Teachers' attitude towards Information Communication Technology (ICT) integration in teaching and learning of History at Ordinary and Advanced Level schools in the Chitungwiza District
This study investigates the teachers' attitude towards the integration of ICT in the teaching and learning of History in Chitungwiza district at Ordinary and Advanced Level. The objectives of the study were: O Assess the accessibility of ICT to History teachers' and how they have integrated them to teaching and learning The three schools showed that they did not have sufficient ICT tools such as laptops and projectors to use in the teaching and learning of History. The teachers' and students had to rely on personal gadgets for example smartphones and this has contributed in the attitude of teachers. Teachers' showed a positive attitude towards integrating ICT in teaching and learning however, their major obstacle was of having poor or lack of ICT infrastructure. Some did not have the knowledge of ICT but were willing to learn the required skills to integrate ICT in teaching and learning. The future of ICT integration in teaching and learning of History is promising to be bright. The researcher recommends a progress report to be done to establish whether the ICT infrastructure in teaching and learning of History in the Chitungwiza District has improved to enable the integration of ICT in line with the requirements of the New Curriculum adopted in 2017. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my gratitude to my fellow colleagues in the Department of History, other staff members and the Headmaster at Zengeza 1 High School for their support and guidance. I extend my gratitude to other teachers' from surrounding schools in Chitungwiza that assisted me to gather the data for my research and Mr Bhukuvhani who supervised my work. Lastly, I thank God for making this project a success. TABLE OF CONTENTS Release form..i Approval Form..ii Abstract..iii Acknowledgements..iv Tables of
