    The purpose of this study was to investigate factors that influence basic school social studies teachers’ integration of technology in the teaching of Social Studies in schools within the Kwahu-West Municipality of Ghana. The study sought to address the following objectives: To what extent do ICT infrastructure, teachers’ ICT competence and work load influence basic school social studies teachers’ integration of technology in their lessons in the Kwahu-West Municipality of Ghana? The study was a descriptive survey.  Proportional simple random technique was employed in selecting sample size of eighty-one (81) Junior High School social studies from 46 public basic schools within the Kwahu West Municipality of Ghana. The data for the study was collected using questionnaires to solicit responds from the teachers. A Cronbach Alpha value of .860 was obtained for the reliability of the items on the questionnaires. The data of the study was analyzed using Multiple Regression Analysis which established Rsquare (R2) value of 0.7090 at 0.05 alpha level of significance.  From the analysis, it was established that basic school teachers’ integration of technology in their social studies lessons were heavily influenced by  the ICT infrastructure of their school, their ICT competence and  their workloads in terms of number of periods they handled a week and other co-curriculum activities they have been asked to engage in. It was recommended that Government through Ministry of Education and other relevant stakeholders should ensure the provision of art-of-craft ICT infrastructure in basic schools within the municipality coupled with organization of regular in-service programs for teachers to upgrade their knowledge on technology integration.

    Virtual workplaces : when metaphors breakdown

    Get PDF
    Thesis (M.S.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1998.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 79-81).Our model of work is shaped by the places we choose to work and the tools we choose to work with. As we introduce new technologies and build new environments our model is changing. Today's virtual workplaces are grounded in models of work that have been reformed from our experiences using current technology in physical workspace. However we are discovering opportunities and possibilities for work in collaborative, virtual environments that question physical models. Emerging patterns of distributed collaboration in persistent virtual environments are changing the way we work in time and space, recasting our notion of workplace. Virtual workplaces are interpreted and experienced through metaphors that describe a space of potential for work occurrences. Through the lens of metaphors, this research focuses on breakdowns between collaborative work and the environment in which work occurs. If what we understand and predict is based on what we already know, then by examining the breakdowns between design and use of collaborative environments we can illuminate the space of possibilities for collaborative work.by Thomas W.I.
