Primary studies are being carried out in Turkey for
expanding information and communication technologies (ICT) aided
instruction activities. Subject of the present study is to identify
whether those studies achieved their goals in the application.
Information technologies (IT) formative teachers in the primary
schools, and academicians in the faculties of education were
interviewed to investigate the process and results of implementing
computer-aided instruction methods whose basis is strengthened in
theory. Analysis of the results gained from two separate surveys
demonstrated that capability of the teachers in elementary education
institutions for carrying into effect computer-aided instruction and
technical infrastructure has not been established for computer-aided
instruction practices yet. Prospective teachers must be well-equipped
in ICT to duly fulfill requirements of modern education and also
must be self-confident. Finally, scope and intensity of the courses
given in connection with teaching of the ICT in faculties of education
needs to be revised.
