TEACHER TRAINING BETWEEN INCLUSIVE EDUCATION AND ICT

Barbara B. Bocchi, Elena Bortolotti

Abstract


Technology can play an important facilitating role in the school inclusion process by supporting the students in the classroom and increasing the level of understanding.

This paper aims to explore the reasons for this still wide gap and the motivations for not using ICT in the classroom by conducting research with a sample of 115 teachers in training (TFA) using a Mixed Methods approach to investigate the resistance and motivations for this phenomenon.


Keywords


ICT, support teachers, in-service training, TFA, Innovation.
