| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to examine the challenges in using ICT among secondary school teachers in Yeka Sub-city, Addis Ababa City Administration. Furthermore, the study investigated the opportunities teachers obtain in using ICT. A descriptive survey design with a mixed methods approach was employed. Four public secondary schools were selected deliberately based on their location to address each corner of the sub-city. A systematic random sampling technique was employed to identify 201 sample teachers for the questionnaire. A purposive sampling technique is used to select school principals, and a comprehensive sampling technique was employed for ICT teachers' selection. As a result, four school principals, one from each sample school for interviews, and all ICT teachers in the sampled four schools were incorporated into the study in focus group discussion. The data obtained from the questionnaire was analyzed using percentage and mean as statistical methods. Focus group discussions and interviews were analyzed thematically in narrative form. The finding showed that the availability and use of computers, LCD projectors, videos, printers, laptops, smartphones, plasma televisions, and the internet were inadequate. The lack of internet connectivity; fluctuation (interruption) of power supply; high cost of hardware and software; computers being very old and slow; and computer illiteracy among teachers were the secondary challenges teachers encountered. Besides, lack of support to develop the spirit of collegiality and lack of encouragement to teachers for their own self-professional improvement were also considered as the major problems related to supervisory practices. Based on this, it was recommended that the City Administration Education Bureau should take appropriate measures, including the supply of adequate materials and professional support to the Sub-city as well as the schools. The provision should also include providing ICT laboratories with the necessary accessories to provide modern ICT education in schools, as well as providing administrative support for ICT teachers to fill gaps in their knowledge, roles, and skills required by the profession, so that they can better assist learners and improve the quality of their learning. | en_US |
