Factores que dificultan la integración de las TIC en las aulas

Abstract

This article presents some of the findings of a study on factors which hinder successful implementation of educational ICT policies in compulsory schools in Andalusia, the Canary Islands, Extremadura and the Basque Country. It also provides information about the differences between these regions. Data have been obtained from a Likert scale developed by other national and international researches working on the same issue. The sample consists of 49 compulsory schools from the participant regions. The results confirm that the scale used is valid and reliable. In addition to the overall analysis of the extracted average, we found that 'time and dedication to the integration of ICT in education' and 'teachers basic ICT skills' are variables that hinder the implementation of educational ICT policies in schools. Therefore, it would be beneficial to consider the results of this study in future educational ICT policies.
