Leveraging Information Technology to Enhance Mathematics Instruction in Secondary Schools: A Case Study of Three Schools in Kisii County, Kenya

The integration of Information Technology (IT) into mathematics instruction remains underutilized in many rural Kenyan secondary schools despite global evidence supporting its effectiveness. This study investigated how IT tools are used in the teaching of mathematics in three selected secondary schools in Kisii County. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through interviews with teachers, classroom observations, and analysis of student performance records. Results indicated that although IT tools like projectors, educational software, and mobile applications are available in some schools, their integration into daily instruction is limited due to infrastructural, training, and pedagogical constraints. The study recommends targeted teacher training, increased investment in IT infrastructure, and curriculum redesigns to support effective technology use in mathematics instruction.
