Perception of Religious and Moral Education Tutors towards Technology Integration

Abstract

This study sets out to investigate the perception of RME tutors in the Colleges of Education in the Volta and Eastern Regions of Ghana towards technology integration. The research design employed for the study was a descriptive survey. Twenty-four (24) RME tutors were involved in the study. The census method was used to involve all the 24 RME tutors in the Colleges of Education in the two regions for the study. The main instrument used for data collection was questionnaires. Statistical Product and Service Solution (SPSS version 16.0) was used to process the data. Descriptive statistics such as percentages, means, and standard deviations were used to analyse and discuss the data. The study revealed that RME tutors have positive perception (in terms of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use) towards technology integration. It is recommended that RME tutors be encouraged and motivated to use technology frequently in teaching-learning activities. Again, tutors should do well to provide a conducive and technology-enabled classroom in order to give pre-service teachers the opportunity to learn how to integrate technology into their lessons. Further research should also be conducted on a nationwide basis to provide a more in-depth study into issues relating to technology integration in the Colleges of Education.
