信息與通信技術(shù)一體化
信息與通信技術(shù)的一體化正成為教育領(lǐng)域最前沿的工具,并對(duì)教師和學(xué)生的行為產(chǎn)生了深遠(yuǎn)的影響。學(xué)生是否能在信息和通信技術(shù)的幫助下獲得成功,很大程度上取決于教育工作者的態(tài)度以及對(duì)這項(xiàng)技術(shù)的接受程度(Teo 2006)。教師是借助信息通信技術(shù)開發(fā)學(xué)習(xí)機(jī)會(huì)的中心力量。
這項(xiàng)技術(shù)使教師能進(jìn)行個(gè)別化教學(xué),允許學(xué)生用自己的節(jié)奏學(xué)習(xí)和發(fā)展(Peck and Domcott1994)。即使在傳統(tǒng)的機(jī)械練習(xí)學(xué)習(xí)中,信息和通信技術(shù)可以提高學(xué)習(xí)成果,并在教育和通信技術(shù)集成發(fā)展中創(chuàng)新。教學(xué)和學(xué)習(xí)的方式都會(huì)發(fā)生改變。學(xué)生可以享受更活躍的學(xué)習(xí),比如他們可以把外面的世界帶入課堂,可以與同伴、專家在線互動(dòng)。此外,學(xué)生可以通過(guò)查找合適信息、識(shí)別資源的真實(shí)性來(lái)做出明智選擇、與他人合作等方式獲得學(xué)習(xí)新技能的機(jī)會(huì),
Integration of information and communication technology (ICT) tools has been at the forefront of the education sector and has had a profound effect on the way on teachers and learners. The Success of student learning with the help ICT will depend largely on the attitudes of educators and their willingness to embrace the technology. (Teo 2006). Teachers are the central forces in tapping the learning opportunities with the aid information communication technology.
Technology enables teachers to individualise instruction, allows students to learn and develop at their own pace (Peck and Domcott1994). ICT can improve learning outcomes, even in traditional rote learning exercises and innovative in the development of pedagogy-ICT integration. Changes may be introduced in both teaching-learning methods. Students can enjoy learning actively, such as by bringing the outside world into the classroom or by interacting with peers, experts and online aids. Furthermore, the students will have the opportunity to learn new skills, such as locating appropriate information, making informed choices by learning to recognise the authenticity of sources, and collaborating with other learners.
Five important reasons for teachers to use technology in education: motivation, distinctive instructional abilities, higher productivity of teachers, essential skills for the information age, support for new teaching techniques (Roblyer and Edwards 2000). Moreover it promotes to social and economic interests, such as reducing the costs of education and preparing students for work and for living in a society permeated with technology. Many countries make use of computer technology in schools by implementing computer laboratories and embedding actual classrooms with digital technologies to assist and support current classroom learning.
Teachers' beliefs motivate students and enhance their self- esteem as well as influence decisions about computer use. - (Blumefeld 1992). One of these factors is teachers' attitudes towards the use of technology in teaching and learning process. Research shows that the success of technology use in the educational settings largely depends on teachers attitudes toward technology use (Albirini, 2006, Baylor & Ritchie, 2002). Teachers' attitudes are considered as a major predictor of the use of new technologies in the educational field (Albirini, 2006). Thus, their attitudes toward computer can play an important role in the acceptance of computers. Thus, an attitude plays an important role in determining people reactions to situations. A reviewof the psychological literature reveals diverse definitions of attitudes. Much of the research on barriers also considers what factors enable or encourage people to use Ict. It is important to recognise that a number of factors have been identified which encourage and enable teachers to integrate ICT into their teaching.
ICT can offer teachers, whatever their context is: scaffolding tools to support their own construction and understanding of new academic and professional knowledge; environments and contexts for learning, enabling teachers to experience new situations, activities, problems and solutions; communicative tools facilitating unique social participation structures between teachers; meta -cognitive tools enabling teachers to reflect on the learning process itself, both at individual and group individual (Leech, Moon & Power,2002).Thus, it can be concluded that the attitude related to the usage frequency of technology and usage amount of the technology.

Older teachers seem to be reluctant towards the incorporation of ICT in schools, while student teachers and some newly qualified teachers are the most confident users of ICT( Galanouli & McNair 2001). Underlying these anxieties are fear of embarrassment when using computers (Russell & Bradley 1997) and fear of losing professional status through a downgrading of traditional pedagogical skills (Fabry & Higgs 1997).
It seems that teachers' attitudes regarding ICT use in schools not only pose difficulties in the use of technology but also cancel the learning benefits expected to spring from the instructional reform. Teachers are characterised as being 'technophobic' about using ICT (Rosen & Weil 2002)
