The study investigated on the use of Information and Communication (ICT) as
apedagogical tool in primary schools in Tanzania. Theoretical adoption modal was
used to guide the thinking of this study. Thes study employed the qualitative research
approach with a case study design. The sample included 50 pupils, 10 teachers, 2
head teachers, one (1) Ward Education Officer and the District Education Officer,
making a total number of 62 paticipants. Data were collected through interviews,
observations and documentary review. The findings indicated that teachers were able
to use the ICT as a pedagogical tool in facilitating teaching and learning in selected
primary schools which was counted as a great success attributed to teacher’s
workshop capacity building and ICT enhanced learning environment. It was also
found that ICT enhanced the quality of education by increasing pupils’ motivation
and engagement in learning, facilitating the acquisition of basic skills, improved and
promising performance, and maximizing retention of knowledge among pupils. The
study concludes that although the use of ICT as a pedagogical tool in teaching and
learning in primary schools is important, there were some challenges that impeded its
application, such a shortage of consistent internet connectivity, computers, teachers’
regular training and technical support. The study recommends to have regular
training for teachers and that there is a need of a supportive ICT infrastructure
investment in primary schools so as to make a use of ICT as a pedagogical tool in
teaching and learning in primary schools a reality. |
