Abstract
In the last decade we have a great development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). As a result, educational institutions are increasingly incorporating these digital technologies into the teaching and learning process. Governments are making major investments to increase ICTs infrastructure in educational institutions and to train teachers to use these technologies in the teaching process. In this paper the main objectives of this study were to analyze ICTs availability and use by students and by their teachers, their knowledge of different computer applications as well as their opinion about ICT use in learning. The study was conducted in the Korca region, located in the southeastern part of Albania. We will begin with a quick look at the level of access to digital technologies. Next we will study the use, knowledge and behavior of teachers and students towards digital technology and how these factors correlate with each other. The main focus will be on students as well as their perceptions about ICTs. This will be done by examining how much students know, use and how motivated they are to use digital technology. Questionnaires for teachers and students will be examined separately for each high school to see how these factors relate to and affect each other. At the end we will draw conclusions and make recommendations on how to maximize access and use of digital technologies by students in high schools.
Highlights
Technologies such as the Internet, personal computers, and wireless telephony have turned the globe into an ever-growing network of individuals, businesses, governments, schools that communicate and interact with one another (ITG CID Harvard University, 2003).various educational institutions in our country, public and private, are trying to get involved in this network
Large investments are being made every year in the hope that Information and Commun ication Technology (ICT) will have a major positive impact on teaching outcomes
This paper suggests that students' use of technology and their level of knowledge is strongly influenced by teachers' level o f knowledge as well as teachers' attitude about ICT
Summary
Technologies such as the Internet, personal computers, and wireless telephony have turned the globe into an ever-growing network of individuals, businesses, governments, schools that communicate and interact with one another (ITG CID Harvard University, 2003).various educational institutions in our country, public and private, are trying to get involved in this network. Large investments are being made every year in the hope that Information and Commun ication Technology (ICT) will have a major positive impact on teaching outcomes. Teachers can use digital technology for easier and faster co mmunication reasons, for saving time generally by using technology for different purposes when explaining different lectures, to manage lectures, seminars etc. On the other hand, can use technological equipment for purposes such as expanding the knowledge of lectures exp lained by the teacher in the classroom by reading additional information wh ile browsing the Internet, to commun icate teachers and students, to take lectures, to develop exa mp les as well as to take assignments online and develop them with ICT assistance, to receive online secretarial services, etc
