Teaching with and about information and communications technologies

Abstract

On average across countries, most teachers tended to have experience and familiarity with information and communications technology (ICT). use of ICT during lessons or with their preparation. (Table 6.1) • While ICT use was quite widespread among teachers in general, more frequent use when teaching was only reported by less than half of the teachers, with considerable variation across participating countries. (Table 6.1) about using this technology. of online discussions, online collaboration, and the use of learning management systems.

Parental involvement in remote learning during the COVID‐19 pandemic—Dominant approaches and their diverse implications

“…than for more complex tasks related to the process of acquiring knowledge and skills, such as e‐portfolios or simulation, modelling, or concept‐mapping software (Fraillon et al., 2013 ). This tendency is also evident in current research (Fraillon et al., 2020 ). Only 5% of Polish teachers described their preparation for remote education as very good, and about 40% felt moderately prepared for giving e‐lessons (Gajderowicz & Jakubowski, 2020 ).…”

“…However, the actual use of computers for teaching purposes varies considerably between countries: 90% of teachers in Australia and 76% of teachers in Russia and Korea use a computer at least once a week, but only 41% of teachers in Poland or Croatia do so (Biedrzycki et al., 2014 ). International data from a 2018 study on the digital competences of students and teachers show that, on average, about 48% of teachers use a computer every day during lessons (Fraillon et al., 2020 ), and there are still clear differences among the countries from which the respondents come (e.g., only 25% of the surveyed teachers from Chile or 35% from Italy compared to 72% of Danish educators). According to Fraillon and colleagues ( 2020 ), this is related to systemic solutions regarding the use of modern technologies in education that are the result of school or government guidelines and teachers' lack of formal education in information technology competences.…”

“…The situation of students is similar to that of teachers. Almost all students participating in the International Computer and Information Literacy Study (Fraillon et al., 2013 , 2020 ) declared experience in using computers, having access to equipment, and a belief in their strong competences in this area. Nevertheless, the respondents declared that they use their computers at home much more often than at school: about 80% of them do so every day to communicate with others, listen to music and watch movies, search online resources or play games.…”
