Readiness of mathematics' educators to incorporate ICT as a teaching tool in Mauritius

Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is opening avenues for disseminating content in innovative and effective manners to learners. The overarching construct namely technology, pedagogy and the digital content are key elements for the successful integration of ICT in school settings. In this paper we investigate pedagogy and more precisely the readiness of educators to adopt technology in their teaching. A questionnaire was administered to 118 mathematics educators working in 95 secondary schools. The results reveal that mathematics educators in Mauritius are regular users of computers at home and are much willing to integrate this tool in their teaching process if a conducive environment is provided in the schools, including facilities, training and motivation. Furthermore educators strongly perceived ICT affordances for learning benefits and believed that students can learn mathematics better with ICT tools.
