Wat triggert een leerkracht om zich te ontwikkelen op ICT gebied?

ICT has become increasingly integrated into daily life: WiFi spots are available in every public place and social media are very popular. However, the usage of ICT within primary education is more variable: Some teachers utilize ICT more extensively than others. This paper provides the results of quantitative and qualitative research conducted on ICT usage within primary education in The Netherlands. Research questions were answered, to answer the following question: What factors motivates a primary school teacher to use ICT in their lessons? The research questions that were used to give an answer were: What is the relation between ‘frequency of participation’ and ‘readiness for action’ (chi-square)? Is there a difference in educational ICT-use between men and women (t-test)? Does ICT-attitude predict the educational ICT-use (linear regression)? What factors stimulate/limit the PrOnt-activities of teachers? The study consisted of 218, randomly selected, respondents who work at a...Show moreICT has become increasingly integrated into daily life: WiFi spots are available in every public place and social media are very popular.

What factors stimulate/limit the PrOnt-activities of teachers? The study consisted of 218, randomly selected, respondents who work at a primary school in The Netherlands. Ten respondents were interviewed. The results were presented at the University of Leiden. The results of the research indicate that there are multiple factors that may influence ICT usage by a teacher. There was correlation to be found between gender and ICT usage, with men using ICT more often than women. Frequency of being a part of an activity and personal attitude are also factors that correlate with the usage of ICT. More research should be done to gain a deeper understanding of what is actually causing these correlations that have been identified.Show less
