Abstract:
The study assessed the integration of information and communication technology in
teaching and learning using data from senior high schools in the Awutu Senya District in
Ghana. Simple random sampling technique was used to select teachers in the District. In
all, one hundred and ten teachers were selected for the study. Self-administered
questionnaire was used as an instrument for the study. SPSS version 20.0 was the
software’s used for the data analysis. Frequency tables and pie charts were also used in
presenting the data. Conclusions from relevant related literature were captured along to
authenticate the findings of the study. The findings revealed that most of the teachers’
attitude influences their integration of ICT in teaching. This was revealed among other
factors through teachers desire to use ICT tools and the frequency with which these tools
were used. it was further revealed that most of the teachers used in the study have
received training on ICT before and it influences their decision to integrate them in their
teaching. The findings further showed that majority of the teachers do not have time to
prepare for their teaching using ICT tools because of their workload. The study
concluded that the use of ICT has not been adequately integrated into teaching and
learning in the district.
