A Model to Measure the Impact of Teacher-Student Communication and its Effects on the Educational Process

Abstract

The revolutionary developments in the field of information and communication technology, especially the disciplines related to computers, mobile phones, and the Internet - have brought a renaissance in educational technology, and these web 2.0 technological applications aim to improve the educational process. Despite the advantages offered by Web 2.0 technologies in communicating in the learning process between the student and the teacher, it lacks the ability to schedule a pre-set time by the teacher to communicate with students. Therefore, the researcher developed a model TSC (Teacher-student communication) for communication between the teacher and the student that allows scheduling a time in advance for the communication, also enabling teachers to upload files to students and informing them of the latest events by placing them like a bulletin board, and the TSC model allows connecting students with each other through the chat screen. The descriptive approach was used to describe the study of factors affecting the educational process, and the study data were obtained using questionnaires for students and teachers 80 and 40, respectively. And the analytical approach of structural equations, path analysis, and building a better model through AMOS technology. One of the most important results of the research is that the students ’communication model with teachers in the educational process has good efficiency, and the results of the study showed that students in private colleges in Khartoum state possess the required features, skills, and knowledge to use information and communication technology, in addition to the current educational process in Sudanese universities it has evolved and become suitable for communication through information and communication technology. The study recommended the necessity to regulate the use of information and communication technology in teaching through an organized institutional effort and to provide the necessary elements to ensure the success of this method, including the provision of technical and financial support.
