Dear Hasnain, I could not easily find a reference that points to academics' disapproval of using technology in teaching. When I changed my search terms to include beliefs, I   found some references, but they slant more towards the (eventual) adoption of technology.  It seems as if it is commonly accepted that we use technology so much in our daily lives that teaching staff may find it difficult to compete with the easy accessibility of information that technology offers.

ICT, at higher education can help in enhancing the learning .But at lower level ,especially, at primary level ICT has to be used with caution. At the initial stage the child is to learn  one or two languages, maths and general awareness about social structure around him/her and occurrence of natural phenomena. For language , child has to recognize and write alphabets which can be learnt only by the efforts of teacher  by writing the letters on board and drawing the attention of child on board.The child will follow the way of writing of teacher and practice that at home also. This will help in recognizing also. There is need of  establishing faith of child in teacher for following and copying him/her . The same approach is required for recognizing numbers and writing them. In such a situation, ICT can be of very little use. A number  of academicians discourage use of computer at primary level.

I agree with Dr. Unegerer that this is more nuanced an issue. I'd encourage you to look at some of Selwyn's work for critical perspectives on the advantages, disadvantages, rhetoric v reality, etc. See: https://www.monash.edu/education/research/profiles/profile.html?sid=4146047&pid=7413

Disapproval is a relative concept and use og ICT is a wide one. Still, if you look at the research of Hattie, http://visible-learning.org/hattie-ranking-influences-effect-sizes-learning-achievement/, you probably find that both "old school teaching" and "ICT" has relatively low effect, while the more modern student tailored education has high effect. Then it is important to acknowledge that ICT can be an important tool in tailoring both goals and means to the student. But then the teacher/tutor has to be in dialogue with the student - which might be better to do "the old school way".   

The attached gives both sides of issues regarding technology and flexible learning environments that may be helpful to your question, at least the down side of technology.

Dear Hasnain, it is implied  in some of the above posts that we should not use technology for technology's sake and that proper technology integration may be required. The embedded link may add to the conversation.

i appreciate the valuable answers that you fellow researchers have provided. my discourse on this issue have been broadly enhanced. I am working on the resources provided in the answers in my question.

Dear Hasnain,

Technology has been proven to augment learning, however at a closer look into the classroom set-up, especially in the Philippines, technology available seems to distract students attention to the activities. That is why at some point, handheld phone are prohibited in the classroom. Teachers however, were trained to use technology to enhance learning and instruction.

Current global orientation is towards integrating ICT and web-based technologies into the teaching-learning process. It is hard to find arguments against ICT or technology use in education. However, the only salient point is that face-to-face interactions can never be replaced by technology since it has its own merits/strengths. That's why A BLENDED-LEARNING approach has come to the scene. It is viewed by many educators as a compromising learning solution that tries to make use of both learning modes to achieve a better outcome. Under the umbrella of Blended Learning (especially, the RATIONALE explaining why it is recommended), you might find arguments that support the use of face-to-face mode for specific purposes. Good luck with this! Mahmoud
