Analysis of The Effect of Integrating ICT In The Teaching Process in Primary Schools In Kisumu County

Abstract

ABSTRACT In September 2006 the Ministry of Education (MOE)introduced Information and Communication Technology (ICT)syllabus in curriculum of Primary 1Teacher (PIT) education, to equip the teacher trainees with understanding of ICT skills, tools and devices, that were supposed to enhance teaching of various subjects in Primary schools. This was informed by important decisions arising from several policy papers and reports done by the Government of Kenya in collaboration with donors/development partners, aimed at enhancing ICT use in improving teaching process efficiency in Kenya.This thesis therefore, presents results based on comparison of teaching process efficiency between teachers with ICT skills, who integrate ICT in teaching process and teachers without ICT skills in primary schools in Kisurnu City. The research tested the effect of integrating ICT in teaching process. Equal proportions of teachers withICT skills and those without ICT skills were sampled making up 102 respondents. The data collected using questionnaire administration to teachers in selected Primary schools was analyzed. The deductions from the results led to rejection of the null hypothesis; that there was no difference in teaching process efficiency between teachers with ICT skills and teachers without lCT skills. The alternative hypothesis; that teachers with leT skills were more efficient than teachers without lCT skills was hence accepted. A binomial regression equation was therefore modelled.
