Abstract:
Information Communication Technology (ICT) implementation in Namibian schools is still in
its infancy in rural science classrooms at junior secondary school level. The research reported
in this paper adapted the Four-in-Balance model that reflects the pillars of the use of ICT in
classrooms. In order to explore the extent of the implementation in rural science classrooms of
the government ICT Policy for Education, a survey was used to collect science teachers’ level
data. Three levels of ICT implementation, viz low, medium and high, were identified. The results
show that for management aspects of the ICT Policy the implementation level is high to medium,
which contrasts with the low levels of implementation of subject specific ICT resources for
pedagogical use, and also with teachers’ negative attitude to the use of ICT. The results might
influence policies on ICT use and how ICT is to be used in the future at classrooms level.
