With the education systems demand of contemporary technologies, teacher trainees should be
imparted with competencies and skills to integrate information and communication technology
(ICT) into their future teaching and learning practices. This study assessed classroom ICTs
integration opportunities and the challenges in relation to Technological Pedagogical and Content
Knowledge (TPACK) and SAMR (Substitute, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition)
models. The case study involved tutors and teacher trainees (N=206) from teacher training
colleges. Results indicated that, majority of respondents have low pedagogical ICT
competencies. However, tutors exhibited good knowledge level in all TPACK and SAMR
constructs that we assessed, teacher trainees’ revealed poor skills and inefficient support on the
use of basic ICTs (hardware, software, and associated peripherals). The impacts of TPACK and
SAMR models characteristics related to the technology use planning and redesign of learning
tasks was evident. Most of the challenges identified were associated to the lack of infrastructures,
readiness to change and lack of competencies on pedagogical ICTs applications. Among others,
we recommend the government to work on a harmonized ICT in education integration
framework; that consider the existing opportunities and challenges facing Tanzania teacher
training systems. Further work should focus on carrying out an experimental research design to
unlock the existing ICT use realities. |
