Abstract
Over the last two decades, the rapid growth of ICT has become one of the essential areas for education. This is due to the capability of ICT in providing a dynamic and proactive learning and conducive school environment. In line with the current digital era, learners are required to integrate ICT in their daily learning and replace their traditional methods with modern tools and facilities. Kenya has made remarkable progress putting in place an ICT policy framework and implementation strategy, complete with measurable outcomes and time frames. The process has had the benefit of sound advice from officials and stakeholders and, perhaps more importantly, strong leadership from the office of The Ministry of Education. However, universal intergration of ICT has been a challenge to most of the countries, Kenya included as a result of lack of resources, ICT infrastructure, and even skilled teachers- particularly in public primary schools in Nairobi. This paper focuses on the effect of teacher pedagogical skills on the integration of ICT into teaching. More specifically, in identifying the level of acquisition of computer skills among primary school teachers in the integration of ICT process. The teachers pedagogical skills as applied in the integration of ICT is a very vital element in class. Thus we see that technology not only benefits the school students but also eases the office work. It is a more effective way of storage and distribution of information. The realization of the importance of technology in schools and its successful implementation is a necessity. This paper synthesis the research literature on teacher’s pedagogical skills, it presents the background and justification for approaches that could be applied in integration of ICT into teaching which could motivate and influence teacher’s attitude towards acquiring higher pedagogical skills.
