Chronicling Information Communication Technology into Teaching and Learning in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the integration of Information Communication Technology (ICT) during the teaching and learning encounter in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. The study employed a qualitative approach guided by a case study design. The population of the study comprised teachers of one secondary school and its feeder schools in the OR Tambo inland district. The sample size for this study was three principals and nine computer teachers of the senior secondary school and its two feeder schools. An open-ended interview schedule was used for the face-to-face, in-depth interviews on the extent of the implementation of computer integration into teaching and learning in the selected schools in the OR Tambo inland district. Schools must enable a culture of computer-integrated teaching and learning to meet diverse needs. ICT integration training, competence and appropriate software and materials need to be attended to in a considerable way.
