This study focused on assessing teachers’ pedagogical competence in using Digital Visualisation Learning (DVL) materials during Reading Comprehension instruction in primary schools. Specifically, the study seeks information on teachers’ knowledge and skills in integrating DVL materials into English language reading comprehension instruction in primary schools. The study also examines factors affecting the use of digital visualisation in classroom situations Methodology. Anchored in the European Digital Competence Education Model, the study employed survey questionnaires, observations, and interviews as primary methods of data collection from respondents. The study adopted a mixed-methods approach within a case study research design, focusing on ten selected schools in Morogoro Municipality, Tanzania. One hundred and ten respondents were involved, including ten (10) primary school head teachers and one hundred (100) primary school English language teachers. Regression coefficients were used to analyse quantitative data, while qualitative data was analysed thematically. Results. The findings show that teachers had low competence in using DVL materials in teaching reading comprehension in primary schools. The low competence is caused by a negative attitude, and low self-efficacy, limited access to technological resources, inadequate professional training and a lack of institutional and government support. The lack of teachers’ competence indicates that in-service training is essential on bringing teachers' competence to improve teachers' competence in using digital visualisation in classrooms. Conclusion. The study concludes that the availability of proper digital teaching and learning resources and teachers’ positive attitude, should be prioritised to influence teachers’ knowledge and skills on using DVL materials in primary schools teaching and learning. It is recommended in this study that the government and private sectors should invest in education and provide financial support for teachers’ trainings about the use of digital tools in their everyday teaching and learning for global competitiveness. This study will further develop an intervention for upgrading teachers on how to integrate DVL materials in teaching English language subjects in Tanzania Private 2026-06-30T10:24:56Z 2026-04 Article APA https://doi.org/10.34142/2709-7986.2026.31.1.08 https://scholar.mzumbe.ac.tz/handle/123456789/2149 en_US application/pdf Educational Challenges, Vol. 31, Issue 1 |
