SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS’ AND STUDENTS’ PERCEPTIONS OF INTEGRATING MOBILE DEVICES (SMARTPHONES AND TABLET PCS) INTO SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS INSTRUCTION IN UGANDA.

I have adopted the UTAUT2 model by Venkatesh et al. (2012) as my theoretical framework to review related literature on the perceptions and readiness of secondary school teachers’ and students’ to use smartphones and tablet PCs in the teaching and learning of Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Agriculture) and Mathematics subjects in different parts of the world and compare the situation with that in Uganda. My proposed research model consists of constructs such as Performance Expectancy (PE), Effort Expectancy (EE), Social Influence (SI), Facilitating Conditions (FC), Hedonic Motivation (HM), Price Value (PV), Self-Management Learning (SML) and Behavioral Intention (BI). The Challenges I am grappling with and I kindly request your help on: Whether to continue using the UTAUT2 model by Venkatesh et al. (2012) or to change to the UTAUT model by Venkatesh et al. (2003) since the use of smartphones and tablet PCs in Education is not yet implemented in secondary schools in Uganda. Wondering whether some of the constructs of UTAUT2 model may not seem applicable in the context of my study “middle secondary school teachers and students in Uganda”. I would also like to get a team of experts in the field of mobile technology adoption in secondary schools to help me reach a consensus on the statements I have used in my questionnaires since I am planning to use the Delphi technique as a research method. Thank you so much for your attention and hoping for your kindest consideration.
