ICT Integration in Secondary School Teaching And Learning: An Analysis of the Mauritian Context.
Get PDFThe integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) into the
teaching and learning process has become the major focus worldwide. It is clear that
students now expect ICT to be part of their learning experience. The purpose of this study
was to determine the level of ICT integration in the teaching and learning process among
secondary educators in Mauritius and explore their attitudes towards ICT integration. The
Diffusion of Innovation theory (Rogers, 1995) served as the main theoretical framework
for this study.
A quantitative research design was used in this study. The constructs are namely:
usage of ICT in daily lives, perceived competence, ICT integration, attitudes, barriers and
early or late adopters. The data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential
statistics for the quantitative data. To complement the findings and for triangulation
purposes, semi structured interviews were conducted. A thematic approach was adopted
to analyze the data. The findings confirmed those reported in the literature. A majority of
educators have adequate knowledge of using ICT. Mauritian secondary educators’
attitudes towards ICT integration from highest to lowest in mean scores were:
observability, relative advantage, complexity, and compatibility. They had moderate
positive computer competence. However, low level of ICT supported teaching due to lack
of infrastructure facilities and resources were found. The educators require training on
ICT integrated pedagogical approaches. Educators indicated that the lack of time, their
uncertainty, the unsuitable curriculum, the problematic access to equipment, the frequent technical problems and the lack of immediate technical support are some of
the most significant factors affecting ICT use. Nevertheless, the study shows that there is
a positive ground on which ICT can be successfully and meaningfully integrated in
schools if educators have positive ICT attitudes and have quality ICT training. A profile
of the Mauritian educators is presented and recommendations based on the research
findings are discussed.
The ongoing reform of the educational system provides a great opportunity to
set up the right conditions that will facilitate the sound integration of ICT in secondary
schools in Mauritius
Factors Influencing the Use of Social Media as Main Communication Channel: A Study among the Digital Immigrant Employees of Genting Malaysia Berhad.
Get PDFGenting Malaysia Berhad (GENM) is the largest integrated resort operator in Malaysia and is exploring the viability of using social media as a primary channel for communication and collaboration among its employees. Currently, GENM employees are already using social media but in an unofficial capacity using different social media sites. GENM management is interested to find out what caused the adoption in order to ensure successful implementation of an official enterprise wide social media tool within the organization. Additionally, GENM is also concerned on the adoption ability of older employees as there is a perception that these employees are more technologically challenged than the younger employees. This research then extended the use of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) to explain the factors contributing to the adoption and use of social media in GENM focusing on the older workers. In this research, older workers are referred as digital immigrants. The design adopted by this research is quantitative and data were collected from 243 respondents listed as GENM employees and categorically qualified as digital immigrants. It is found that social influence is the strongest predictor with a regression estimate of 0.592 followed by performance expectancy with regression estimate of 0.388 of behavioral intention in using social media in GENM. While effort expectancy and facilitating conditions had an insignificant effect with p-value greater than 0.05. Overall, the study’s empirical results confirmed the theoretical model by predicting 73.3% of the behavioral intention to use social media in GENM
