Constraints and opportunities of using information and communications technology to support teachinh and learning of Physical Sciences in Sekhukhune East District. . .https://univendspace.univen.ac.za/handle/11602/2764M.Ed. (Curriculum Studies)Department of Educational StudiesIncorporating technology into teaching and learning allows teachers and learners to enhance their collaboration and performance within the educational setting. ICT limitations can act as a barrier for educators in utilising technology in the classroom and hinder their ability to incorporate additional resources using ICT. Challenges to the implementation of ICT in teaching Physical Sciences prevent teachers and learners from the benefits of online learning and access to learning materials in classrooms. In the modern era, the integration of ICT in the classroom is crucial, as it allows learners to develop skills in navigating, analysing and understanding information through online platforms and collaborative interactions with their peers. The study explored the constraints and opportunities of using technology to support the teaching and learning of Physical Science in Sekhukhune East District Limpopo Province. This qualitative research used observations and semi-structured interviews where the respondents, comprising principals, teachers and learners from sampled secondary schools in Sekhukhune East District participated. Identifying challenges related to using ICT in high school settings can help teachers address barriers in the classroom and ultimately become more proficient in integrating technology into their teaching practices. Utilising a qualitative research approach alongside an interpretative paradigm enabled the study to explore the profound, subjective meanings of participants experiences. This improved the understanding of the limitations of teaching Physical Sciences with the help of ICT resources. Purposive sampling methods were used to choose participants in order to align with the characteristics of a quantitative research approach. Data were further examined and interpreted using the theoretical framework of Actor Network Theory to better understand it.1 online resource (xiv, 162 leaves)enUniversity of VendaInformation and Communication TechnologiesUCTDEffective TeachingLearningICT ResourcesRural SchoolsConstraints and opportunities of using information and communications technology to support teachinh and learning of Physical Sciences in Sekhukhune East DistrictDissertationMamphye VM.
