Hello!
A
joint survey instrument was designed to solicit the status of the teachers on
technology integration at the school, and the findings were aggregated which
form the basis of summing up this report. This report presents the key specific
actions that could be taken to support the teachers in the process of
technology integration. These actions become barriers to ICT integration if not
well addressed immediately
Identify
the specific actions you could take to support the needs of teachers in
technology integration.
(i)
acquisition
of computers (desk top, laptops etc); there is this problem of lack of access
to computers;
(ii)
Resistance
to change and negative attitude of teachers;
(iii)
Teachers
have lots of periods in a week; there is simply no time for ICT.
(iv)
Training
sessions on the use of computer; limitations of the teacher ICT knowledge makes
them feel anxious about using ICT in the class room in front of children who
perhaps know more than they do.
(v)
Personal
reinforcement (deficiency of teacher self-assurance caused by fear of failing)
(vi)
Training
facilitators;
(vii)
infrastructure
and appropriate training places
Possible
recommendations to teachers and schools, Ministry of Education and Sports and
other service providers.
Recommendations
on lack
of access to computer and computer services
(i)
Enjoying
and taking advantage of the available means offered by college or school,
(ii)
Having
access to ICT means at one’s own home;
(iii)
The
school at any cost should provide for furnished ICT assets including components
as well as computer software.
Recommendations
on teacher’s
resistance to change
(i)
Being
tolerant in the direction of fresh methods for education
(ii)
Become
involved in training in brand new pedagogic techniques
Recommendations
on lack
of time for teachers to particpate in ICT integtation
(i)
Acquiring
expertise and skills regarding self-organisation and time period managements;
(ii)
Ministry
should provide sufficient time by reducing the number of teacher lessons in a
week eg from 24hrs to 16hrs a week
Recommendations
on lack
of training for teachers
(i)
Preparing
themselves by self training;
(ii)
Trying
out prospects pertaining to instructions and training opportunities provided at
schools and colleges;
(iii)
Finding
out how to access resources from where they are;
(iv)
The
institutions concerned should provide training courses in working with the new
gadgets, contemporary technology, and completely new pedagogic techniques.
Recommendations
on lack
of training facilitators/instructors
(i)
Accessing
available support;

Providing
continued technical support
