Teacher Readiness and Learner Competency in Using Modern Technological Learning Spaces

Abstract

The educational space and its many aspects influence the teaching and learning process. Traditionally, educational institutions deal with learning spaces in the light of distance learning and formal education, such as classrooms, laboratories, libraries, and others. This study aimed at defining the readiness degree of teachers for using modern technological learning spaces and their relationship to the enhancement of learners’ competency. Its randomly selected sample consisted of 397 schoolteachers in the Green Line area that has been occupied by Israel since 1948. A questionnaire was used to achieve the study objectives. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 25) was used to analyze the data. The findings of the study are: (i) the readiness degree of teachers for modern technological learning spaces and the degree of enhancement of learners’ competency were moderate, (ii) there was a statistically significant correlation between the readiness degree of teachers for modern technological learning spaces and the enhancement of learners’ competency, (iii) the importance of using technological learning spaces in the educational field, and (iv) teachers had sufficient knowledge about the important role of technology in raising the outcomes of the teaching and learning process.
