THE PEDAGOGICAL READINESS OF INSTRUCTORS TOWARDS ACHIEVING INTEGRATION OF ICTS IN TVET INSTITUTIONS IN KENYA
Abstract
This paper points to the necessity to conduct research on the pedagogical
readiness of instructors towards achieving integration of ICT’s in Technical and Vocational
Education and Training (TVET) institutions in Kenya.Research on the integration of ICTs in
teaching and learning in TVET institution in Kenya have been done to improve the learning
process, though very little progress has been recognized toward its effective
integration.TVET subsector have revealed that in spite of the many efforts that researchers
and educators put over the years in preparing teachers in the educational uses of ICTs,
teachers still lack the Pedagogical skills and knowledge needed to be able to teach with
ICT technology successfully. The aim of the study was to investigate the Effect of
Pedagogical readiness on Effective Integration of ICTs in TVET institution in Kenya with
specific reference to Michuki and Thika Technical Training Institute in Murang’a and
Kiambu County respectively. The relationship between Effective Integration and
Pedagogical readiness is significant, the correlation coefficient, R, is 0.863. Therefore,
Effectively Integrationis positively correlated with Pedagogical readiness and the
relationship is very strong.Teacher’s Technical education institutions need to develop
strategies and plans to enhance the teaching learning process within teacher education
programmes and to assure that all future teachers are well prepared to use the ICTs tools
for learning.
