Toward Using Technology for Instructional Purposes in Lesotho
Authors: Thaanyane Mamosa , Jita Thuthukile
Published: August 2024

Preparing both teachers and students for the technological world is very challenging, requiring a total shift of the entire education system to accommodate the thorough use of technology. Studies show that technological competence is the key factor that holds the entire modern education structure together. However, the use of technology in teacher education is still delayed as student-teachers engage in technology for activities without meaningful learning purposes, such as fun-related activities. This calls for thorough training meant to remove the physical barriers that hinder student-teachers’ use of technology in the classroom. This study examined factors that influence student- teachers’ self-efficacy in using technology in learning in one teacher education institution in Lesotho. A systematic review approach was adopted to select and analyze studies on student-teachers and the use of technology in tertiary education. After screening for relevance, some studies were excluded. The themes that emerged from the selected studies were analyzed to build themes that are relevant to student-teachers' self-efficacy in using technology in learning. Findings indicate that student-teachers’ self-efficacy in using technology is influenced by the lack of technological tools in classrooms and computer laboratories, lack of professional development, lack of information and communication technology (ICT) policy, cost of connectivity, and the benefits of technology in learning entrepreneurship education. These findings imply that teacher education is required to restructure its curriculum and offer adequate support to student- teachers and lecturers. In addition, teacher education must restructure their classrooms and computer laboratories to shape student-teachers for future roles.

Authors: Amin Dr.Fatima
Published: August 2024

Introduction: The acquisition of soft skills is essential for undergraduate Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) students, enhancing their ability to communicate, collaborate, and adapt in the dynamic field of dental practice. While networking and mentorship are both recognized as valuable methods for developing these skills, their comparative effectiveness remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the impact of networking and mentorship on the development of soft skills among BDS students in a private dental college. Methodology: A cross-sectional quantitative approach was used, involving a survey administered via Google Forms. The study population comprised 250 participants, including current BDS students, alumni, and faculty members from Liaquat College of Medicine and Dentistry. Data were collected over six weeks, focusing on participation in networking and mentorship activities, and self-assessment of soft skills development. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 25 to compare the effectiveness of these two approaches. Results: Of the 250 respondents, 64% participated in networking activities, while 48% engaged in mentorship programs. Networking activities primarily included student organization gatherings and professional conferences, whereas mentorship was mostly one-on-one. Participants rated their competencies in various soft skills on a scale of 1 to 5. Networking was found to be more effective in enhancing communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and adaptability, with 48% of participants favoring it over mentorship. Mentorship, although less impactful in certain domains, provided significant individual guidance and career support. Conclusion: The study highlights the complementary roles of networking and mentorship in developing soft skills among BDS students. Networking was particularly effective in enhancing communication and teamwork, while mentorship offered personalized support. Integrating both approaches into dental curricula can provider a supportive learning environment, promoting comprehensive professional growth. Future research should consider diverse sampling and objective measures to validate these findings.
