  2. GESCI’s Foundation WSIS UN ICT TaskForce GESCI was founded by the UN ICT Taskforce in 2003, and began operations in 2005 working initially with Namibia, Ghana, India, Bolivia, Rwanda, Kenya and Tanzania Developing countries following the rest of the world by placing ICTs and ICTs in Education at the centre of their development strategies. To provide support in order to successfully and effectively harness the potential of ICTs. Initially Headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, it has now relocated its headquarters to Africa with the office in Nairobi Previous GESCI work in Tz includes Situational Analysis (2009), ICT-TPD framework (2009), ICT competencies framework for teachers (2011) GESCI as a Global Programme

  3. About the Project • This is a MoEVT project supported by Sidato improve Science, Math and English (SME) teaching in secondary schools through the use of ICT • Developed through consultative meetings with stakeholders in view of the poor performance in SME • The project will run for two years July 2011 – June 2013

  4. Objectives Strategic Project Objective: • To improve the quality of teaching and learning in Science, Mathematics and English through improving teachers’ competences Specific Objectives are: • To establish the status of resources in the implementing institutions through collecting baseline data; • To equip the selected secondary schools with computer systems, internet connectivity and power supply systems in refurbished and furnished rooms ; • To enable the teachersin Science, Math and English in selected Secondary Schools acquire ICT basic skills and teaching methodologies through ICTs; • To avail e-resources for teaching and learning Science, Math and English; • To enable access to the identified e-resources in Science, Math and English ; • To enable college tutors acquire ICT technical and professional skills to support the implementing secondary schools; and • To enable implementing institutions successfully meet the objectives of the project through monitoring and evaluation.

  5. Expected outputs • Needs Analysis/Baseline survey report; • Technology, (computers, internet connectivity and related accessories) installed and efficiently managed in the implementing schools; • Solar power installed in selected pilot secondary school(s) • Science, Mathematics and English teachers in the selected secondary schools trained in ICT basic skills (technical and application) and methodology on utilization of ICT in teaching and learning; • College tutors trained to provide technical and professional support to secondary school teachers; • Science, Mathematics and English e-resources availed and accessible to students and teachers; • Established professional and technical support in the secondary schools involved in the project; • Established teacher professional linkages; and • Final project report with recommendations.

  6. Expected outcomes • Raised awareness on benefits and limitations of ICT use in SME; • Improved access to quality teaching and learning resources in Science, Mathematics and English subjects through the use of ICTs; • Improved teachers’ capacity (both contents and pedagogy) in teaching Science, Mathematics and English subjects through the use of ICTs; • Enhanced teachers’ professional development in Science, Mathematics and English subjects through the use of ICTs; • Increase efficiency in the management of the ICT infrastructure in the pilot secondary schools; • Increased classroom interaction in the teaching and learning process; • Increased students’ motivation and participation in learning Science, Mathematics and English subjects through the use of ICTs; • Reduced professional isolation among the teachers; • Increased use of ICTs in the preparation and presentation of lessons in the pilot secondary schools; and • Improved students’ performance in Science, Mathematics and English in the pilot secondary schools.

  12. Project Teams Digital Content Resources Team • Develop a digital content evaluation framework/ criteria to evaluate online resources • Identify free online resources and compile a database for distribution or uploading • Burn the resources onto DVDs for distribution with the support from Technical team • Develop guidelines for the use of digital resources jointly with the pedagogical team • Conduct monitoring in to schools as part of zonal project team School Project Team • Troubleshoot technical issues at school level • Conduct reflection seminars at school level • Support peer-to-peer reflection on classroom practice • Provide quarterly reports to zonal level coordination teams • Conduct M&E in pilot schools as part of zonal project team Pedagogical and Training team • Develop the capacity building plan • Develop training content in detail • Suggest training material • Oversee the training process • Conduct M&E in pilot schools as part of zonal project team •  Support participants to implement training concepts / modules in practice Technical team • provide technical solutions TOR • select operating systems and basic software • oversee the bids to acquire hardware and software • Review the content of the technical training • Support content developing teams • Develop maintenance and support kits • Conduct monitoring visits to pilot schools as part of zonal project team

  13. Implementation Scenario • The ICT tools and resources should be focused on maximum utilization primarily by teachers • The infrastructure to be chosen for this project should allow teachers’ use away from the computer lab, should be portable to the classroom and should be focused on the needs of the teacher in improving his/her teaching and learning • Teachers must be equipped with the requisite competencies for ICT Integration
