Key Points

  • This research analyzes how ICT is integrated into mathematics teaching by pre-tertiary teachers in Ghana.
  • Utilized a convergent parallel mixed-methods design with qualitative and quantitative approaches.
  • Focused on 53 junior high school mathematics teachers selected purposefully in Ghana.
  • Applied multi-theoretical frameworks, including TPACK and UTAUT, to analyze teachers' practices.
  • Employed means, standard deviation, linear regression, and multiple regression for data analysis.
  • Teachers showed a positive attitude towards ICT integration in mathematics teaching.
  • Regression analysis revealed that teachers' perceptions and teaching methods positively predict ICT integration (β = 0.45, p < 0.01; β = 0.30, p < 0.01).
  • Obstacles negatively influenced ICT integration (β = -0.25, p < 0.01).
  • Qualitative data identified contextual barriers such as resource constraints and limited pedagogical strategies.

Abstract

In spite of the prioritization of technology in educational institutions, its integration in mathematics teachers’ instructional practices at the pre‐tertiary level remains low. This study examines the integration of information and communication technology (ICT) in mathematics pedagogy among 53 junior high school (JHS) teachers who were selected on purpose in Ghana, utilizing a convergent parallel mixed‐methods design. Drawing on a multi‐theoretical framework (TPACK, UTAUT, Community of Inquiry, and Diffusion of Innovation), the study explores the effects of teachers’ perceptions of ICT integration, methods of teaching with ICT, ICT instructional influence and obstacles on ICT integration in the mathematics classroom context. Means and standard deviation, linear and multiple regression informed the analysis of the data. The results of the finding show teachers positive dispositions towards the integration of ICT in mathematics. Further, quantitative findings from regression analysis ( R 2 = 0.65) indicate that perceptions ( β = 0.45, p < 0.01) and methods ( β = 0.30, p < 0.01) positively predict ICT integration, while obstacles ( β = −0.25, p < 0.01) negatively predict it. Qualitative data highlight contextual barriers, such as resource constraints, and limited pedagogical strategies. Findings contribute to understanding ICT integration in resource‐constrained settings, offering policy recommendations for infrastructure investment, targeted professional development, and gender equity in Ghanaian JHS mathematics education.
