Literature Review on the Factors Affecting Primary Teachers' Use of Digital Technology
Spiteri, Marthese; Chang Rundgren, Shu-Nu
Technology, Knowledge and Learning, v25 n1 p115-128 Mar 2020
Digital technology is widely available in schools; however, results from international studies indicate that they are not effective toward students' educational achievement. Teachers need to realise the potential of digital technology in their daily practises and use them well. However, teachers need training and guidelines to develop their expertise when using technology for teaching and learning. Failure to do so might result in students lacking the necessary coping skills for their future life in the information age. This literature review aimed to find out what factors affect primary teachers' use of digital technology in their teaching practices, so as to suggest better training, which will eventually lead to a more guided and relevant use of technology in education. After applying the concept map to the data from the selected studies, four influencing factors were identified: teachers' knowledge, attitudes and skills, which are also influenced by and influence the school culture. From these findings, recommendations on teacher training with technology and suggestions for further research are given.
