The debate is no longer whether to use information and
communication technologies (ICT) in education in Africa but how to
do so, and how to ensure equitable access for teachers and
learners, whether in urban or rural settings. This is a book about
how Africans adopt and adapt ICT. It is also about how ICT shape
African schools and classrooms. Why do we use ICT, or not? Do girls
and boys use them in the same ways? How are teachers and students
in primary and secondary schools in Africa using ICT in teaching
and learning? How does the process transform relations among
learners, educators and knowledge construction? This collection by
19 researchers from Africa, Europe, and North America, explores
these questions from a pedagogical perspective and specific
socio-cultural contexts. Many of the contributors draw on learning
theory and survey data from 36 schools, 66000 students and 3000
teachers. The book is rich in empirical detail on the perceived
importance and appropriation of ICT in the development of education
in Africa. It critically examines the potential for creative use of
ICT to question habits, change mindsets, and deepen practice. The
contributions are in both English and French.
