Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine the problems and solutions regarding the integration of information and communication technologies into secondary education learning-teaching processes based on the views of teachers and school administrators. This study is a case study. The participants of this study are teachers and school administrators working in three different secondary education institutions in Antalya, where the Enhancing Opportunities and Technology Improvement Movement Project was implemented. To collect data, a survey questionnaire and semi-structured interviews were used. Basic descriptive statistics were employed for the analysis of quantitative data, and content analysis was employed to analyze qualitative data. It was found that teachers mostly benefit from computers, smart boards, printers, and web applications in the classroom. However, they sometimes use tablets and the Educational Informatics Network. The problems encountered in the process were related to the functionality of smart boards and tablets, the selection of appropriate materials, in-service training sessions, the curriculum, and the unintended use by students. Based on the findings, several suggestions were made for addressing technical issues in information and communication technologies, making changes to curricula and professional development programs, and raising awareness among stakeholders affected by this process.
