FACTORS THAT PREVENT PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS FROM UTILIZING COMPUTERS AND OTHER NEW TECHNOLOGICAL MEANS IN THEIR WORKPLACE: THE CASE OF PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS IN THE PREFECTURE OF MAGNESIA, GREECE
Abstract
In order to
understand and to promote the educational integration and utilization of
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), teachers need to be
investigated in-depth, as substantial determinants of the educational process,
and research interest ought to be concentrated on the factors that are
inhibitory to their decisions concerning the pedagogical employment of ICT.
Therefore, the present paper examines three interrelated factors that prevent
primary school teachers from making use of computers and of other new
technological means in their workplace. Through qualitative methodology and
individual structured interviews, seven (7) teachers from public primary schools
of equal number, in the prefecture of Magnesia, Greece, report a) the main
problems encountered in the educational use of computers, b) their beliefs
about the pedagogical value of the utilization of computers in the teaching
process, and c) the “official policy” of their school of service regarding the
usage of computers in instructional practice. According to the findings of this
study, among others, a) the quantitatively and qualitatively inadequate or
insufficient school infrastructure and technical support are ascertained,
whilst highlighting b) the positive learning outcomes of the said use of
computers, along with schoolteacher beliefs in favor of their confined
employment. Finally, c) a range of existing school policy is observed,
including the formal or informal encouragement of the voluntary use of
computers, or the absence of corresponding guidelines. Overall, despite their
limitations, the abovementioned results can be applied to pre-service and
in-service teacher training, and in the formulation of the associated
educational policy, taking into account the available national financial
resources.
