Abstract
Governments and ICT integration advocates tend to seek
infrastructural investments as a panacea for the ICT needs for learning
institutions, without proper plans on how they will be utilized and without
clear understanding existing capacity deficits that will affect its successful
implementation. The mere focus of most studies on availability of technology
and what students learn through the technology has left a gap in understanding
on the capacity requirements that will ensure effective utilization of the
technology in order to improve the quality of educational processes in learning
institutions. ICT capacity has been of particular focus by scholars in
understanding the influence of teacher characteristics and capabilities on
effective utilization of ICT to realize its full potential in improving efficiency
and effectiveness of management, teaching and learning processes in learning
institutions. This review summarizes the relevant research on the influence of
ICT capacity on effective utilization of ICT to improve organizational
performance of learning institutions. Specifically, the review summarizes the
relevant research on teachers’ characteristics and ICT capacity and its effect
on organizational performance in learning institutions. The review also
discusses gaps in the literature, directions for future studies to breach the gaps
and the research implications on scholars and policy makers in educational
technology.
