ASSESSING TEACHERS’ KNOWLEDGE IN ICT USAGE FOR LESSON PREPARATION AND DELIVER...AkashSharma618775
Generally, it is agreed that information and communication technology (ICT) promotes easier planning
and preparation of lessons; helps teachers to have access to up-to-date learners and school data anytime and
anywhere. This is especially significant in this Covid era where hybrid education is being promoted. Therefore,
this study investigated the knowledge of basic school teachers in the Kassena-Nankana Municipality in the use of
ICT for lesson preparation and delivery. One hundred and two (102) out of five hundred and ten (510) basic school
teachers were sampled using the simple random sampling technique for the study. A questionnaire and an
observation checklist were used to collect data from the teachers. Data were coded into the IBM-SPSS version 21
to generate descriptive statistics (frequency counts and percentages) for the analyses. Findings from the study
revealed that 92.2% of basic school teachers in the Kassena-Nankana Municipality agreed that ICT is a diverse set
of technological tools and resources used to communicate and to create, disseminate, store and manage
information. The basic school teachers were of the view that the use of ICT in lesson delivery comes with lots of
benefits to their classroom instructional practices. The findings further revealed that basic school teachers in the
municipality have basic knowledge in ICT use but do not use this knowledge in their lesson delivery due to factors
such as constant changes in technology, cost of ICT tools, limited time allocation for ICT lessons in the schools,
technical nature of ICT, lack of ICT laboratories, and network facilities in schools for teachers and students. The
study recommended that more time should be allocated for the teaching of ICT in basic schools and also, basic
school teachers should be given constant ICT training through workshops and refresher courses to boost their
competencies in using ICT in their lesson preparation and classroom instructional practices.

Abstract.
In today’s new economy characterized by industrial change, globalization, increased intensive competition, knowledge sharing and transfer, and information technology revolution, traditional classroom education or training does not always satisfy all the needs of the new world of lifelong learning. Learning is shifting from instructor-centered to learner-centered, and is undertaken anywhere, from classrooms to homes and offices. E-Learning, referring to learning via the Internet, provides people with a flexible and personalized way to learn. It offers learning-on-demand opportunities and reduces learning cost. This paper describes the demands for e-Learning and related research, and presents a variety of enabling technologies that can facilitate the design and implementation of e-Learning systems. Armed with the advanced information and communication technologies, e-Learning is having a far-reaching impact on learning in the new millennium.
An Assessment of the Availability of ICT Infrastructure for Curriculum Instru...iosrjce
The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) into the curriculum has
become a necessity worldwide. The education system does not only pursue the integration of ICT into the
curriculum because of its popularity in the market system, but because of the role it is perceived to play in the
changing curriculum (encourages active construction of knowledge). This paper undertakes an assessment of
the availability of ICT infrastructure for curriculum instruction based on a study of public secondary schools in
Mumias sub-County in Kakamega County, Kenya. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. The target
population comprised head teachers, teachers and students in public secondary schools in Mumias sub-County.
Schools were selected using stratified random sampling technique while students’ sample size was determined
using Kathuri and Pals formula. Head teachers and heads of computer departments were purposively selected.
Questionnaire, structured interview schedule and content analysis were the main instruments of data collection
for the study. Two sets of questionnaire were prepared, one for the students and the other for the teachers. The
structured interview schedule was used to solicit information from the head teachers. Both qualitative and
quantitative data were collected for the study. Qualitative data was analyzed descriptively. Analyzed data was
presented in form of cumulative frequency tables, percentages and graphs. The study established that the main
ICT facilities in place in most schools in Mumias sub-County were radio for interactive radio instruction and
computers. The radios available in the studied secondary schools were however inadequate. A majority of the
examined secondary schools had an average computer to learner ratio of 30:1. The study recommended that the
Ministry of Education should hasten the development of ICT policy to ensure that teachers practice what is in
line with the ministry’s expectations, schools should involve their governing bodies to facilitate provision of ICT
infrastructure and that concerned departments within the Ministry of Education should conduct regular and
differentiated ICT teacher trainings.
This document discusses the history and development of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) and information and communications technology (ICT). It describes three phases of CALL: behavioristic CALL using drill and practice, communicative CALL using programs to practice skills in a non-drill format and stimulate discussion, and integrative CALL combining multimedia like audio and video with internet tools for communication and accessing authentic materials. It then examines ICT's role in economic development and increasing access in developing countries, challenges of accessibility, and issues of usability, security, and the dominance of English online.

Educational satellites can deliver learning materials to remote students and enable two-way communication between students and teachers. Some educational satellites that have been used include INSAT in India since 1982 for broadcasting educational TV programs. Radio instruction and television broadcasts have also been used successfully for out-of-school education. The internet allows access to vast information and transforms two-way communication, while email facilitates communication between students, researchers, and for administration purposes. Teleconferencing enables two-way audio and one-way video communication across locations, while telephone lines have been used for tutoring and counseling. While computers showed promise for instruction, their role requires further study on appropriate placement and objectives.
This document discusses the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in language education. It covers:
- ICT can be built on four components: computing, communications, content, and human capacity.
- ICT refers to the convergence of audio-visual, telephone, and computer networks through a single cable system, with economic incentives to merge these systems.
- ICT can promote universal access to education, equity, quality learning and teaching, teacher development, and more efficient education management and administration according to UNESCO.
This document discusses a study that evaluated three synchronous technologies for combining e-health and e-learning: 1) interactive satellite television, 2) videoconferencing, and 3) webcasting. The study found that satellite TV and videoconferencing had limited accessibility due to specialized equipment requirements, while webcasting was most accessible through the Internet. Webcasting was identified as the most feasible synchronous method for a shared e-learning environment for students and patients. Further investigation is still needed to study potential benefits of combining e-health and e-learning.

Abstract: This study highlights on the findings of a survey study which was done in some schools within one of the sub-counties in Kenya. Evidence has been collected through a literature review, teacher questionnaires and interviews. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the existing factors that support or hinder teachers from utilizing ICTs in their classrooms despite having them. This study was guided by the theory of Technology acceptance model by Davis, Bagozzi and Warshaw, (1989).The study reviewed literature on the importance of the use of ICTs in teaching and learning. Descriptive survey is the framework that guided the study. The study area is Kericho County in Kenya. Analysis of data was done thematically to exhibit the attitudes, values and views of the teachers concerning the usefulness of ICTs in teaching and also the factors that hinder utilization ICTs. Descriptive statistics was also used to analyze data from questionnaires. The literature analyzed shows that ICTs are very important in the following areas: they make the lessons more interesting, easier, more fun for teachers and their pupils, more diverse, more motivating for the pupils and more enjoyable. Additional more personal factors were improving presentation of materials, allowing greater access to computers for personal use, giving more power to the teacher in the school, giving the teacher more prestige, making the teachers' administration more efficient and providing professional support through the Internet. The findings from this study reveals that factors hindering the utilization of this precious teaching materials includes, lack of clarity in the use of this ICTs in the curriculum, time factor, incompetence among the teachers on computer skills, overreliance on traditional methods of teaching and resistance to change.
