Abstract

This study investigated the secondary school teachers’ knowledge and practice towards the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in teaching and learning process in Tanzania. The objectives were to investigate teachers’ knowledge on the use of ICT in teaching and learning and examine their practice on the use of ICT in classroom. The study used interview protocols, discussion and practical observations as instruments for data collection. Findings from the study showed that most secondary school teachers lacked proper knowledge of using ICT facilities in teaching and learning process. Although there were few ICT facilities in the visited schools but they were not enough compared to the presented number of teachers and students. The study concludes that, the effective use of ICT in teaching and learning process in Tanzania secondary schools can be achieved through cooperation among education stakeholders, including the Government, schools, teachers and parents.
