Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2018 in the subject Pedagogy - Miscellaneous Topics, , language: English, abstract: The use of instructional technologies by teachers has an impact on students' content acquisition and adds to class performance. However, research has shown that it is not only the technology that is important, but also how it is used that improves learning and increases pupils' interest. In view of this, since not much was known about the teacher's attitude use of technologies in training colleges in Kenya, Therefore, this study was designed to establish teachers' attitudes towards the use of instructional technologies in Kericho teacher training college Kenya. The technologies studied were chalkboards, flip charts, overhead projectors, videos, computers, and local resources from the environment. The design of the study was descriptive survey method involving both qualitative and quantitative research methodology. The target population for this study comprised of19 tutors. The study adopted questionnaire and Interview Guide. The researcher make used of stratified random, purposive sampling and simple random sampling. The reliability of instrument was tested using Cronbach Coefficient Alpha to determine the internal consistency of the items in the questionnaire. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to analyze data from the Questionnaire. Data collected were analyzed and descriptively presented with frequencies and percentages, while tables were used to enhance vivid illustrations. The results of the study showed that respondents agreed on the importance of using the technologies. Despite the teaching materials helping to elaborate difficult concepts, the teachers agreed that producing them requires too much time, which to some extent threatens the availability of these self-produced teaching materials. On the other hand, the teachers were eager to learn how to use the higher-order technologies. This finding clearly shows that they need the training to be able to use the technologies. The study concludes with a suggested process for how government and the teacher training institutions can work collaboratively to maximize the use of instructional technologies in the teaching and learning process for prospective teachers. Several possibilities for further research on the use of instructional technologies have been highlighted.
