ABSTRACT

The use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in teaching and learning activities has been essential to all education system in the world. Despite its importance the use of ICT in teaching and learning activities is still less emphasized in Tanzania secondary schools. Teachers still concentrate on teaching through traditional approach. This study was aimed at assessing the viability of using video content to teach geography at secondary school level. The findings from the study indicated that students perform better in traditional approach compared to video content approach. However, the difference observed was very minor. Further more, the findings indicated that students have positive attitude towards the use of video content in learning geography. Basing on the findings, it is concluded that, the use of video content in teaching and learning activities still carry significant importance to the secondary school students. Hence there is a need of integrating this approach instead of focusing on face to face learning only. This study recommends the following; the government should be ready to develop knowledge of teachers on using ICT facilities in preparing teaching and learning activities to the students through in-service training and providing them with learning resources. Second, for syllabus designers, it is vital for them to include the use of video in geography course books or teaching materials. These course books should contain video content in VCD, or DVD‟s format for the topics in the book. The researcher also considers that more research should be done on this topic.
