Teachers Experience On The Integration Of Tablets In Primary School Education
Abstract
Information and communications technology (ICT) is a matter of everyday life and has a key
role to play in education. The ICT Integration into primary education (Digital Learning
programme), which is one of the main program that the Kenyan government highlighted in
2013 in order to align student learning and teaching in primary schools. This paper examines
teachers’ experiences with integration of tablets in education in primary schools. The main
objectives of the study generate insights into teacher views not only on engagement and
motivation but on how tablets are used to support education and what they perceive as their
educational benefits and limitations. The target population is Kenya's public primary schools,
so class six teachers from Kalawa Primary School are the sample of this study. From the data
summarized using SPSS V 23 software to evaluate the quantitative information, the findings
of the regression assessment verify the correlation between the factors as described in the
model. The model shows a difference of 96% showing how behavioral intent to use depends
on perceived behavioral control while attitude and subjective standards account for the
remaining 3.4%. The results show that 80,4% (experience with the teacher) of the real use
depended on the intent of behavior. The results also show that portability in tablets was
responsible for the behavior control perceived by the teachers. The research also proposes
growing numbers of participants and a comparison should be developed between distinct
groups of teachers in classrooms to determine whether the results are comparable.
Keywords: Teachers experience, Behavioral intention to use, Attitude, Teachers, Tablet
