Reaping ITEM Benefits - A Link Between Staff ICT Access, Ability and Use

This paper reports on a survey of ICT Access, Ability and Use conducted among 25 schools in England and Wales in 2002103. The survey concentrated on school staff, and sought to investigate links between four key areas: (a) access to ICT both in and outside school; (b) perceived and desired ICT ability of staff; (c) use of ICT both in and outside school; and (d) issues which inhibit increased use of ICT in teaching, learning and administration. Survey results indicated that access to ICT resources was high for this sample, both at school and at home. Furthermore, staff reported overall satisfaction with their ICT abilities across core applications, whilst calling for more training in 'advanced' applications. Despite these confident results regarding Access and Ability, staff reported wide variability in actual Use of ICT. Results drawn from the survey are contrasted with comparable studies from the UK and overseas, with a view to assisting schools to reap the benefits of e-learning innovations.
