Series: Perspectives on Education in Africa

This timely book presents the latest scholarly research on the integration of Information Communications Technology (ICT) for enhanced STEM education in African schools and universities.

Featuring critical discussion and illustration of key data-led arguments, this volume gives a comprehensive picture of the breadth, complexity, and diversity of issues present in different African countries. It highlights a diverse range of topics such as approaches to ICT integration, the use of digital technologies to support inquiry-based learning, teacher development, and contextual issues in ICT integration for STEM education. Chapters feature contributions and shared experiences from prominent science educators and researchers from across African regions, and demonstrate findings and reflections on emerging trends, pedagogical innovations, and research-informed practices on ICT integration in STEM education.

Offering cutting-edge research on STEM and digital education in Africa, the book will appeal to researchers, postgraduate students, and scholars in the fields of STEM education, ICT education, digital education, and pedagogy.
