| Abstract | ||
| This study aims to identify the views of Heads of Departments and teachers on the use of computers in the teaching process at secondary schools in the State of Kuwait. It aims to identify the extent of their use of the computer and whether there are differences between its use in administrative and technical aspects in secondary schools within the State of Kuwait according to the variables of the study. The study also highlights the constraints limiting the use of computers in the teaching process, i.e. the constraints related to teachers, students, curricula and teaching resources. To achieve the objectives of this study, a survey of (71) clauses has been used. The survey clauses were developed in escalated triple scale model and were categorized under three headings: (1) Uses of computers in teaching administrative and technical aspects, (2) Uses of computers as a tool in the teaching process and (3) Constraints restricting the use of computers in the teaching process. The third heading has been divided into four sub-headings, the constraints related to teachers, the constraints related to students, the constraints related to curricula and the constraints related to learning resources. During the academic year 2018/2019, a random sample made up of secondary school Heads of Departments and teachers teaching theoretical subjects working in the secondary schools of the the six educational districts was selected. The study provided several results of interest, most important of which are: § a positive attitude in the views of the Heads of Departments and teachers towards the use of computers in administrative and technical aspects, § a positive attitude towards the use of the computer as a teaching aid in accordance with the Mean, § the existence of constraints in the use of computer in teaching related to teachers, students, curricula and learning resources. The results of the study also show that there are statistically significant differences among the variables of the study attributed to gender, and specialization. | ||
