Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2011 in the subject Didactics - Computer Science, University of Twente (Behavioural Science), course: ICT in science and mathematics - Educational Science and Technology, language: English, abstract: This study investigated the ways through which pre-service science and mathematics teachers at Dar es Salaam University College of Education (DUCE) can acquire competencies for integrating technology pedagogy and content in teaching. Specifically the study investigated the preservice teachers’ ICT integration competencies; practices that can be effective in enhancing pre-service science and mathematics teachers’ competency in integrating technology, pedagogy and content; as well as the impact of those practices in the development of preservice teachers’ technological pedagogical content knowledge. An action research approach was employed in the study, employing the pre and post-intervention assessment of preservice teachers’ knowledge on technology, pedagogy and content. Planed interventions were carried out during the study, to enable preservice teachers to identify areas of weaknesses in their technology integration competencies, and propose alternative approaches for addressing the identified weaknesses. Student questionnaire, instructor interview and observation checklist were used to collect date before, during and after intervention. Researcher’s log book, digital camera and audio recorder were used in recording events and activities taking place during the study. Findings revealed that when preservice teachers engage in hands on activities such as microteaching, lesson design and the opportunity to share their ideas with peers, they easily developed their technological pedagogical content knowledge. An analysis of knowledge change after the intervention, showed a significant difference between pre-intervention and post intervention preservice teachers’ knowledge of TPACK. It is therefore concluded that, the adoption of hands on activities that uses technology and involve teachers in planning of what to teach, how to teach and with what technology to teach, and provision of an opportunity to share this plan with colleagues, can make a significant change in the development of TPACK among preservice teachers.

Download or read book Using ICT in Inquiry Based Science Education written by Geraldo W. Rocha Fernandes and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-21 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the main Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) used in science education and the main theoretical approaches that support science education mediated by ICT in order to show how digital technologies can be employed in Inquiry-Based Science Education. It presents the results of a comprehensive review of studies focusing both on the use and effects of digital technologies in science education and on the different theoretical approaches that support the use of ICTs in science teaching.By doing so, the book provides a useful summary of the current research in the field and a strong analysis of its limitations. It concludes that there are few studies that report strategies and didactics for the practical use of ICT in science classes and that the use of ICT in science education can’t be seen as an isolated action without a theoretical basis to support it. Based on these conclusions, the volume identifies the main ICTs used in inquiry activities, the main steps in inquiry activities used in science education and their approaches to the use of ICT. It shows that the use of ICT in Inquiry-Based Science Education allows students to develop more active work styles, improved attitudes towards science, better conceptual and theoretical understanding, improved reasoning, better modelling capabilities, and improved teamwork, along with improvements in other abilities. Using ICT in Inquiry-Based Science Education will be a valuable resource for science teachers and science teacher educators looking for an introductory text that presents an overview of the scientific research analyzing the implementation of digital technologies in science teaching and that provides useful insights to all educators interested in using digital technologies to introduce their students in the world of scientific inquiry and research.

This book was released on 2012-04 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study revealed the need for an intervention strategy in order to expand opportunities for both teachers and trainers to develop the capacity to integrate ICT in their teaching. This includes, acquisition of a generator to supplement hydro-electric power and additional ICT facilities, formulation of a policy for access to the facilities to increase the opportunity for teachers to interact with, and therefore learn about ICT usage. Additionally, there is need to develop and implement a detailed ICT integration action plan that is aligned with the national ICT integration framework, detailing out essential learning activities and the professional and technical resources. Finally, formulate a set of ICT competency standards to describe the trainers and teachers expertise and encourage both the teachers and trainers to take the initiative to acquire a personal laptop and modem and purpose to improve on ICT integration skills, by taking advantage of the many training opportunities for ICT-pedagogy integration available freely online

This book was released on 2002 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project focuses on improving pre-service and in-service teacher education for the long term goal of improved student learning in the fields of mathematics and science using Information and Communications Technology (ICT). It brings together evidence and experience in three vitally important areas: mathematics and science education; the use of ICT in education; and educating teachers in the use of ICT. The report explores the connections between the three areas and uses knowledge acquired about the current situation of relevant pre-service and in-service training in the participating countries to develop two models for future activity. These models have been designed to accommodate differences in education systems, national infrastructure and human and financial resources between and within countries in the region. [p.vi, ed]

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of Information and Communication Technology in the teaching of polynomial and algebraic functions by mathematics teachers in Zimbabwean schools. . The research targeted mathematics teachers and a sample of twenty teachers was selected from the four high schools in Masvingo City, Zimbabwe. A survey was conducted to study the barriers preventing the integration and adoption of information and communication technology (ICT) in teaching mathematics . The researcher identified five major barriers such as: lack of teacher training on the use of ICT in teaching mathematics, inaccessibility of computers for use in mathematics classrooms, computer anxiety, teaching for examinations and inadequate financial support to purchase these gadgets. The researcher also conducted a practical exercise with graphical calculators, where "A" level mathematics students were tasked to solve classical polynomial functions problems using both graphical calculators and algebraic methods. The results of the exercise reveal
