Abstract: Information and communication technology (ICT) has become an indispensable tool in the hands of the modern-day teacher for diverse reasons which ranges from teaching to information resource. The study looked basic in-service teachers’ ICT knowledge and skills in integrating technology into teaching and learning in some selected Ghanaian basic schools across two regions of the country. The study adopted a descriptive approach sampling 134 purposively selected teachers from four basic schools; two of which were private and the other two from government schools. The study revealed that teachers in the selected schools found it difficult to use ICT to make their own teaching and learning materials, and rated their knowledge on computers and their functions as modest. Again, they hardly used drill and practice as a medium of instruction. Conversely, they affirmed encouraging pupils in class to search for relevant information on the Internet as well as asking students to undertake tasks or follow up class work at home on the computer. It was good to see a positive relationship between teachers’ level of computer knowledge, skills and ICT integration in the teaching and learning process in classroom in this study. Thus, schools should make all efforts to encourage autonomy and teamwork to enhance ICT use among the teaching staff and give flexibility for teachers to adapt ICT integration in the classroom.

Abstract: Archival documents are a vital source for historical writing. This article draws on extensive experience with the archives of the Regional Directorate of the Cadastre of Constantine, Algeria, to provide researchers from around the world a guide to one of the real estate laws implemented during the French occupation of Algeria. Specifically, the article examines the Advisory Council of the Senatus from 1863, which laid the foundation for individual land ownership replacing collective land ownership that previously existed. The Algerian tribes were divided according to a new administrative system by the law, reflecting the French perspective. The law also aimed to census the population and their livestock. This law, applied during the second half of the 19th century, has rich documentation in maps, plans, and documents, which can be found today at the Regional Directorate of the Registry of Constantine. Using descriptive and statistical research methods, this study presents the archival models and the role of land law in shaping the new characteristics of the Algerian countryside. The study explores the significant changes that have occurred in agricultural and pastoral traditions, as well as the methods of agricultural land ownership.
