ICT Integration programme contributes to the Kenya Education Sector Support Programme (KESSP 2005 - 2010). KESSP joins ministries, donors, NGOs and other partners for improved quality of education in Kenya. A Ministerial ICT integration team has been set up and is responsible for the coordination and harmonization of all ICT initiatives within KESSP. The VVOB ICT integration programme partners with the Kenyan Ministry of Education in two subprogramme components: ICT Integration in education and capacity building. The subprogramme of ICT integration in education is cross cutting and works with all directorates and units within the Ministry of Education. The education sector in Kenya is still in its infancy in the inclusion and use of ICT. To integrate ICT appropriately in order to increase the quality of education, technology and teaching methods and education should go hand in hand. VVOB pursues an integrated approach and we simultaneously work with several national institutions that have mandates to strengthen the capacity of education managers at different levels, as well as that of teachers.

1. ICT-INTEGRATION IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN KENYA:
FROM A COMMON UNDERSTANDING (2011)
TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION (2013)
Jo Tondeur (Ghent University)
Interactive Workshop in Nairobi / VVOB/ (May, 2013)

2. HOW DOES THE PD PROGRAMME SUPPORT THE
PARTICIPATING SCHOOLS’ CAPACITY BUILDING FOR ICT
INTEGRATION IN THE CURRICULA?

3. “A few years ago, the emphasis in ICT in
education in Kenya has been on the
provision of computers to schools, …
after which it was left for individual schools
to figure out what to do with the
computers”
Kizito Makoba, ICT Integration Team member

4. Educational innovation:
a changing landscape
 Adoption (> 1980)
 Top-down
 Adaptation (1980 -1990)
 Implementation strategies
 Teacher and school perspective
 Integration of strategies (1990 …)
+ Student perspective

5. 7 ISSUES (STOLL, 2009)
• Varied contexts necessitate differentiated capacity building
• Capacity building needs to go beyond focusing on
supporting instructional improvement to emphasising
learning
• Capacity building needs to address both the present and the
future
• Ensuring sustainability depends on a capacity building ‘habit
of mind’
• Leading school improvement can’t be done by one person
alone: developing leadership capacity is essential
• A networked society requires lateral capacity building
• Improvement doesn’t only depend on individual schools:
systemic capacity building is required

You need ownership for fundamental
change, but you cannot get it on a large-
scale by relying on bottom-up strategies‟

carrying 25.08 x 10 21
crates of soda.
 How many bottles of
soda are in the lorry?
(Write in standard form.)

13. Who is using ICT? Teachers? Pupils?

14. "Learning is not a spectator sport.
Students do not learn much just sitting in classes listening to teachers,
memorizing prepackaged assignments, and spitting out answers.
They must talk about what they are learning,
write reflectively about it, relate it to past
experiences, and apply it to their daily lives.
They must make what they learn part of themselves”
(Chickering & Gamson, 1987)
How active is your lecture?

15. TPACK DISCUSSION BASED ON EXISTING
PRACTICE > TEACHER DESIGN TEAMS
 How to activate pupils (PK)?
“Perhaps the pupils can make a
similar presentation…”
 How to deal with 15 PC’s for 60
pupils (Context)?
“Two groups of 30 pupils.
Group 1: contract work in PC lab,
peer tutoring, …
Group 2: Flipped classroom

16. What about learning?

17. IMPACT OF ICT @MAKUTANO
SECONDARY SCHOOL
