Abstract
Research indicates that student achievement enhances if coupled with information
and communication technology (ICT). However, regardless of its extreme
importance, there are examples of ICT underuse across all levels of classroom
teaching and learning in Pakistan. Evidence from previous research studies suggests
that teachers’ perceptions, attitudes and motivation towards ICT determine the
practical use of ICT in classroom teaching. The aim of this study was to fi nd the
effect of university teachers’ perceptions, attitude, and motivation towards their
readiness for the integration of ICT in their classroom teaching. A sample of 377
university teachers from 51 higher education institutions responded to the survey
instrument. The data were analyzed by using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA)
and Multiple Regression Analysis. The analysis of data revealed a statistically
signifi cant effect of university teachers’ perceptions, attitude and motivation
towards teachers’ readiness for the integration of ICT in their classroom teaching.
Based on the fi ndings, the study recommends that university teachers with basic
ICT literacy should be encouraged to have a positive attitude toward technology
use for discharging professional responsibilities.
