Abstract :

Influence of ICT for effective classroom teaching has been the research focus for the past two decades. In spite of the efforts made by the government and private agencies to promote use of computers in the classroom, the outcome is not satisfactory. Teachers are unable to integrate technology in their instruction for various reasons. Researchers have been trying to find out the barriers that affect successful integration of technology in the classroom. Barriers are classified as teacher level, school level and system level barriers.This paper studies various levels of barriers impeding the use of computers in the classroom and their interrelationship. Studies conducted in various countries on factors preventing the use of computers by the teachers have been reviewed.The recommendations for those responsible for integration of computers in teaching were provided.
