Abstract
This paper is an attempt to propose an instructional model about how to
integrate information and communication technology (ICT) for teaching of
peace related concepts. It was a desk review concept paper. For this purpose,
the relevant available literature was reviewed to propose ICT integrated
instructional model. A gap was found between theory and practice in the
traditional model of teaching peace related concepts as the learning
requirements of 21st students’ are different from the past generations. During
the era of rapid advancement of (ICT) and its related resources like computer,
cell phones, laptops iPads, etc. are becoming an indispensable part of our life,
especially of 21st century generations’ daily life. During the era of explosion
of knowledge and developments, there is race of power and domination among
nations. In such scenarios we need to teach the peace and its related concepts
to students in such a way that these concepts are inculcated among our young
generations’ thinking and practices. As ICT has become an integral part of our
young generation’s life, therefore, we need to teach peace related concepts not
through oral sermons, rather teaching through integrating ICT related
resources. The transformation of the societies into a peaceful world can be
done through teaching students peace concepts through ICT embedded
instruction. Such transformation requires that students have love and desire for
peace and their practice adhere to the universal peace related concepts values
like care and respect for humanity, cultural understanding, harmony and
tolerance, equality of rights, solidarity, social justice, honesty, kindness,
sympathy, serving mankind, living things and environment, realizing the,
agonies other people, etc. Teachers adopt certain ways to develop such peace
related values among their students. However, the current era requirement is
to transform our teaching methods and to integrate technology for teaching of
peace related concepts.
