This paper presented a case of the ICT Innovation Centres in Primary Schools in Kenya for the effective operation and management of ICT integrated education based on the results of the centre users’satisfaction and improved competency in ICT in education. Global society pursed results-based management to materialize the principles of effective development cooperation. In line with the principle, the project team for establishing the Centres has supported the local operators to operate and manage the centres with the manual and surveyed to capture the results of the operation and management focusing on the users' satisfaction and competency. As result, these two centres encouraged the users to be exposed to use facilities and equipment for understanding ICT and applying it in their teaching and learning activities physically. In particular, these centres helped them to participate in community activities which were recognized as the foundation of sustainable operation and management of the centres. The teaching and learning environment significantly affected the users' satisfaction and improved competency. But, still, additional content would be required for enhancing the performance of the users. For the long-term results, this study proposed that the impact of using the centres should be monitored continuously to carry out tangible results of teaching and learning performance because the centres were operated less than a year and still required to stock relevant data.
The Ethiopian development plans have dealt with the education sector as a key strategic pillar. There have been a lot of educational efforts. In particular, to cope with a lack of qualified teachers, lack of good teaching models, and remote rural regions separated from educational benefits, the Ethiopian Ministry of Education has made efforts to utilize educational media, such as satellite TV programing, to improve the quality of secondary education for last decade. However, there was lack of national investigation in the aspect of systemic evaluation to measure the effectiveness of the satellite TV programing. This study aims to investigate the actual practice and effectiveness of the satellite TV programing in Ethiopian secondary schools. To achieve the goal, one questionnaire was developed based on the CIPP model. Two secondary schools were selected and 228 students (Grade 9-12) participated in the survey. Data collected from them were utilized for descriptive & frequencies analysis, chi-square test, and multiple regression analysis. The results indicated that Ethiopian students utilizing satellite TV programing scored highly in the evaluation areas of context, input, process, and product of the program. It was also found that learning demand, learning content, and class management were factors affecting the satisfaction in the satellite TV programing. These findings suggested that satellite TV programing could play an important role in improving the quality of Ethiopian secondary education. As a conclusion, several educational and administrative strategies to improve the TV program were recommended.
