In this era of technological revolution, our
society has been witnessing transformations in almost
every aspect of human life. It therefore, has potent
impact on education and on classroom teaching-learning
in particular. The evolution of Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) has brought a radical
change in the entire scenario of classroom teachinglearning. The inclusion of ICT in teaching-learning
process impulses the learners to be tech-savvy, the
teachers to be techno-competent and the classrooms to
be technology enabled. Thus, it is the demand of time
that the future teachers are trained to be competent
enough in techno-pedagogy so as to meet their future
roles according to the needs of learners. In this context,
the present study aimed to provide a critical review of
the research studies those identified the effectiveness of
ICT integrated pedagogy in education with special
reference to pre-service teacher education and teaching
mathematics. A total of 70 qualified recent studies were
included in this meta-analysis. The findings suggest ICT
integration generally produced a positive effect, though
moderate in comparison to the traditional approaches
and that was dependent on the type of technology used
and subject to be taught.
