The level of ICT-driven collaboration during the teaching and learning process in Rwandan secondary schools
Abstract
Regardless of the investment that has been made in terms of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education in Rwanda secondary schools, poor performance in science subjects is still an issue. Therefore, this study examined teachers' perceptions on ICT-driven collaboration during teaching and learning. It investigated the collaborative tools used by students and the challenges they encounter. The study primarily utilized a descriptive survey with structured questionnaires. The data were collected from a sample of 10 Deputy Head Teachers, 40 science teachers, and 354 ordinary level high school students across the 10 selected schools in Rwanda. The study revealed that over 60% of science and basic computing teachers use online platforms for knowledge sharing and professional development. However, the findings revealed limited collaboration in designing ICT-led learning activities and using cloud storage for sharing teaching materials. Limited ICT skills, a lack of ICT gadgets, and unreliable internet connectivity contribute to students rarely or never using ICT collaborative tools.
