Module 9 Activity 6: Survey Results

Based on the survey carried out at my School, the following conclusion was arrived at:

•  The teachers at my school are halfway between the "Adoption Stage" and the "Adaptation Stage" of the five stages of Professional Development.
•  The majority of teachers do have a vision for the use of ICT in the classroom. They have been using some form of ICT related technology in the classroom (some more than others) based on their ICT level competency. These include PowerPoint presentations, YouTube videos, the Internet and Word processing and Excel programs.
•  Teachers have been discovering the potential which ICT offers to enhance the teaching and learning process in terms of productivity. They have moved from only using ICT for research and administrative purposes to one of pedagogical means i.e. using ICT as a tool to teach.
•  There is a need for training of teachers in the use of ICT and ICT related technologies so that they can begin to integrate it more in their teaching.

In examining the survey results in the presentations of my colleagues, it is noticed that there are two common factors which resonate throughout the results. They are:

•  There is a need for Training among teachers in the use of ICT.

•  There is a need for the development/improvement of the Infrastructure so that ICT can be properly integrated in all schools.
