Abstract
Technology has become a vital tool in teaching and learning, realising a paradigm of learner centred instruction for diverse learners. The use and integration of ICT into education, which is the focus of this study, is stated as one of the five distinct development areas in the use of ICT (MoE, 2005). In order to meet the requirements of Level 2 according to ICT policy for education, NAMCOL adopted a strategy to enhance ICT integration in teaching to this effect. NAMCOL invested resources in establishing computer laboratories at selected tuition centres. Against this background, the study investigated how the Science tutors integrated ICT in their teaching at the NAMCOL centres, the tutors’ perception of ICT and the main barriers for integrating ICT in teaching at NAMCOL centres. The study was guided by Rogers’ theory of diffusion and adopted a qualitative case study design to investigate the integration of ICT in Science teaching at NAMCOL centres as well as the perceptions of the Science tutors of ICT integration. Four NAMCOL centres which met the criteria of purposive sampling were selected to participate in this study. Semi- structured interviews and observations were the research tools used in the study. Data were analysed by coding and classifying the data into meaningful themes and patterns.
