{"title":"Examination of Readiness of Teachers in the Use of Information-Communication Technologies in the Classroom","authors":"Nikolina Ribari\u0107","volume":191,"journal":"International Journal of Educational and Pedagogical Sciences","pagesStart":729,"pagesEnd":734,"ISSN":"1307-6892","URL":"https:\/\/publications.waset.org\/pdf\/10012807","abstract":"<p>This paper compares the readiness of chemistry teachers to use information and communication technologies in chemistry in 2018 and 2021. A survey conducted in 2018 on a sample of teachers showed that most teachers occasionally use visualization and digitization tools in chemistry teaching (65%), but feel that they are not educated enough to use them (56%). Also, most teachers do not have adequate equipment in their schools and are not able to use ICT in teaching or digital tools for visualization and digitization of content (44%). None of the teachers find the use of digitization and visualization tools useless. Furthermore, a survey conducted in 2021 shows that most teachers occasionally use visualization and digitization tools in chemistry teaching (83%). Also, the research shows that some teachers still do not have adequate equipment in their schools and are not able to use ICT in chemistry teaching or digital tools for visualization and digitization of content (14%). Advances in the use of ICT in chemistry teaching are linked to pandemic conditions and the obligation to conduct online teaching. The share of 14% of teachers who still do not have adequate equipment to use digital tools in teaching is worrying.<\/p>","references":"[1]\tLester, J.
