dc.description.abstract | Adoption of computers in schools has been recognized as a way of making the education process more efficient,
richer and relevant. The Kenyan Ministry of Education is committed in the adoption of ICT in learning and teaching.
The implementation process of the project has been slow and has been attributed to lack of preparedness. This slow
pace has been blamed on level of school preparedness in adoption of laptop in learning and teaching process.
However, no empirical study has been conducted to explain this. The present study asssessed competency of
teachers in teaching using computers. It employed discipline survey study design with a target population of the
study was 1495 subjects from 17 Public Primary Schools. The sample size was 312 respondents consisting six
headteachers sampled purposively, 42 teachers sampled randomly and 264 pupils sampled using stratified random
sampling. The study used questionnaire for headteachers and teachers. The overall mean for the teachers’
competency in adoption of laptops for teaching and learning was 2.45. This implies that majority of the Public
Primary School teachers disagreed that their schools were prepared in terms of teachers’ competency in adoption of
laptop for teaching and learning. | en_US |
