Özet:

 

In this study we interrogated disablers and enablers in the uptake of Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) in five rural primary schools in Mwinilunga district. A qualitative research methodology and descriptive research design were applied. Interview schedule and Focused Group Discussions were used as research instruments to interrogate the research problem. Findings of the study reviewed that the teaching of the ICT component particularly in Creative and Technology Studies in rural schools of Mwinilunga district faced a lot of challenges such as lack of ICTs equipment, poor internet connectivity, limited skilled human resource and lack of supportive infrastructure. To overcome the disablers, various strategies were applied by schools such as use of personal cell phones as teaching devises, use of zonal schools for capacity building points in ICTs and use of ICT expert teachers as resource persons among others. The study recommends that Government should provide enough computers and computer facilities in schools through collaborations with other education stake holders, Government through Ministry General Education should train more teachers in ICT teaching methodologies and should provide all schools with power supply so that teachers in rural areas can implement effectively the teaching of Information Communication.
