However, some teachers are still unaware of how these skills can be used to enhance their teaching . The current study aims to assesses secondary school chemistry teachers’ technological, pedagogical, and collaborative skills of utilizing web-based discussion tools in teaching organic chemistry. The study sampled 133 chemistry teachers from Kamonyi and Gasabo districts, Rwanda. A mixed-method approach was employed. The quantitative results did not find a statistically significant difference in teachers’ technological skills, pedagogical, and collaborative skills of using web-based discussion tools based on schools location, school ownership, and gender with a p-value of 0.81, 0.093, and 0.065, respectively.
