Background of the study

1.1 Introduction

Research in the past decade has shown that computer technology is an effective

means for widening educational opportunities, but most teachers neither use technology

as an instructional delivery system nor integrate technology into their curriculum, (Bauer

and Kenton 2005). The study found that the teachers were highly educated and skilled

with technology, were innovative and adept at overcoming obstacles, but that they did

not integrate technology on a consistent basis as both a teaching and learning tool.

The main focus of this study is on the perceptions of educational practitioners (at

the lower secondary level) regarding obstacles that seriously impede the realization of

ICT-related goals of schools. The results are from a worldwide survey among national

representative samples of schools from 26 countries. The article contains a short

summary of the design of this project, a review of main indicators regarding ICT

(Information and Communication Technologies) in elementary and lower secondary

schools, main obstacles and an exploration of the co-variation between obstacles and

contextual factors at the country-level, (W.J. Pelgrum 2000).

Turkey has been undertaking many projects to integrate Information and

Communication Technology (ICT) sources into practice in the teaching-learning process

in educational institutions. This research study sheds light on the use of ICT tools in

primary schools in the social studies subject area, by considering various

variables which affect the success of the implementation of the use of these tools,

(Yasemin Gulbahar and Ismail Guven 2008).

Further difficulty with the introduction of the computer into the classroom was that

teachers did not fully understand the role computers should play and often felt

threatened with the possibility of being replaced by them. Two key issues were that their

students did not have enough time at computers, and that teachers needed extra planning

time for technology lessons. (Fuller, 2000).

Lastly the survey research has reported that most teachers have positive attitudes

toward the use of technology in the classroom despite lacking confidence in their

abilities with computer technology. Moreover, schools and teacher education programs

are looking for effective models from teachers who have successfully integrated

computer technology into their instruction, (Hardy, Bauer and Kenton 2005).

Many teachers have come to appreciate the limitless possibilities that web sites and

creative software can add to their traditional classroom teaching methods. It is much

easier to search for fresh ideas by surfing the Web than by poring over text based

resources (Anderson & Speck, 2001).

The purpose of this study was to examine the teaching practices of 30 teachers who

used computer technology in their instruction, both as a teaching and learning tool, and

to identify the obstacles they overcame in the process. Participant teachers were

profiled, major issues and concerns that they encountered were reported, and the overall

level of technology integration in their teaching practice was reported, ( Bauer and

Kenton 2005).

This study examines the difficulties that select tech-savvy teachers have had to

overcome in order to use computer technology (CT) in the classroom by both teachers

and students. In doing so, this study brings into question the status of actual integration

of technology into their schools. The initials CT are used in this study rather than simply

technology, which has other connotations, or IT, which can stand for either instructional

or information technology.
