Eureka! Institutional Repository

The present study deals with the use of modern technology in the education sector and specifically in the Primary Education (A’/Grade Education in Greece), examining the extent to which teachers have integrated ICT into teaching, educational models usually used, the teachers’ role. and finally, ICT utility to all these. Besides the theoretical part of this study, a research with specific topic has taken place, namely the ICTs integration scale, in the Primary Education of Preveza Region, Greece. The sample surveyed consisted of 116 Primary Education teachers, in the above geographical region, while for the research function two weighted questionnaires were used, Tezci (2011) and Papanastasiou & Angeli (2008) so, every aspect of the research questions could be answered. In addition to the extent description of the subject, correlation tests run thanks to the SPSS statistical tool. In these tests, demographical parameters were correlated to the questionnaires’ questions, offering valuable information. More specifically, an overall finding was, that Primary Education Preveza’s Region teachers have integrated ICTs in their teaching process, showing also a relative comfort concerning their use However, they seem to agree that the existing institutional framework does not favour their use inside the class, that much. In addition to this, teachers participated, look like they have a vast comfort concerning the technologies use, do not afraid to use them in front of quite familiar to them, students, and they believe ICTs do offer valuable educational services. In short, as the answers to the research questions proved, teachers show positive feelings concerning the technologies use inside the class, self-efficacy feeling is at a quite high level, however, they believe that the all-around perception about ICTs use, could be better. State also should act more to this direction. Concerning the correlations (Pearson coefficient control level), only moderate level correlations were reported (while low ones were much more), although there were plenty of statistical significance cases, namely, below the acceptable limit (p value < 0,05). Educational level, gender and age did not show any significant effect on answer chosen. The final conclusion is that teachers participated, showed an appreciation to the technology use and look forward to a further integration
