Abstract

We are living in a new age in which Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has become a key motivating force in almost all aspects of teaching and learning. The aim of this study was to ascertain the challenges faced by lecturers in the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the teaching of Chemistry at Polytechnics in Zimbabwe. The challenges faced by lecturers in teaching Chemistry were found to be extrinsic barriers such as inaccessibility of ICT resources, time constraints, limited technical support and lack of training as well as intrinsic barriers such as lack of competency, attitudes towards use, resistance to change and personal beliefs. The need to continuously train Chemistry Lecturers on the use ICTs was ascertained. Provision of adequate ICT gadgets, facilities and services in the teaching and learning of Chemistry is strongly recommended.
