Based on the results, recommendations were made for improving ICT training programs for lecturers. These recommendations included providing hands-on workshops, ongoing support and mentoring, access to relevant resources and tools, and collaboration among lecturers to share best practices. The study emphasized the significance of empowering lecturers with ICT skills in preparing future primary school teachers for the digital era.
