All partners prepared Country reports based on technological needs analyses by visiting local institutions and centers. Identification of training needs was crucial for nurturing an educational sector that contributes to teacher/trainer’ and professors’ professional efficiency as well as a sustainable and well-managed 21st-century classroom.
The prepared questionnaires were completed by 160 people from target groups. According to the results, there is a demand for training in a wide variety of areas but leadership skills, teaching, and classroom competencies remain to be the most frequent areas of demand.
Most of the teachers noticed no concrete training was provided in the 21st classroom environment and management. According to the target groups, they improved their skills with good quality modern ICT equipment.
There were indicated needed areas for using technology:
- Ways to use technology to communicate and collaborate with families on school programs and students’ learning
- Performance-based students’ assessment of my students
- Research-based practices I can use in my teaching
- Identification, location, and evaluation of technology resources, e.g., websites, that I can use with my students
- Learner-centered teaching strategies that incorporate technology, e.g., project-based or cooperative learning
- Online security and safety
