Abstract
-
This study explores the contribution of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to the development and delivery of Physics teaching at Kriste Mambo High School, focusing on its role in preparing students for Zimbabwe's Education 5.0 framework. Education 5.0 emphasizes teaching, research, community service, innovation, and industrialization, necessitating foundational skills and technological literacy from secondary education. The research, conducted as a mixed-methods case study, assessed current ICT integration, identified challenges, and explored opportunities. Findings indicate a foundational but limited use of ICT, primarily for visualization and basic digital literacy, with minimal adoption of subject-specific software. Key barriers include inadequate infrastructure (computers, internet, and power), lack of relevant software, and insufficient teacher training in pedagogical ICT integration. Despite these challenges, ICT presents significant opportunities to enhance learning and overcome resource constraints. The study recommends targeted investment in ICT infrastructure, procurement of Physics-specific software, consistent power supply, and specialized professional development for teachers to effectively leverage ICT for Education 5.0 preparedness, ensuring equitable access for all students within the heritage-based curriculum.
