Jean Claude Byungura

Jean Claude Byungura is a Senior Lecturer at Luleå University of Technology within the Department of Computer Science, Electrical and Space Engineering, specifically in the Digital Services and Systems division. He maintains a dual affiliation with the Department of Business Information Technology at the University of Rwanda, demonstrating his international research engagement.

His research focuses on Information Systems within educational contexts, particularly examining ICT integration in K-12 schooling in Rwanda. His work investigates how computer usage patterns affect learning outcomes across cognitive domains as defined by Bloom's taxonomy, with special attention to resource-constrained educational environments. His methodology often employs mixed-method designs to gather comprehensive data from diverse education stakeholders.

His recent publication analyzes optimal computer usage time in Rwandan schools, drawing on data from 859 teachers, 55 Rwanda Education Board professionals, and 22 education development partners. The research proposes evidence-based guidelines for age-appropriate technology integration and a simplified method for calculating computer-to-student ratios to maximize limited digital resources.

Dr. Byungura's scholarly contributions advance the implementation of competence-based curriculum through practical recommendations for sustainable ICT integration in education, directly supporting Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) objectives in low-resource settings.
