    Towards an ICT Integrated Management of School Curriculum: A Review of the Status in Secondary Schools in Uasin-Gishu and Nandi Counties, Kenya
    (Journal of Educational Policy and Entrepreneurial Research (JEPER), 2016) Dr. Kimosop, Maurice Kibet; Dr. Mulwa, David Musyoki
    This paper delvesinto the status of integration of ICTs in the management of the teachinglearning process in secondary schools in two counties of UasinGishu and Nandi in Kenya. The main objective of the study was to examine the nature of ICTs in the schools, the capacity of users, and the level of integration of ICTs. The study employed the descriptive survey design. A total of 342 educators comprising of 57 head teachers and 285 teachers from 63 secondary schools at various stages of ICT integration were selected. Purposive sampling was used to select the head teachers and schools with functional ICTs while the teachers were selected using stratified random sampling. Data was collected through a questionnaire and an interview schedule. Data was analyzed descriptively by use of SPSS programme version 17 for frequencies, means and percentages. The results indicated that there was an acute shortage of computers but the few available were easily accessible to users. There was a high level of utilization of ICTs for the purpose of management of exams whereas integration into curriculum delivery and decision making was low. Most respondents were only trained on basic introductory computer programmes but few had been trained on application programmes for teaching and management. The study recommended that acquisition of computers be enhanced and the training of ICT to focus more on specialized application skills rather than basic operational skills. Head teachers should source for ICTs that enhance the performance of curriculum management practices. It is hoped that the study will benefit education policy makers and head teachers in adopting effective ICT integration strategies in secondary schools

    The purpose of this study was to establish the relationship between headteachers’ level of integration of computers in the management of curriculum in secondary schools and their personal characteristics in Nandi and Uasin Gishu counties of Kenya. The study employed the descriptive survey research design. A total of 63 headteachers’ from 63 schools with functional ICTs were purposively selected. The data was collected by use of a questionnaire. Data was analysed by the use of Pearson Correlation and Multiple Regression Analysis. A significant relationship was found between the age of the headteacher, administrative experience and ICT training, and the level of integration of computers. Gender and academic qualification were found not to be significantly related to level of ICT intergration.
