State of the integration of ICT in secondary schools. A case study

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyse the adjustment of the equipment and use of technologies policies in the schools that participate in the Technological Innovation Secondary School Project of the Community of Madrid, the teacher training and the teachers’ beliefs about the use of ICT. For that, a case study methodology is carried out in three Secondary Schools. The results show that it exists some disconnection between the policies about use of ICT in the schools and the reality of them, only some aspects of ICT in education are in the teacher training, and only part of teachers is sensitive to the need of integrating the ICT in education. As conclusions, some uses of ICT and some training areas that should be further developed and that should be promoted from educational policies are identified.
