The Opinion of Elementary School Teachers about the Use of ICT in Biology Classes in Four European Countries

Abstract

In the 21stcentury pupils learn how to use technological devices from their early childhood. Therefore, the use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in teaching and learning processes seems obvious. For the purpose of this research, 305 class teachers from four European countries (Serbia, Spain, Croatia and Hungary) were asked about their experiences and opinions on the use of ICT in biology classes. The aim was to determine whether they consider that this way of teaching is effective and may motivate pupils for further learning. The results showed that the teachers from all four countries agree that pupils enjoy and are more motivated when learning with the use of the ICT, and it improves the quality of their lessons.
