Use of Information Communication Technology in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics: Insights During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Zimbabwe
Abstract
The purpose of the chapter was to evaluate use of ICT in STEM teaching and learning in teacher education during the COVID-19 pandemic in Zimbabwe. A quasi-experimental research design with five teachers' colleges and five universities was used. A posttest and a pretest were given to 220 learners before and after the intervention of ICT tools such as Google classroom and smartphones. Findings show that lecturers prefer the use of simple social media gadgets to deliver lectures in colleges and universities. There is a strong relationship between use of ICT and performance by learners tested at 5% significance level (P<0.005). The chapter concludes that lack of knowledge, skills, application of integrated functions contained in the ICT gadget has resulted in its poor teaching and learning in colleges and universities. Teacher education lecturers are trained on the use of ICT tools and how it can be used for teaching and learning in colleges and universities.
