The school of the 21st century all over the world but also in Greece has changed its profile as New Technologies are trying to change the traditional teaching methods by making the teaching process more student oriented and thus developing and offering new possibilities to teaching. The aim of the current thesis is to study and analyze the opinions of teachers of Primary Education concerning the role of the school’s management in relation to the use o New Technologies throughout the teaching process and to whether it is useful, to what extend it has been incorporated and the obstacles faced during the process of the incorporation. The quantitative method of research was chosen and carried out by electronically distributing questionnaires to 130 teachers. The results of the research illustrate the current trend. The teachers have a positive attitude towards New Technologies and consider its use to have positive effects in the learning process and so they try to incorporate them into their lesson. The lack of modern infrastructure in terms of materials and equipment is considered to be a major problem. The role of the manager is also seen as one of primary importance in relation to infrastructure and when dealing with obstacles due to its lack. What is more a great number of teachers would seek the manager’s support concerning the application of New Technologies.
