Info

The number of lesson hours in which computers are used differs fromone sector to the next (Figure 3.4). Computers are used most in vocationaleducation and training (10 hours per week), not merely as a pedagogicaltool but also to help pupils prepare for their careers. For example, pupilsin secretarial school learn to use word processing programs, and pupilstraining to be assembly technicians in the metalworking industry learn touse a computer-controlled lathe. Observations of 400 lessons in vocationaleducation and training reveal that 40% of the hours devoted to ICT focuson computer applications used in the occupations for which the pupils arebeing trained (Plantinga, 2011).Secondary school teachers make the least use of computers, relativelyspeaking (6 hours a week). Primary school teachers use computers for anaverage of 8 hours a week in their lessons. As mentioned above, teachersin all three sectors expect that they will make much more use of ICT in theyears ahead.Teachers’ current and future computer use, in hoursNumber of hours per weekNowIn three years’ time14121086812691013420PRIMSECFigure 3.4: Average number of hours a week that teachers use computers in their lessons,and forecast for the near future (TNS NIPO, 2010)VET36
