Abstract
For the past decade, Makerere University seen
integration of ICTs as an enhancement tool in its pedagogical
processes. The level of enhancement has been slow and not
satisfactory considering the low number of staff that
pedagogically integrate ICT for teaching and learning. Several
studies had indicated in the past how e-learning has been
implemented in Makerere University but there was no
empirical evidence to explain the slow pedagogical ICT
adoption in the University. Lack of such information
contributed to the lack of concrete interventions that could be
devised to transform pedagogical integration of ICT at
Makerere University. Using a mixed research approach, a
comparative study was undertaken to find out the actual
causes of slow pedagogical integration and at the same time
suggest interventions that could improve the situation from
using ICT as an enhancement tool but a transformative tool as
per the SAMR model. These interventions arising from this
study could be utilized by any other institution which has slow
adoption of ICT for pedagogical purposes.
