How Often Do Pre-School Teachers in Greece Use NT and ICT in Their Classrooms? A Study of Continuing Education Needs
Pange, Jenny
Journal of Adult and Continuing Education, v10 n1 p57-65 May 2004
During the last five years one of the main goals of Educational Departments in Greece has been to prepare teachers who, amongst other tasks, must be able to apply New Technologies to their everyday teaching and use Information and Communication Technologies to retrieve information about many classroom activities. This study refers to the courses taught on New Technologies and Information and Communication Technologies, at a postgraduate level, in a continuing education programme, at the Department of Pre-school Education at the University of Ioannina, Greece. It also discusses the use of New Technologies by in-service pre-school teachers as well as their expectations of the application of New Technologies to kindergartens. Their suggestions for better training in the use of New Technologies during their undergraduate studies, and the problems of applying them in the classroom, are also presented.
