Abstract

This study investigated teachers’ preparedness in integrating ICTs in public primary teacher training
colleges in Kenya. Integration of ICTs brings revolutionary changes in teaching methodologies. The
innovation lies not per se in the introduction and use of ICTs, but in its role as a contributor towards
students-centered form of teaching and learning. Teachers’ preparedness was measured in; types of
ICTs available, teacher’s training levels, teacher attitudes towards ICTs and challenges faced on ICTs
integration. A descriptive survey design was used in the study which was conducted in four (4) public
primary teacher training colleges in Central region of Kenya. These provided an ideal population for
the study. The obtained data was analyzed systematically using descriptive statistics and presented
with the help of frequency tables, figures and percentages. The study findings revealed that the types
of ICTs available were inadequate; there was lack of proper training in the use of ICTs and
preparedness on integration of ICTs was at an infant stage with several challenges on attempts to
integration.
