TEACHERS’ OPINION ON THE USE OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY IN TEACHING THE ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIETY

Abstract

The use of information and communication technology largely provides an opportunity to develop students’ digital competencies, facilitates the process of understanding the material and makes teaching more interesting and modern. Whether and to what extent the information and communication devices will be used within the scope of the subject the Environment and Society largely depends on how well-equipped schools are, but also on the opinion that the teacher has towards them. In that respect, the respondents of our research were teachers in the territory of the city of Belgrade who, through the Google questionnaire, filled in a five-point Likert-type scale. The results of the research indicate that there is no statistically significant difference in opinion on the introduction of digital technologies in the field of the Environment and Society between male and female teachers and also teacher who attended and did not attend a course on digital technologies during their studies. Teachers essentially have a positive opinion on the use of digital technologies within the scope of the subject the Environment and Society and schools should strive to be equipped with ICT so that teaching content from all areas is presented as clearly, interestingly and accurately as possible. The following research can deal with the opinion of younger school-age students on the use of ICT within the scope of the subject the Environment and Society, but also other areas.
