To discover the real availability of ICT resources, their use and the capacities and the degree of satisfaction of teachers and pupils.
Quantitative studies on ICT resources in education centres (2006)
IiC-4: Quantitative studies said....
“Training needs, especially in methodology”
A very high percentage of them would like supplementary training in the different areas
evaluated (especially methodology), even those areas where they have had previous
training.
“Little confidence at the technical and teaching-related Levels”
The teaching staff are more widely trained in “Office-like packages” than in teaching methodology, but in both cases only one in five
teachers claim to be confident at a technical or teaching-related level.
How do teaching staff use them
and what relevant training do they
have? What are seen as the key obstacles to a
more widespread presence of ICT at
educational centres?
