The Prospect of Integrating ICT into the Education of Young Children: The Views of Greek Early Childhood Teachers.
Tsitouridou, Melpomeni; Vryzas, Konstantinos
European Journal of Teacher Education, v27 n1 p29-45 Mar 2004
Greece has so far seen the introduction of computers into its schools on only a limited scale. Nevertheless, technological reforms are under way to integrate information and communication technology into education at all levels. This research project has studied the views of early childhood teachers on the prospect of computer use or information and communication technology (ICT) being integrated into education at the kindergarten level. The project employed a questionnaire which was completed by 278 early childhood teachers. They appear to be favorably disposed, to a greater or lesser degree, while some voiced certain reservations. The views of the teachers are shaped by their knowledge and experience of computers and by the in-service training in computer use which they have received. The results point to in-service training as a crucial issue and also identify a number of contradictions in the views of the teachers. (Contains 2 figures.)
