INTRODUCATION
The researcher would like to describe in the area of familiarity and use of information
communication technology for learning by students at Karakorum international university. In
this research topics the researcher interested to explore, modify, describe and explanation used of
ict for learning development at Karakorum international university. ICT instrument has used for
students learning development at Karakorum international university. The researcher specially
interested to describe Which Information Communication Technology for learning instrument
students has taken more benefit to attain their learning?
This study will provided significant key points benefit of ICT in Karakorum international
university students for learning. Education as system has also been effected by advances in
technology. This research topic through that comes to mind is that it is a positive thing and there
are many ways of using of Information Communication Technology for learning developing in
university level of students.
12
Modern education as system has also been achieved by improvements in Information
Communication Technology. Information Communication Technology has become major part of
the instrument of university as a result of it the competency in computer skill and its basic
knowledge is essential. This research topic through that comes to mind is that it is a positive
thing and there are many ways of using of Information Communication Technology for learning
developing in university level of students.
Information Communication Technology instruments are facilitated to Karakorum
international University learners, to increase their learning. Karakorum international University
students should be bright to enhanced usage of prior knowledge for their learning.
There are many ways to provide learning environment during the period of time.
Information Communication Technology has pragmatics changing, developing and enhancing
learning area in education. If students are better use of Information Communication Technology
for developing their learning, according to modern researcher students could not need to go
teacher for learning.
In Karakorum international university many lap are available to provide essay ways for
Information Communication Technology instrument. There are many ways to use of Information
Communication Technology instrument for the purpose of learning and developing knowledge.
Information Communication Technology instrument creates learning environment during
usage of Information Communication Technology. If students aware to use of Information
Communication Technology for their learning so they can sassily remember, understand and
apply knowledge for their really life. The computers have turned a significant factor in the
13
economic deprivation or advancement of large segments of society. In current era of technology
it is essential for every individual to learn use of ICT in order to survive.
Computers are perceived as a door for becoming part of global information society as
well as required skill for future workforce. Since computing continues to have a significant
impact on the world, an understanding of computer technology and its uses is important for all
members of our society to be effective consumers and producers in the 21st century and beyond.
Education as system has also been effected by advances in technology. Computers are now
extensively used in teaching-learning process. This has developed a new relationship between
teachers and students for sharing knowledge and experience which is free from limits of time and
space. In this situation importance of teaching computer sciences at Elementary level cannot be
ignored. The schools have greater opportunity to develop computer proficiency among students
so that they can meet upcoming challenges of technology world.
Computer education at elementary school level will not only create such broad public
understanding but also will help to address the worldwide shortage of computer specialists. The
creation of a viable computer science curriculum and its implementation at the Elementary level
is a necessary first step toward reaching these goals. So, the purpose of this study intends to
analyze the elementary school computer science curriculum in the light of perceptions of stake
holders and to suggest steps that will be needed for its purposeful implementation.
The learners are interested to improve the teaching and learning processes by using ICT.
Students want to clear his concept through ICT terms. The importance of computers in the world
of communication many educational institutions in general and universities in purely have
14
combined computer education in their curriculum generally known as Information and
Communication Technology (Tondeur, Braak and Valcke 2007).
According to Daniels (2002) information communication technology, have becomes
within a very short time one of the basic building laps of modern society. In the small age of time
information communication technology has spread as well as light of the sun. Today is mostly
used all the institutions of the country.
Today period of modern globalization and redeployments in education has becomes
progressive for knowledge gaining and receiving process. Recently has spread mostly all the
countries of the world. It is necessary key element of the development in the nation. Today many
educations sector are attempting to improve their quality of education through ICT instrument.
Use of computer technology plays an important role in the process of teaching and
learning. In this study forum can be used in different ways. It can be used to assign a practical
task to students in such a way that students solve the assigned problem in a collective manner.
This fits well with sensitive learning style. This research can also be used to give a sequential
series of ict instrument that can interact with the learner.
The sequence of Information communication technology instrument associated with the
corresponding discussion is an adequate teaching material for sequential style students. Kofi
Anan the former United Nations Secretary General points out that in order to achieve the goal of
Universal Primary Education by the year 2015 they must confirm that information and
communication technologies unlock the door of education systems.
This is point to the growing demand and increasingly more important place that could
receive in education. Since ICT provide greater opportunity for students to adjust learning and
15
understanding to individual requirements. Society is forcing schools to give suitable response to
this technical advance and use of ICT for learning. This chapter is about the background of the
study its purpose and justification for researching familiarly Use of Information Communication
Technology for Learning Students at Karakorum international University. The researcher has also
debated the significance of this study.
Background of the study
According to educationist today period is no doubt an era of computer. It is means that
the currents era is an era of Information Communication Technology. The research has developed
from Researcher interest in studying case study of university level students. Researcher purpose
to study this area is influenced by researcher experiences which is researcher during gained
working with a Karakoram International University GILGIT. The Gilgit University is introduced
since 2003 as a name of Karakorum international university of Gilgit. In the initial stage
Karakorum international university has faced many problems of Information Communication
Technology for Learning resources such as computer and his laps and supervision of lap in the
university.
At this time Karakorum international university needed instruments and component of
ICT for enhancing students learning. Higher education is offered in the universities and colleges.
Colleges generally offer undergraduate programs however some of them also offer postgraduate
programs as well. A significant number of colleges in the Gilgit are situated in distant regions. In
such backgrounds modern technology mainly internet facility is lacking. Given the fact it is
16
important to know how teacher in the remote areas use Information Communication Technology
for Learning in their Karakorum international university for the purposes development of
learning. In the framework of Higher Education the use of Information Communication
Technology has become an obvious need. Teachers and students use the technology in their
learning.
The field of education has been affected by ICT which have undoubtedly affected
teaching, learning and research (Yusuf, 2005). It is therefore of a foremost importance to map
how our teachers at the Higher Education level recognize the usage of various Information
Communication Technology for Learning tools in their classrooms and away for Karakorum
international university purposes.
Based on the realistic evidences findings of the study highlight some pertinent
suggestions and recommendations for ICT management staff in the context of use of ICT in
education as well as for various aspects of teacher development.
In this time researcher have closely observed influencing, increasing, developing and
h preparation examination they use to internet actually internet is an essential part of modern
ICT.
Students used to ICT for making their presentations and lectures. In Karakoram
International University ICT used to both side teaching and learning by simple way of
transforming and receiving knowledge. Karakorum international university has provided many
facilities of modern ICT for students enhancing learning through ICT instructions.
In Karakorum international university there are five modern ICT lap with moderns
instrument of ICT connected internet system. There are many techniques which are applicable in
different degree to language learning situation. Some are useful for testing and distance
17
education. Never let the machine take over the role of the teacher plays or limit function where
more traditional ways are superior.
Harris (2002) concludes that the benefits of ICT will be gained when confident
teachers are willing to explore new opportunities for changing their classroom practices by using
ICT
The effective integration of ICT into the Karakorum international university
educational system is a complex process that involves not just technology indeed given enough
initial capital getting the technology is the easiest part but also curriculum and pedagogy
institutional readiness teacher skills and long standing financing among others.
Harris (2002) concludes that the benefits of ICT will be gained when confident
teachers are willing to explore new opportunities for changing their classroom practices by using
ICT. When used correctly ICT especially computers and Internet technologies enable new ways
of teaching and learning rather than simply allowed teachers and students to do. These new ways
of teaching and learning are supported by constructivist theories of learning and constitute a shift
from teacher involved pedagogy.
Statement of the problem
There are many role of ICT to enhance the learning of students in the Karakorum
international university students. There are many differences between ICT and non ICT armed
tools. Teachers are enabling the usage of ICT in the classes. This research is based on the
knowledge to respond this statement to find out an answer. The purpose of this study was to
explore the familiarity and use of information communication technology for learning by
students at Karakorum international university It is a modern important of problem role of the
ICT instrument. Through ICT students learn it is important topic for the development of learning
18
in Karakorum international university students. In this to explore to benefiting of ICTs impact on
students learning. Karakorum international university has provided material of case study in
education for their students. ICT is a modern instrument of developing students concept through
different resources of technology.
Significance of the study
In this research will explored the beneficent of ICT, importance of ICT, ICT resources is
creating learning environment in the classroom, ICT instrument helps student to learn knowledge
by used of ICT material, ICT element created self-motivation during the learning. ICT
instrument developed Karakorum international university students to communicate through
learning by each other such as chatting, e mailing, status on social media and collection data
through internet. All these things and many others can be thought of as information, and they can
all be stored and processed by computers.

There is only one type of university exist in GB. There can be categorizing into fourteen
department of the Karakorum international university. Each department has a HOD who is
responsible handle for departmental key challenges, issues and problems. HOD is responsible to
provide all the learning material for students. Gilgit Baltistan is a small state in Pakistan.
Recently the government of Pakistan took the long waited decision in 2009 by giving some
controlled autonomy to this area as a semi province. The newly established province Gilgit-
Baltistan lies in the Northern Areas of Pakistan with the border belts of India, China and
Afghanistan.
According to Agah Khan Board the population of Gilgit-Baltistan was currently estimated at
968000 scattered over an area of 72496 square kilometers. The existence of a difficult is terrain
comprises snow-clad high mountains and streams coupled with harsh weather and an
undeveloped communications infrastructure, complicates accessibility to most communities.

22
History and Definition
Recently the computer technology plays a significant role in the process of gaining and
delivering knowledge. According to Braak and Valcke, (2007) are of the interpretation that use of
ICT intercedes higher-order thoughtful and develops, problem-solving skills. According to their
consideration that use of ICT fosters collaborative and flexible learning prospects to the students.
Modern Research has explored that problem-solving and critical thinking skills are key to
achievement in education.
Term and Definition

Herman Hollerith (1862-1929)
23
In 1890, this American applied the idea of punch boards in the form of punch cards
in computers for input and output.
ICT information communication technology the ICT programs shell cover a wide range
of areas pedagogy and pedagogical subject. ICT used to testing and evaluating of teaching
monitoring program. This policy has limited the function of ICT. Term says that ICT use to
evaluation and testing of teachers.
But according to my point of view ICT has multiple uses. It use for training purposes
program development and language course. According policy ICT shell bemuses to strengthen
the quality education and educational management. Computer and other digital devices are
connected with school management. Policy describes that the ICT shell be utilized creatively to
assist teachers and students with wide range of abilities.
This policy narrows the utilization of technology only in the field of education it also
utilizes in social work management business and medical purposes. Use of information
communication technology in education shell is promoted in live program of ministry of
education, s national policy. This policy introduces the strategy of information communication
technology for education in Pakistan. The education minister should introduce a text book about
for students.
Early education to higher studies because in this modern era men has consider not
capable without familiar with the technical technology .This policy further describe the use of
ICT in faculty training .Information technology help to give a pedagogical to provide teachers.
It enhances the development of abilities and higher education. This policy reveals modern
information technology is key to enhancing the ability. ICT is the source due to these men has
24
developed their leadership skills social development and educationally development. ICT helps
to get higher studies and it also help students in research .It help researcher to select the relevant
topic of their interest and also inform the importance of their chosen topic. Digital devices
provide the same information about research topic in PDF version .Modern devices are
supportive objects to connect with webs.
According to Franzoni and Assar (2009) debate that an information communication
technology can be used in different ways to instrument different teaching strategies which can be
coordinated with different learning styles. For example a discussion forum can be used in
different ways. It should be used, to assign an applied task to students in such a way that students
solve the assigned problem in a collective manner.
Due to usage of information communication technology and students computer can
sassily access the case studies and simulation movements about factories and industries for
consultation and practices? The technology offers the students latest data which will show
economic changes and other facts and figures about business industry. Such experience gives the
students learning opportunities through real life experiences (Oliver and Herrington, 2003).
ICT Defined in knowledge for learning
As we known that ICT is a modern invention. The term ICT is consisting of three
different word that are describe various information to each other. The research would like to
explore ICT stands for Information, Communication and Technology, which began in the 1980s.
25
The acronym ICT which is the combination of both terms Information and Communication,
were put together in order to emphasize the merging of both technologies. This phrase is also
used to describe a range of technologies in order to gather, store, retrieve, process, analyze and
transmit information. (Internet Advisory Board, 2008).
According to OSS and his members the definition of ICT came to be as follows: the use
of information in order to meet human need or purpose including reference to the use of
contemporary devices such as the Internet. However, in an ever-changing world of Videophones,
mobile computing, blogs, Skype and OSS perhaps we should no longer just include the Internet,
but leave the definition at 'contemporary devices...?'(Freedman, 1999).
ICT Enhancing teaching and learning processing
ICT has provided those terms of education which are creating learning the field of
education has been affected by Information Communication Technology which has undoubtedly
affected teaching, learning and research (Yusuf, 2005). The Information Communication
Technology has offered the leaner latest period which has showed economically change and
other facts and figure about education. Usages of Information Communication Technology
provide miraculous ways it is doing to improvement learning and teaching process in specific
academic. Recently many academic struggling to facilitate provides modern Information
Communication Technology material. (Iqbal, and Akhtar, 2010). Information Communication
Technology have the potential to accelerate, developing enrich, and deepen skills, learning, to
motivate and engage students, to help relate school experience to work practices, create
economic viability for tomorrow's workers, as well as establishment teaching and helping
schools change (Davis and Tearle, 1999; Lemke and Coughlin, 1998; cited by Yusuf, 2005). In a
26
quickly uploading world, basic education is essential for an individual be able to access and use
information. Such capability must find include Information Communication Technology in the
global village.
ICT increasing the quality and Availability of Education
Nowadays the educationist struggle to Information Communication Technology increases
the suppleness of transfer of education so that learners can access knowledge anytime and from
anywhere. It can influence the way students are taught and how they learn as now the processes
are learner driven and not by teachers. This in turn would better prepare the learners for lifelong
learning as well as to improve the quality of learning. In concert with geographical flexibility,
technology-facilitated educational programs also remove many of the temporal constraints that
face learners with special needs (Moore &Kersey, 1996). Students are starting to appreciate the
capability to undertake education anywhere, anytime and anyplace.
ICT increasing Learning Inspiration
Recently the researcher have point out of the Information Communication
Technology can, increasing the quality of education in many ways, by increasing learner
inspiration and arrangement, by smoothing the achievement of basic skills, and by attractive
teacher training. Information Communication Technology are also transformational tools which,
when used appropriately, can promote the shift to a learner centered environment. Information
Communication Technology especially computers and Internet technologies, enable new ways of
teaching and learning rather than simply allow teachers and students to do what they have done
before in a better way. Educationist belief Information Communication Technology has an
impact not only on what students should learn, but it also plays a major role on how the students
should learn. Some other instrument Along with a shift of curricula from content-centered to
27
competence-based, the mode of curricula delivery has now shifted from teacher centered
forms of delivery to student-centered forms of delivery.
ICT Enhancing the Scholastic Performance
Nowadays the learners Based on the extensive usage of Information Communication
Technology in education the need appeared to unravel the myth that surrounds the use of
information and communication technology (ICT) as an aid to teaching and learning, and the
impact it has on students academic performance. Information Communication Technology are
said to help expand access to education, strengthen the relevance of education to the increasingly
digital workplace, and raise educational quality.
The researcher explore the ICT describes which also emerging role in decision is making
process of education. Usages of Information Communication Technology provide unbelievable
ways it is doing to improvement learning and teaching process in specific academic. Nowadays
many academic struggling to facilitate provides modern Information Communication Technology
material. (Irbil, and Kantar, 2010).
However Information Communication Technology delivers them students to abreast with
the Information Communication Technology from the starting of their department. Information
Communication Technology highlighting the importance of education stress that the modern
technology dominates students cognitive and behavior changes in everyday life. Information
Communication Technology can be explore to increasing benefit between teacher and learner as
news paths of engaging student in their learning become available.
Today in the issues period Information Communication Technology has becomes an
important fascinator of the interaction between learner and teacher as well as between learners
and learners.
28
Due to use of Information Communication Technology students can access the studies
material for developing their knowledge. The Information Communication Technology has
offered the leaner latest period which has showed economically change and other facts and figure
about education. Usages of Information Communication Technology provide miraculous ways it
is doing to improvement learning and teaching process in specific academic. Nowadays many
academic struggling to facilitate provides modern Information Communication Technology
material. (Iqbal, and Akhtar, 2010). Information Communication Technology can be explore to
increasing benefit between teacher and learner as news paths of engaging student in their
learning become available.
The Use of ICT in Learning
According to modern computer specialist Information Communication Technology
can enhance the quality of education in several ways, by increasing learner motivation and
engagement, by facilitating the acquisition of basic skills, and by enhancing teacher training.
Information Communication Technology are also transformational tools which, when used
appropriately, can promote the shift to a learner centered environment. According to modern
computer specialist Information Communication Technology especially computers and Internet
technologies, enable new ways of teaching and learning rather than simply allow teachers and
students to do what they have done before in a better way. According to modern computer
specialist Information Communication Technology has an impact not only on what students
should learn, but it also plays a major role on how the students should learn. According to
modern computer specialist Along with a shift of curricula from content-centered to
competence-based, the mode of curricula delivery has now shifted from teacher centered
forms of delivery to student-centered forms of delivery. According to modern computer
29
specialist Information Communication Technology provides- Motivation to Learn. Information
Communication Technology such as videos, television and multimedia computer software that
Combine text, sound, and colorful moving images can be used to provide challenging and
authentic content that will engage the student in the learning process.
Interactive radio likewise makes use of sound effects, songs, dramatizations, comic
skits, and other performance conventions to compel the students to listen and become more
involved in the lessons being delivered. Some of the parents of the respondents opined that their
children were feeling more motivated than before in such type of teaching in the classroom
rather than the stereotype 45 minutes lecture. According to modern computer specialist they were
of the view that this type of learning process is much more effective than the monotonous
monologue classroom situation where the teacher just lectures from a raised platform and the
students just listen to the teacher. Information Communication Technology changes the
characteristics of problems and learning.
This study provides the young learners to abreast with the technology from the very
beginning of their academic lives. Highlighting the importance of e-learning Biggs and Tang
(2011) stress that the digital technology dominates students behavior in everyday life, that
technology can be used to enhance the dialogue between teacher and learner as new ways of
engaging students in learning become available. Hence in the current era Information
Technology has become an important mediator of the interaction between students and teachers
as well as between students and students.
Due to usage of ICT and personal computers students can access the case studies and
simulation exercises about factories and industries for consultation and practices. The technology
offers the students latest data which will show economic changes and other facts and figures
30
about business industry. Such experience gives the students learning opportunities through real
life experiences (Oliver and Herrington, 2003).
Todays without any vision, goals, guidelines, understanding, and expertise ICT may
not result in an expected outcome. Therefore it is important to identify the current technologies
which improve the teaching and learning process as well how to use it in best. The technology
which help the teachers in teaching, help the students in learning and beneficial for
administration of schools. Besides, it is also important to know the perceptions, beliefs, and
practices of the users of the technology.
Today on the important of ICT describes which is also developing role in decision
making process of education. Usages of Information Communication Technology provide
miraculous ways it is doing to improvement learning and teaching process in specific academic.

Benefits of ICT resource in students learning
The field of education has been affected by Information Communication Technology
which has undoubtedly affected teaching, learning and research (Yusuf, 2005). Information
Communication Technology have the potential to accelerate, enrich, and deepen skills, to
motivate and engage students, to help relate school experience to work practices, create
economic viability for tomorrow's workers, as well as strengthening teaching and helping
schools change (Davis and Tearle, 1999; Lemke and Coughlin, 1998; cited by Yusuf, 2005). In a
rapidly changing world, basic education is essential for an individual be able to access and apply
information. Such ability must find include Information Communication Technology in the
global village.
Attitude towards the use of ICT
According to Anderson an attitude is a moderately intense emotion that prepares an
individual to respond consistently in a favorable and unfavorable manner when confronted with a
32
particular object. Baron and Byrne asserted that attitudes shape individuals perceptions of the
world and their social behavior. Attitudes, behavior and feelings have been found by some
researchers to be linked, such that peoples attitudes determine their behavior towards object and
people they meet and influence even the relationships that exist among this with them. From
these features we may describe attitude as a complex, mostly learned and enduring but
changeable system of cognition and affection which influence an individuals favorable and
unfavorable action or reaction to an object. Attitude is likely a personal factor which could
influence the persons on the use of ICT. This is because the users attitude may directly
influence their attention to use the computer or ICT (Speier2008). A positive relationship exists
between experience levels and favorable attitudes towards computer or using ICT tools.
The internet learning and accessibility of education
India has a billion-plus population and a high proportion of the young and hence it
has a large formal education system. The demand for education in developing countries like
India has skyrocketed as education is still regarded as an important bridge of social, economic
and political mobility (Amutabi and Oketch, 2003).
Modes of ICT conceptual framework
Based on the extensive usage of ICTs in education the need appeared to unravel the
myth that surrounds the use of information and communication technology (ICT) as an aid to
teaching and learning, and the impact it has on students academic performance. Information
Communication Technology are said to help expand access to education, strengthen the
relevance of education to the increasingly digital workplace, and raise educational quality.
33
However, the experience of introducing different Information Communication Technology in the
classroom and other educational settings all over the world over the past several decades
suggests that the full realization of the potential educational benefits of Information
Communication Technology. The direct link between Information Communication Technology
use and students academic performance has been the focus of extensive literature during the last
two decades. Information Communication Technology helps students to their learning by
improving the communication between them and the instructors (Valasidou and Bousiou, 2005).
The analysis of the effects of the methodological and technological innovations on
the students attitude towards the learning process and on students performance seems to be
evolving towards a consensus, according to which an appropriate use of digital technologies in
education can have significant positive effects both on students attitude and their achievement.
Research has shown that the appropriate use of ICTs can catalyze the paradigmatic shift in both
content and pedagogy that is at the heart of education reform in the 21st century. Kuliks (1994)
meta-analysis study revealed that, on average, students who used ICT-based instruction scored
higher than students without computers.
The students also learned more in less time and liked their classes more when ICT-
based instruction was included. Fuchs and Woessman (2004) used international data from the
Programmer for International Student Assessment (PISA), they showed that while the bivariate
correlation between the availability of Information Communication Technology and students
performance is strongly and significantly positive, the correlation becomes small and
insignificant when other student environment characteristics are taken into consideration. ICT
describes which also developing role in decision is making process of education. Usages of
Information Communication Technology provide miraculous ways it is doing to improvement
34
learning and teaching process in specific academic. Nowadays many academic struggling to
facilitate provides modern Information Communication Technology material. (Irbil, and Kantar,
2010).
Information Communication Technology delivers them students to abreast with the

learning become available. Atwal and Battle (1999) examined the relationship between having a
home computer and school performance, their findings suggest that students who have access to
35
a computer at home for educational purposes, have improved scores in reading and math. Becker
(2000) found that Information Communication Technology increases student engagement, which
leads to an increased amount of time students spend working outside class.
Coates et al. (2004) showed that students in on-campus courses usually score better
than their online counterparts, but this difference is not significant here. Information
Communication Technology especially computers and Internet technologies enable new ways of
teaching and learning rather than simply allow teachers and students to do what they have done
before in a better way.
Information Communication Technology helps in providing a catalyst for rethinking
teaching practice (Flecknoe,2002; McCormick & Scrimshaw, 2001) developing the kind of
graduates and citizens required in an information society (Department of Education, 2001);
improving educational outcomes (especially pass rates) and enhancing and improving the quality
of teaching and learning (Wagner, 2001; Garrison & Anderson, 2003).
Information Communication Technology can help deepen students content
knowledge, engage them in constructing their own knowledge, and support the development of
complex thinking skills (Kozma, 2005; Kulik, 2003; Webb & Cox, 2004).
The information society is based on the belief that knowledge is the driving force for
technology development and thus also for economic growth; the knowledge work and knowledge
workers form a relatively large proportion of the employment. For the knowledge economy it is
not only a question of whether people can access information but also how well they can process
this information (Hargreaves, 2003).
Education becomes essential to answer the needs of technology and society, and it
presumes, e.g. the democratization of higher education (Waters, 1998). Education is regarded as
36
the means to meet the Information Communication Technology revolution, but also a means to
keep pace with the continuing Information Communication Technology development.
Limitation of the Literature Review
The researcher has lack of time period it is not possible to analyze and evaluate the
broad amount of literature related to the Information Communication Technology. In this
research only importance element of Information Communication Technology were discussed.
Due to the short of resources the researcher consulted slow internet service and few books. Due
to which most describe data about the Information Communication Technology was not
collected.
CHAPTER 3
MERHODOLOGY
37
The aim of this study is to describe the outcomes of familiarity and use of information
communication technology for learning by students at Karakorum international university.
The researcher would like to describe this chapter apprehension with the research methodology
that was used to describe the familiarity and use of information communication technology for
learning by students at Karakorum international university. This chapter consists of many
sections research design, population, sampling, data collections tools, instruments, data analysis
procedure and ethical considerations.
Being a researcher I have kept my hope while conducting research researcher would be able to
gain a deeper insight by quantitative method and analyzing on Karakoram international
university students. The researcher considered better use of Information Communication
Technology material students for their learning. This study was foundationally a single case
study in which the unit is an individual university. Another reason of choosing a quantitative
method was that the perception of ICT has currently gained the attention of Karakorum
international university. The researcher typically quantitative the characteristics of an individual
unite. The purpose of such as quantitative was to probe deeply and analyze intensively the
multifarious phenomena that constitute the life cycle of the unit with a view to establishing
generalization about the wider population to which that unit belongs. (Farat. 2016)
Research Design
Quantitative method was used to investigate the Karakorum international
university Students towards the importance of ICT resources in their learning. The quantitative
method approach presented is a pragmatic inquiry that investigates a contemporary problem
within its real life context. The quantitative research made the research process a mutually
38
beneficial undertaking. In the research process the researchers gained new perceptions about the
topic whereas the research participants got opportunity to read data reflecting their thought
processes and actions(sultana et 2012). Quantitative method approach used in this research was
based on reviews literature and aim to collecting details about ICT practices in order to answer
the following questions.
To answer the research questions paper was conducted Karakorum international
university students in different department. Semi structure paper with Karakorum international
university students was conducted in order to answer the first research question. The participant
with Karakorum international university students was conducting answering the second research
question. The third and fourth questions were answered with the assist of data gathered through
quantitative with Karakorum international university students and the observations conducted at
KIU computer lap.
Population and Sampling
The context of this study was the Karakoram international university Gilgit.
Current statistics show are almost more than 15 departments in the Karakorum international
university which are working in order V.C of the Karakorum international university. According
to crewel (2012) a population is a group of people who have the same characteristics. In this way
the overall population selected was all the Karakorum international university department
students cannot possible. So while the targeted population includes only six students of each
department of Karakorum international university.
For an ideal data collection all the Karakoram international university department
can be studied but due to lack of time and resources it was not possible to study the large of
39
Karakorum international university students. Form the targeted population the researcher had
conveniently selected few students for an in depth case study. It was possible to include all the
students response in research sample. While selecting participants from Karakorum international
university the purposeful sampling was used that includes maximum variation sampling. In order
to maintain the gender equality such as male and female students were selected. The face to face
semi structured quantitative method was individually with each participant and non-participant
observation was conducted.
Following criteria has been students while selecting the participants from Karakorum
international university by maximum variation sampling technique.
a) The students belonged to learning of different subjects in department.

b) All students have diverse learning experiences.
c) The students should able to use of ICT for learning.
Data Collection
The current quantitative method utilized the semi structure quantitative and non-participant
observations for data collection. This case study describes the major problem, hindrance,
importance and recommendation ICT for learning by students at Karakorum international
university, According to scholz & Ola (2002) Each case study should use multiple sources of
information. The data was collected within the short time period from 20 October to 31
November. In this period I have faced many problems to collection my research data. Such as
there are created many problems for collection data. More details about the data collection tools
are discussed in forth coming sub sections.
40
Quantitative Questioners
Quantitative tool can be divided into five categories on the basis of solved Question: semi
structured, structured, specific question about related the topic, overall quantitative and
unstructured. First I was selected semi structure quantitative as the mean of data collection of
initial three questions. Karakorum international university students are well suited for the
exploration of the view and ideals of respondents regarding complex and sometime hindrance
problems and enable probing for more knowledge and clarification of answers. Semi structure
quantitative method is the varied professional educational and personal histories of the sample
group precluded the use of a standardized interview schedule (Barriball & While, 1994).
Semi structure quantitative enclosed question that is directly helpful to the research questions.
The purpose of quantitative was described to the participants before started solved paper. The
researcher managing the time for quantitative and he took field notes for every paper. The
quantitative is recorded with proper channel through permission. It took appropriately 10 to 20
minutes to solve with each paper by Karakorum international university students. In this
quantitative method provided depth collection of data.
These quantitative method questions included equal participated each departments of Karakorum
international university students. During these quantitative method researcher has occurred many
hindrance to deal with his ability at Karakorum international university and the researcher did his
best techniques to provide a relaxed environment with Karakorum international university
students. The researcher created friendly environment during interview and students felt too easy
while expression their opinion.
41
Quantitative Method
Quantitative method was also used as a data collection instruments. It is also helped to researcher
understanding situation of the condition of environment in Karakorum international university.
Quantitative method helped collection of data with deeper understanding of the expiation,
actions, feelings, describe and expressions of the research participants. The researcher
participants are observed in of department of Karakorum international university. According to
Darlington (2002), Quantitative is a very influential way of result out what people do in an
exacting context, the routines and interaction pattern of their everyday life (p.74). Furthermore
expiation Mark & janina (2007) Quantitative is a powerful technique for result out what people
does. You can studies that the real behavior in the real world (p.117).
Furthermore of better answering the research question, non-participant quantitative method are
conducted at Karakorum international university students. Total twelve quantitative method
sessions were arranged in Karakorum international university due to lack of time. One
department quantitative method with each solved paper student. During quantitative method my
fully attention was focused on Karakorum international university students. During my research I
noticed totally describe what I was observed about the ICT uses enhancing KIU students their
learning. The researcher had written copy the uses of ICT, counted of particular activities and
share their knowledge to each other. In KIU students has few resources of ICT material but they
have share to his ICT instrument to other for the achieving their learning. The researcher
observed to KIU students created group learning environment to develop learning about the topic
through Information Technology and communication.
42
Data analysis Produced
As this research study was quantitative in nature and multiple materials were used of the
collection of quantitative data. This aim of this study was to explanation a clear picture about
information technology and communication used in Karakorum international university students.
Semi structure quantitative method was arranged with information technology and
communication used in Karakorum international university students. In quantitative method the
participants delivered their perceptions towards information technology and communication used
in Karakorum international university students for developing knowledge. The quantitative
method was provided to gathering data about the ways of information technology and
communication used in Karakorum international university students.
The data gathering through quantitative method were assembled and analyzed for creating
themes about Information Technology and communication used in Karakorum international
university students. This area was roughly written drown in a copy to highlight the important
information that came about answering the research questions. The data collection from
quantitative method were first understanding and transcribed by analyzing of quantitative
method field arrange. After that the emerging themes from quantitative method transcripts were
used for gathering information through research questions. The responded from participants and
quantitative method information were analyzed individual as well as interpreting at the average.
The thematic analysis was applied to present the outcome and discussion. According to
researcher thematic approach adds extensive talking about the major theme that emerging from
analyzing a quantitative method. Regularly this technique uses bloom quotes and clear
explanations to help the theme (Creswell 2002). At the last from the analysis of the arising
themes inference were made and conclusions were selected.
43
Ethical Considerations
The researcher has properly permission from every participants responded research questions.
These participants were voluntarily participated in study. These participants made the selected to
be part of research after explanation of research purpose, goal and aims.
Instrument
In the details discussed in chapter 2 research instruments were selected to collect data for this
study. The researcher had designed five types of questioners for arranging quantitative method.
One for this quantitative method with Karakorum international university is students. The
questioner designed for the Karakorum international university students consisted 12 questions
while the questioner for students. As the quantitative method were designed semi structured that
is why some additional and probes were included while conducting quantitative method.
Questionnaires can be viewed at appendix A.
CHAPTER 4
DATA ANALSIS AND FINDINGS

In this chapter the researcher would like to investigate the research analysis gathered data from
aimed of sample of the study using data analysis quantitative instruments. First the recorded
quantitative were selected to transliterate individually into written form a copy. The quantitative
data were then coded into related themes of the research objective and sub questions of the study.
The emerging theme was described using thematic analysis. To helped some themes the data
from field notes of Karakorum international university students using ICT material. The various
quotes of participants were moreover mentioned in the theme. The theme was further matched in
the research codes and analyzed each code to derive discussions and conclusions.

CHAPTER 5
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
Conclusion
This research delivers important information about how familiarity and use of
information communication technology for learning by students at Karakorum international
university. In case of modern globalization and reorganizations in education has become
advanced for knowledge gaining and receiving process. Recently ICT has spread mostly all the
countries of the world. It is necessary key element of the development in the nation. Today many
educations sector are attempting to improve their quality of education through ICT instrument.
Recently are is Information Communication Technology for progression, development,
create theories about the content knowledge, learning, teaching, making curriculum policy and
includes all the aspect of the developing element. It is needed to be Information Communication
Technology for achieved their purpose. Information Communication Technology is carrying on
almost goods to provide better knowledge for students. Such as internet is a powerful tool of
delivering knowledge. Modern research belief that internet is curial essential part of transferring
knowledge because in internet there are many website having good information to each other. If
we have said internet could be bring change for the future knowledge. Information
Communication Technology has many tools which we cannot describe to these for students
learning because we have limited facilities of Information Communication Technology.
73
The study has provided good effort of the Information Communication Technology
for KIU students. The study has conducted Karakorum international university students by using
Information Communication Technology for their learning.
Karakorum international university students have faced many problems by Information
Communication Technology for their learning. In Karakorum international university there are
lack of ICT lap, slow internet service, ICT instruments, old ICT resources and lack of human
resources. These are major challenges faced Karakorum international university students during
used of Information Communication Technology for learning.
Limitations of the Study
The study investigates the students by using Information Communication Technology in
Karakorum international university. Through there is one instrument exist in the area. In
Karakorum international university there are many departments. This study was conducted only
seven departments in the Karakorum international university. For better results the study should
have been protracted to as many departments as possible across the Karakorum international
university Gilgit. Another limitation of this study was that the study conducted only quantitative
approach for collection data within the short time frame of only 23 days.
Recommendations for Future Research
This small scale study is limited to only seven departments in the context of a small
institution. Due to the limitations of demographic information is study. It is recommendation that
this study be pretend in a variety of department and diverse settings. The study was conducted
with seven departments in Karakorum international university Gilgit. It is recommended to
replicate the study with Karakorum international university students. Additional studies should

Implications for Karakorum International University Students
In the critically judgments the results being a researcher I have kept in mind the outcome the
study recants following implications for Karakorum international university students.
There should be necessary policy for Information Communication Technology at
Karakorum international university Gilgit.

There should be allocation of separate fund for Information Communication Technology
instrument in the Karakorum international university. So that students can easily access
and use the Information Communication Technology.

For effective implementation of Information Communication Technology the lap strength
should be have own to each department in the Karakorum international university.

There should be enhancing the Information Communication Technology trainer. It can
help to students enable to use of Information Communication Technology tools.

There should be conduct action and critical researches for better utilize of Information
Communication Technology.
There should be kept awareness programs about the Information Communication
Technology.
There should be constructing to Information Communication Technology room and
increasing Information Communication Technology tools.
