Secondary vs. Primary
Secondary teachers seem more
comfortable with ICT and are more
inclined to find it helpful in a variety ofplanning and management tasks. On
the other hand, they are less convinced
than primary teachers about thebenefits to pupils.

Losing control of the learning The majority of teachers first priority is to
maintain order in the classroom and to have a
controlled learning environment. Any suggestion
of adopting very innovative teaching techniques
such as using ICT is therefore seen as
threatening this orderly pattern and therefore not
desirable. There is a genuine fear amongstmany teachers about ICT and scepticism of its
value to their pupils (Cox, Preston & Cox, 2000)

there is often a difficulty for teachers who
have had some training to be able to useICT because there are insufficient ICTresources in the school or there is notenough time to review then and plan
lessons incorporating their use. (Cox,Preston & Cox, 2000)
