KNOWLEDGE AND SELF-EFFICACY OF TEACHERS INTEGRATION OF ICT INTO BASIC INSTRUCTION

Abstract

The use of technology in education has become an unstoppable force in recent years. However, its usefulness largely depends on the success of its integration into teaching and learning. Unfortunately, the majority of teachers do not incorporate it into their classes. The study aimed to test teachers’ knowledge and self-efficacy belief towards integrating Information Communication Technology into teaching and learning at the elementary level. In particular, this research focuses on Junior High Schools in the Kumbungu District of Northern Ghana. The study adopted a qualitative research approach. The results showed that the teachers had high knowledge about ICT and strong positive self-efficacy beliefs on ICT integration into the delivery of their lessons.
