| dc.description.abstract | Despite growing global awareness and importance of Information
Communications Technologies OCT), little has been done regarding
introduction of ICT in rural schools as a new way of creating path for learners
and educators to engage in information selection, gathering, sorting and
analysis.
This study explores the status/role of ICT in rural Setlakgobi schools by
examining the needs, and support for school managers, and other senior
managers in managing the integration of computers and related resources into
teaching and learning activities in their schools. It researches five key
problematic areas, namely, understanding context, clarifying purpose,
identifying values, setting goals and developing vision.
The study amongst other things identifies lack of resources, language barrier,
technical know how, and staff development as the main challenges of providing
modern technologies to rural school in order to enhance quality of learning and
teaching. Hence, the need to fast-track the e-learning by developing South
African languages, providing physical and human resources, and support for
professional development of educators in ICT. | en |
