Analysis of the use of ICT in compulsory bilingual secondary education in andalusia public schools. Case study

Abstract

This research focuses on an Andalusia public secondary education centre that studies the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the teaching-learning process and in bilingual education in particular. Its importance is due to the special impact that the Organic Law 8/2013 on the Improvement of the Quality of Education (LOMCE 2013) makes on ICT and the promotion of multilingualism with a view to transforming the education system. The purpose of this study is to verify the actual use of ICT by teachers who teach the non-linguistic areas included in the bilingual project of the centre and relate it to the characteristics of the teachers themselves and the benefits that the use of ICT can provide in this mode of teaching for the students. The knowledge of the factors involved in the use of ICT in the centre, both for and against them, would allow the design of improvement strategies that encourage the necessary changes to optimize and make the educational use of these new technologies more effective, converting them from mere ICT to real LKT (learning and knowledge technologies).
