ABSTRACT: The Covid-19 context has led
to the closure of schools worldwide to stop the spread of the pandemic. This
situation has disrupted not only school programs but also curricula. To face
this challenge, distance learning has been a palliative adopted by several
governments. This article attempts to investigate the level of preparedness of
learners, teachers, and managers in educational institutions for this new didactic
approach. To assess the level of preparation and integration, 423 subjects were
selected at random from 47 institutions. The analyses revealed a very
insufficient level of preparation of the respondents in all educational
institutions. They also showed a very insignificant level of ICT integration.
Thanks to the simple linear regression analysis, which showed a 51% prediction
level of the level of ICT integration by the level of preparation, we noticed
that the level of ICT integration reflects the preparation of the educational
actors interviewed in the city of Goma.
