changing education, as online schools allow students to earn degrees through only online courses. Online classes can use Computer-Based Trainings in place of lectures. Computer-Based Trainings are self-paced activities on a computer that present content to a user. The trainings often include assessments that can be immediately scored, providing quick feedback to the user. The trainings allow media such as videos and pictures to be used in conjunction with text. Online schools are also developing online collaboration tools to allow students to work and learn collaboratively online.
In the future, we can expect that new technologies will emerge, and they will be increasingly useful for educational purposes. As technology changes, the way we learn will change, and educational systems will be forced to change to accommodate students’ learning styles. Likely, collaborative, to-the-point, easily-accessible information systems will win out over research journals and books, despite their higher level of accuracy. Students will be flooded with information from various technologies. It’s up to the educational system to recognize that students are turning to technologies for education, and to teach students how to evaluate the information they find through technology.
The goal of the new pedagogical technologies used in learning and teaching process is that each country of the world can access professional learning systems and make school development plans and strategies. There may be expectations that technology will solve all the school's problems with student learning and achievement. To be effective, however, technology must be used to promote new learning goals and teaching strategies that are student-centered, collaborative, engaging, authentic, self-directed, and based on development of higher-order thinking skills. In conclusion, the technology used in learning and teaching process represents the future of our humanity, and the purpose is to develop a knowledge based society1.
The adoption and use of ICTs in education have a positive impact on teaching, learning, and research. ICT can affect the delivery of education and enable wider access to the same. In addition, it will increase flexibility so that learners can access the education regardless of time and geographical barriers. It can influence the way students are taught and how they learn. It would provide the rich environment and motivation for teaching learning process which seems to have a profound impact on the process of learning in education by offering new possibilities for learners and teachers. These possibilities can have an impact on student performance and achievement. Similarly wider availability of best practices and best course material in education, which can be shared by means of ICT, can foster better teaching and improved academic achievement of students. The overall literature suggests that successful ICT integration in education.
Uzbekistan’s society always sees its future in an educated, healthy and harmonically developed generation. For the years of independence education sector has been brought into the foreground of development and modernization of the country; its full reformation has become a priority direction of the government policy. By the present the republic has created modern conditions not only for successful education on all the phases of education, but also for effective work of teachers. The authority of the mentor, prestige of teacher’s profession are high now, and criteria of worthy assessment and reward of teacher’s work has become professionalism, loyalty to upbringing and education matter, creativity and innovation.
Getting education in such a friendly atmosphere, the students obtain skills and knowledge, allowing them to become competitive specialists in fast-changing world, market conditions. New requirements to teachers introduced new technology to have its rigid place in study process. Having come to the aid, it required corresponding skills of teachers, education of corresponding specialists, possessing knowledge on information communication technology.
