Abstract: With the change of educational paradigm in the present era of Information Technology, scholars are increasingly emphasizing the need for integrating ICT in education. Aligned with the present national educational policy of Bangladesh, a good number of projectsare being run at college level to equip the teachers with the skills and knowledge to use ICT in their pedagogy. However, in many cases teachers are still found to be underperforming. This qualitative study is an attempt to study the influencing factors for teachers' motivation to use ICT in their classes at one government college in Bangladesh. After a relevant literature review, three Individual interviews and one Group Interview were used for collecting qualitative dataThe study has found that lack of ICT supporting resources in the institution, inadequate training facilities for the teachers as well as some other related intrinsic factors like teachers' satisfaction in working with ICT are the demotivating factors in the study area. Based on the findings, the study also suggests some ways to address the issue of teachers' motivation for using ICT in theirclasses.

Abstract: The primary objective of the educational process is the development of critical thinking. Today, educational institutions around the globe are realizing how crucial it is for students to improve their critical thinking abilities. Every person has access to a wealth of knowledge at his fingertips thanks to the internet and mobile computing devices in this era of information. Many people struggle to locate "write my essays" services. The ability to distinguish between true and untrue, pertinent and unimportant, and bias and impartial information is known as critical thinking. Success in this fiercely competitive world requires the ability to think creatively. All businesses are seeking someone with this competence since they are able to make wise decisions in pressure-filled scenarios.

Abstract: The contemporary methods used in education impose the need to implement frequent changes in the methods and the ways used to realize the teaching content, as well as the other types of activities in and out of school that present a tool for betterment of the quality of the whole educational process which effects reflect on the development of the character of every student. These kinds of methods require, before all else, a big engagement from the teachers and their full preparation to accept these changes as a challenge, which on the other hand it creates a necessity of their lifelong learning and continuous professional development. The changes that come out of the contemporary methods during a teaching process more frequently imposes the need to develop the medial-didactic competencies of the teachers. With one goal, which the teachers develop to the required level, a teacher needs to have a "strong" mental model which will go in favor of accepting and implementing the changes as an opportunity, not only that but also as a mission that comes out of the responsibility of the profession that they have chosen to do.
