信息通信技术(ICT)极大地促进了全球学校教育的进步。然而，在肯尼亚，学校很少使用信息和通信技术工具来提高教师生产率，或管理产出质量，或通过分析支出来降低成本。这归因于大多数学校在实施信息和通信技术方面面临的许多挑战，这导致信息和通信技术的采用和使用速度缓慢，尽管它在教育方面很有前途和潜力。这项研究调查了校长在实施过程中面临的一些挑战。本研究采用描述性调查研究设计。目标人口包括梅鲁县350名公立中学校长。105名受访者(占30%)采用分层和简单随机抽样的方式进行抽样。调查问卷作为数据收集的主要工具。问卷的效度是通过专家的判断来保证的，信度是通过先导性研究中的检验和重测的方法来确定的。90份问卷(85.71%)填好并收回。数据分析采用了推论和描述性统计技术，之后以表格的形式列出结果，并进行了一些讨论。研究结果表明，尽管校长在学校实施信息和通信技术时遇到了许多挑战，但他们似乎对实施持积极态度。校长的兴趣；他们的承诺和支持在学校实施ICT计划对整个过程产生了积极的影响。应定期为他们安排一次量身定制的在职培训，以便将他们对信通技术的理论兴趣转化为实践。Normal 0 False EN-US ZH-CN X-None/*样式定义*/

Information Communication Technology (ICT) has contributed greatly to advancement of education in schools globally. However, in Kenyan schools barely use ICT tools to raise teacher productivity, or manage the quality of output, or reduce costs through analyzing expenditures. This is attributed to many challenges facing most schools with regards to implementation of the technology which has resulted to slow rate of adoption and use of ICT, despite its promise and potential in education. This study surveyed some of the challenges principals faced during its implementation. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The target population included 350 public secondary school principals in Meru County. One hundred and five (105) respondents which represented 30% were sampled using stratified and simple random sampling. Questionnaires were used as main instruments for data collection. Validity of the questionnaires was ensured through judgment of experts, while reliability was established through test and re-tests method during pilot study. Ninety (85.71%) questionnaires were appropriately filled and return. Data analysis employed both inferential and descriptive statistical techniques after which the results were presented in tables supported by some discussions. The study findings established that although principals encountered numerous challenges during implementing ICT in schools, they appeared to have positive attitudes towards its implementation. Principals’ interest; their commitment and championing implementation of ICT programs in schools positively influenced the whole process. A tailor-made in-service training should be regularly arranged for them in order to shift their theoretical interest in ICT into practice.
