Abstract

This research aims to reveal: (1) the use of ICT by the economics lecturers in the Faculty of Economics, Yogyakarta State University; (2) the reality of their skill in using ICT in teaching; and (3) the impact of ICT use on teaching. This research used the qualitative phenomenology approach. The determination of the source of data employed the snowball sampling technique, consisting of lecturers of Economics Education Department, through in-depth interviews, observations and documentation and also students of the Department of Economics Education, who were given open-ended questions for cross- checking the information. The technique of data analysis encompassed three interactive procedures among data collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The result reveals three findings. First, the use of ICT in the Faculty of Economics, Yogyakarta State University is that the Internet is used for browsing, LCD projectors for visualizing materials, and Be-Smart (e-learning) for learning support. However, ICT alone is not enough for teaching so the lecturers usually use the blended learning system. Second, the lecturers‟ skill in using ICT in teaching is in the average level. It is also noticed that the male lecturers are more competent in ICT than female lecturers. Their skills can be seen through their creativity in operating ICT media and the variation and the number of ICT tools used in the classroom. Third, the impacts of ICT use on teaching are the increase of the competence and the confidence of the lecturers to transfer knowledge. This is not only in teaching activities but also in research. Although ICT renders the students to focus on learning and it makes the pedagogical practice more effective and efficient, the fight against plagiarism remains a big issue for lecturers in the assessment of the students‟ abilities. Besides, among the encouraging factors to use ICT in teaching are the global challenge, the available facilities and the adaptation of economics subjects using ICT tools, while the unfavorable factor is the lack of creativity and knowledge of the lecturers in making better PowerPoint presentations for the students.
