dc.description.abstractThe study examined the relationship between user involvement and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) up-take in National Teacher Training Colleges. The study attempted, within the framework of theory of Diffusion of Innovations (Rogers, 2003), to examine ICT diffusion in National Teachers’ College, Kaliro using teaching staff as the unit of adoption. The participants stood at 94.4% male, compared to only 5.6% female. Male respondents dominated this study. This situation also obtains in the other National Teacher Training Colleges of Uganda with all having less than 10% female teaching staff. Some respondents 25.0% reported that they had had no computer training and a limited number 13.9% of the teaching staff had less than five days of training. This scenario is associated with the fact that ICT innovations in teaching are a relatively new phenomenon in teacher training in Uganda. The distribution indicates on average, limited training – an indication of a crucial predictive element in the up-take of ICT in teacher training, which demands sufficient exposure to technological innovations in the teaching/learning process. Further research may consider changing the setting, population, sampling procedures, or data collection methods in a more gender balanced institution.en_US
