Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to discuss a model which can be used as a framework to guide the implementation and use of ICT for teaching and learning. The benefits of using ICT in Education are known, however, the problem is that the implementation and use of these ICTs in schools do not often yield the desired results as anticipated. In an attempt to address this problem, this chapter reviewed eleven information system models and adopted an Action Research strategy of inquiry using mixed methods involving both quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection to gather a holistic data out of the emerged phenomenon in the academic and social-cultural context of the participants. The result shows that lack of skills, interest, time, pedagogic relevance of the technology among others are obstacles to the effective implementation and use of ICT in education. The findings led to the conceptualization of STUMP.
