Abstract

This study examined the factors influencing the integration of ICTs in teaching/learning at Mukuju Core Primary Teachers’ College. Data were collected from staff and students at the College—using questionnaires and focus group discussions. The findings were that tutors’ and students’ conversance with ICTs, attitude towards the technologies and access to the internet influenced the former’s integration of ICTs in teaching/learning. Therefore, it is recommended that the tutors, and their students, be trained/retrained in the use of ICTs and that the College’s connectivity to the internet is improved.
