| Cur Síos: | In order to analyze how Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) impact secondary school educational processes, a study was designed and executed using a descriptive research methodology with data collected from the field through a survey. The universe for this study consisted of five (5) high schools with a sample of twenty-five purposefully selected students. Noteworthy findings include: Overall ignorance about ICTs among most of the surveyed students. Fewer students participating in educational interactions since they do not use ICTs at school. There is a general lack of awareness about the use of ICTs to enhance educational interactions. Yet, there was a perceived willingness to delve more into the benefits of using ICTs in education. Recommendations suggest developing ICT-based teaching strategies in all areas of learning and knowledge as well as develop teacher training courses that focus on ICTs as a mechanism for enhancing all school activities. Discussion points include accentuating the benefits of Information and Communication Technologies, specifically in educational contexts to provide a broad gamut of educational opportunities for both teachers and students. |
