Teaching Through Technology – the Experience of Bulgarian Teachers

Report published in the Proceedings of the National Conference on "Education and Research in the Information Society", Plovdiv, May, 2016

Information and communication technologies (ICT) have a huge impact on the quality of teaching, particularly in terms of the traditional classroom. This influence can be assessed by examining the teachers’ opinions on the use of modern tools in teaching and learning in school. For this purpose, we conducted a study through an online anonymous survey of 190 Bulgarian teachers; most of them regularly attend conferences and symposia dedicated to innovative forms of learning. The study is focused on the professional experience, the degree of technology integration in different pedagogical approaches and subjects, and the type and origin of the e-learning resources. The results are processed; a mathematical modelling and analysis of results is made.
