ICT ADOPTION IN SELECTED SECONDARY SCHOOLS OF SIDAMA REGION FOR ENHANCED TEACHING AND LEARNING PROCESS
(Hawassa University, 2022-10-24) GEMEDA YACHISO
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is becoming increasingly important for
sustainable development, in our daily lives and in our educational system. Therefore, there is a
growing demand on educational institutions to integrate and use ICT for enhancing the teaching
and learning process and for the students to acquire the necessary skills in this 21st century. ICT is
the process of gathering, creating, processing, and storage of information by using hardware,
software, as well as the internet and global system of mobile communication (GSM). Realizing
the effect of ICT on the workplace and everyday life, today’s educational institutions try to
restructure their educational curriculum and classroom facilities, in order to bridge the existing
technology gap in teaching and learning especially in developing countries like Ethiopia .There
exists problems in the inadequacy of exploiting ICT in secondary schools such as lack of the
requisite skills and interest of the most teachers as well as lack of active participation IT skill use
of student were the widely observed problems in Ethiopia in general and in selected secondary
school of this study. Hence, in order investigate the practical weakness and strength of the teaching
learning process of ICT class enforced to develop a model for improving the process of ICT
adoption for the teaching and learning process. Specifically, the objective of this study was focused
on examining ICT adoption in selected secondary schools in Sidama region. The research design
selected for this study is a descriptive analysis approach and the study areas of this research were
Aletawondo, Gordama, and hula secondary schools located in Sidama region. The total population
of the study was 1120 individuals and the sample size was 287 respondent i.e. 280 students selected
using simple random sampling technique and 18 interviewees were selected using purposeful
sampling method. Here, in order to collect data from the respondents, 40 questions of the
questionnaire for 280 students, and 7 interview questions for 18 interviewees and 5 observation
criteria were used. Then the data analysis mechanism was by using SPSS software package, and
descriptive analysis. Majority of the responses gathered from the three tools shows that there was
lack of knowledge and skill of ICT teachers. In this case, level of effectiveness of ICT adoption
use, perceived benefits of using ICT, factors affecting ICT adoption, readiness and interest as well
as IT Skills were the independent variables while ICT adoption teaching and learning process was
the dependent variable. Five mentioned variables have influenced on the individual intention to
use new technology. The result shows that there was highly unsatisfied in their learning and using
ICT. The lack of attention to improve ICT adoption in the school and they exists weakness on the
position of ICT resources and poor in developing skill students were the major findings

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is becoming increasingly important for
sustainable development, in our daily lives and in our educational system. Therefore, there is a
growing demand on educational institutions to integrate and use ICT for enhancing the teaching
and learning process and for the students to acquire the necessary skills in this 21st century. ICT
is the process of gathering, creating, processing, and storage of information by using hardware,
software, as well as the internet and global system of mobile communication (GSM). Realizing
the effect of ICT on the workplace and everyday life, today’s educational institutions try to
restructure their educational curriculum and classroom facilities, in order to bridge the existing
technology gap in teaching and learning especially in developing countries like Ethiopia .There
exists problems in the inadequacy of exploiting ICT in secondary schools such as lack of the
requisite skills and interest of the most teachers as well as lack of active participation digital
skill use of student were the widely observed problems in Ethiopia in general and in selected
secondary school of this study. Specifically, the objective of this study was focused to
assessment of student digital skill in Ethiopian high schools (in case of East Guji Girja Woreda).
The research design selected for this study is a descriptive analysis approach and the study areas
of this research were East Guji Girja Woreda secondary schools located in Oromia region. The
total population of the study was 231 Individuals and the sample size was 144 respondent i.e.
144 students selected using simple random sampling technique and 4 interviewees were selected
using purposeful sampling method. Here, in order to collect data from the respondents, 26
questions of the questionnaire for 144 students, and 12 interview questions for 4 teachers were
used. Then the data analysis mechanism was by using SPSS software package, and descriptive
analysis. Majority of the responses gathered from the three tools shows that there was lack of
knowledge and skill of ICT students. In this case, Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy ,
Social Influence , Facilitating Conditions , Behavioral Intention as well as Digital Skills were the
independent variables while assessment of student practicing ICT digital skill was the dependent
variable. Five mentioned variables have influenced on the Behavioral intention to use new
technology. The result shows that there was highly unsatisfied in their learning and using ICT.
The lack of attention to improve digital skill in the school and they exists weakness on the
position of ICT resources and poor in developing skill students were the major findings
