abstract={Since 2008 students at Chalmers University of Technology have been running a
project which supplies rural school in southern Africa with computers to make technology
available for the learners (pupils) at these schools. However, most research
regarding the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in education
is performed in Western countries where almost everyone has access to technology
and computers almost everywhere. The situation in developing countries is very
di erent and therefore the research regarding the use of ICT in education can not
be directly transformed to the schools in these countries. The purpose of this study
was to ll a part of that gap in the ICT research, which hopefully can be valuable
for both the organisations that supply schools in these countries with computers
and for the schools that receive computers.
The aim of this research project was to study how the inclusion of computers in
the education a ect both the learners and the personnel at the schools, and more
speci cally how it a ects the science studies at the schools. Therefore these two
main questions were studied:
• How has the inclusion of computers in the education a ected the learners?
• Has the education in general and in chemistry studies in particular changed
since the schools received computers?
To be able to answer these questions data were collected through a eld study
in South Africa during which observations, questionnaires and interviews were conducted.
At the schools participating in this study computers were almost exclusively
used in the subject Computer Application Technology (CAT), so the teaching of the
other subjects had not changed that much since the schools received computers. By
the results from this study no clear conclusion could be drawn regarding how the
inclusion of computers in the education a ected learners' motivation for their studies.

in the education were mostly positive and that it was important for the learners'
future.},
