ABSTRACT
The study sought to establish the use of computers by teachers in schools in Zaka
District under Masvingo Province. The research would also find possible solutions to
effective use of computers in schools by teachers. The study have adopted the
descriptive survey design which permitted the researcher to use questionnaires,
interviews and observation to collect data. The design assisted the researcher to find
valuable knowledge about opinions, attitudes and practices in the use of computers by
teachers. A sample of schools was done under stratified random sampling. The
sample was comprised of school heads, teachers and learners giving a total of fortyeight
respondents. The outcomes of this study revealed that computers in schools are
not being utilised much more efficiently and effectively to embrace learning by the
teachers. This rose from a number of limitations such as lack of proven and tested
educational software. In addition, failure of the Ministry to provide a National ICT
Policy is one of the major challenges. The researcher recommends that the
government should source more funds to capacitate the teachers, buy the computers
and educational software. It should also build an ICT infrastructure and Policy in
education as well to incorporate different organisations and sectors world over to
assist schools in terms of connectivity. Lastly, the curriculum implementers in the
Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education should include in their curriculum the
integration of computers in the teaching and learning process across the curriculum.
