Používanie IKT pomôcok pri výučbe u učiteľov v slovenských národnostných školách v Maďarsku

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to point out the relationship between socio-demographic factors (age, gender) and the ICT use of Slovak teachers at ethnic schools in Hungary. The results of this research dealing with ICT use in relation to gender and age are inconsistent and yield findings with varying results. This paper is based on the data gathered in a survey conducted in 10 Hungarian counties between January and April 2019, using a sample of 139 teachers at ethnic schools (monolingual, bilingual, and schools teaching the ethnic language as a separate subject). We processed the obtained research results using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics methods (Pearson correlation coefficient; Mann-Whitney U test). The analyses showed that the older, 51-68-year-old generation of teachers use all the ICT resources mentioned in the questionnaire the least, compared to the other age categories. No statistically significant differences were found between any of the groups when comparing men and women. The study concludes with the finding of no relationship between educators' ICT usage rate with gender. On the contrary, it can be concluded that in relation to the rate of ICT use with the age of the educator, there are significant differences.
