Limited knowledge and lack of ICT infrastructures, in most public schools and lack of teacher efficacy, on usage of these Technological resources are the reasons often mentioned for not integrating ICT into the Tourism subject. This study reports on the implementation of Information Computer Technologies (ICT) in a Tourism classroom. The aim of this study was to understand how ICT can assist learning and teaching in the Tourism classroom. This thesis takes a qualitative approach with an action research design inquiring how ICT can assist with teaching and learning in the Grade 10 Tourism classroom. This study is underpinned by an interpretive paradigm with a critical lens to not only focus on learner experiences but to reflect on teaching approaches within practice and to improve them. Data was analysed to determine the value of these Technologies in the Tourism Classroom with the use of a TPACK and SAMR framework. The research findings indicated that ICT can enhance learning and teaching in the Grade 10 Tourism classroom after the second intervention in action research. Both learners and the teachers reflected on their strengths and weaknesses in using the ICT resources when learning and teaching occur and made suggestions for improved implementation such as doing things in smaller sections and first doing transmission mode lessons and then ICT-supported lessons. The reflective process of action research allowed the researcher as a practitioner to reflect on teaching strategies to learners with diverse backgrounds. An important factor of the digital divide where learners have little exposure to ICT in their lives proved to be an important aspect to consider when planning and implementing lessons. Execution of this study indicated that ICT in the tourism classroom needs to exist co-dependently with teacher-centred instruction and teaching using ICT resources. This study assisted in Developing and improving my practice as a Tourism teacher and helped me as a teacher to plan the necessary subject content in ways that cater to the needs of every student based on their learning preferences and exposure to and familiarity with ICT- and related technologies. The limitations of this study is that it focused on the experiences of only four grade 10 learners. Emphasis of this study was on development of the teacher in practice. Additionally, more focus on how cognitive learning abilities in constructing information by utilizing ICT resources in the classroom is a potential research field. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die Wes-Kaap Onderwysdepartement fokus meer en meer op die integrasie van lesse met IKThulpbronne en om klaskamers toe te rus met die vereiste Tegnologieë. Beperkte kennis en gebrek aan IKT-infrastruktuur in die meeste openbare skole en 'n gebrek aan onderwyserdoeltreffendheid oor die gebruik van hierdie Tegnologiese hulpbronne is die redes wat dikwels genoem word waarom IKT nie by die Toerisme-vak geïntegreer word nie. Hierdie studie doen verslag oor die implementering van Inligtingsrekenaartegnologie (IKT) in 'n Toerismeklaskamer. Die doel van hierdie studie was om te verstaan hoe IKT leer en onderrig in die Toerismeklaskamer kan help. Hierdie tesis volg 'n kwalitatiewe benadering met 'n aksienavorsingsontwerp om te ondersoek hoe IKT met leer kan help. Hierdie studie word onderlê deur 'n interpretatiewe paradigma met 'n kritiese lens om nie net op leerderervarings te fokus nie, maar om te besin oor onderrigbenaderings binne die praktyk en dit te verbeter. Data is ontleed om die waarde van hierdie tegnologieë in die toerismeklaskamer te bepaal met die gebruik van 'n TPACK- en SAMR-raamwerk. Die navorsingsbevindinge het aangedui dat IKT leer en onderrig in die graad 10 Toerismeklaskamer kan verbeter ná die tweede intervensie in aksienavorsing. Beide leerders en die onderwysers het besin oor hul sterk- en swakpunte in die gebruik van die IKThulpbronne wanneer leer en onderrig plaasvind en voorstelle gemaak vir verbeterde implementering soos om dinge in kleiner afdelings te doen en eers oordragmoduslesse te doen en dan IKTondersteunde lesse. Die reflektiewe proses van aksienavorsing het die navorser as praktisyn toegelaat om te besin oor onderrigstrategieë aan leerders met uiteenlopende agtergronde. 'n Belangrike faktor van die digitale kloof waar leerders min blootstelling aan IKT in hul lewens het, was 'n belangrike aspek om in ag te neem wanneer lesse beplan en geïmplementeer word. Die uitvoering van hierdie studie het aangedui dat IKT in die toerismeklaskamer mede-afhanklik moet bestaan met onderwysergesentreerde onderrig en onderrig wat die IKT-hulpbronne gebruik. Hierdie studie het gehelp om my praktyk as 'n Toerisme-onderwyser te ontwikkel en te verbeter, het my as onderwyser gehelp om die nodige vakinhoud te beplan op maniere wat in die behoeftes van elke student voorsien, gebaseer op hul leervoorkeure en blootstelling aan en vertroudheid met IKT- en verwante tegnologieë. Die beperkinge van hierdie studie is dat dit gefokus het op die ervarings van vier graad 10-leerders. Hierdie studie was gefokus op ontwikkeling van die onderwyser in die praktyk. Verder, meer fokus op hoe kognitiewe leervermoëns in die konstruering van inligting deur die gebruik van IKThulpbronne in die klaskamer is 'n potensiële navorsingsveld.
