ICT integration in curriculum – UGC NET Question

Statements A, C and D correctly describe important conditions for meaningful ICT integration, while B and E are incorrect. Aligning tools with objectives, adapting assessments and supporting teacher development are all necessary for effective use of technology. Merely adding slides without planning does not guarantee learning, and fully replacing traditional methods is neither always possible nor pedagogically desirable. Hence, the combination A, C and D only is correct.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it selects A and D only and omits C. Statement C is also true, emphasising the need to adjust assessments and activities when integrating ICT. Without C, the description of ICT integration remains incomplete.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it includes A, C and E as correct statements while retaining E, which claims that ICT integration always replaces traditional methods. This is false because blended approaches combining ICT with face-to-face methods are common and effective.

Option C:
Option C is correct because it brings together A, C and D, the three statements that identify alignment, assessment changes and teacher development as key to integration. It excludes the simplistic and misleading assumptions in B and E, offering a balanced view.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it groups B, C, D and E, accepting both B and E. These two statements misrepresent ICT integration as superficial slide use or total replacement of traditional methods. Including them makes the combination conceptually flawed.
