The Use of Computer Skills in Teaching and Administration Support


Abstract in English

This study aims at investigating teachers’ perceptions toward the barriers that face teachers during the process of using computer applications in teaching. More specifically, this tries to answer the following main questions: (1) Are there any differences in the degree of challenges facing teachers during the process of using their ICDL skills in their teaching that are related to the level of administration support? and (2) Are there statistically significant differences in the degree of challenges facing teachers during the study process of using their ICDL skills in teaching that are related to the degree of support administration with respect to the level of education, gender, work experience, subject, the date the ICDL certificate gained, and the level of students?
