The Challenges Facing Participants Integration of ICT Skills and Equipment into the Classroom in Saudi Secondary Schools.

Abstract

A study was conducted of the effectiveness of the information and communications technology component (ICT) of the King Abdullah project. This study presents two significant shortcomings: A lack of training and a lack of working equipment. The results also show a lack of understanding among both students and teachers of how the equipment functions; a lack of mastery of ICT teaching techniques—and a lack of teacher training. The findings suggest expanding decision-making authority to key players from all levelswill result in the program functioning more effectively.
