IKT i undervisningen
En studie kring innehåll och visioner utifrån ett lärarperspektiv
The concept of IT has developed into ICT (Information- and Communication Technology) over the years. ICT has an increasing impact in society and the Swedish curriculum (Lpo 94) highlights the importance of school to convey lasting knowledge that constitutes the general frame of reference that everyone in society is in need of. The purpose of this study was to find out how teachers perceive and use ICT in secondary school and discover the teachers? vision concerning ICT.The used approach for the study is a qualitative research with a basis of interviews. Four interviews are made with teachers from the early years of secondary school, at two different schools. The results of these interviews indicate that teachers use ICT such as computers, video, digital cameras, tape recorders and projectors, but in varying degrees. The discussion reveals how the teachers? usage of ICT, as well as their visions, is limited for various reasons. One reason appears to be the confidence that the respondents feel towards older technologies.
