However, in the face of the concerns that were raised by education commentators, student bodies and teacher unions about the lack of public schools’ readiness for mobile learning, this social constructivist-oriented qualitative study adopted the technology acceptance model (TAM) as a lens to investigate educators’ perceptions of WhatsApp Messenger as a supplementary tool for curriculum knowledge transfer and acquisition during the stricter COVID 19 lockdown at three historically disadvantaged schools in South Africa. keywords: acquisition; africa; covid-19; curriculum; curriculum knowledge; data; education; educators; knowledge; learners; learning; lockdown; messenger; participants; research; schools; south; transfer; whatsapp cache: ressat-715.pdf plain text: ressat-715.txt item: #156 of 162 id: ressat-716 author: Kenna, Joshua; Hensley, Matthew title: Social Studies and Social Media: Status Among K-12 Tennessee Teachers Before COVID date: 2023-05-05 words: 5689 flesch: 46 summary: The results that 59% of K-12 social studies teachers in Tennessee utilized some learning management services and 22% utilized some Web 2.0 technologies may not come as a surprise to those who have been entrenched in the field.
