Correlational Analysis of Information and Communication Technologies’ Integration in Direct and Distance Teaching

Abstract

This study focuses on the correlations that exist between many items linked to the use and integration of Information and communication technologies (ICTs), through a survey based on the collection of data from questionnaires distributed to qualifying secondary school teachers (N = 102) in the Casablanca-Settat region, Morocco. In this study we will ask questions, and try to get some answers during the correlational analysis of the collected data, through a questionnaire, such as: Are the age and gender directly linked to the integration of ICTs by teachers? And many other questions.

A Spearman product-moment correlation coefficient was conducted to evaluate the null hypothesis that says that there is no relationship between the selected items, such as: teacher’s gender, teachers’ ages, Information and communication technologies mastery, university degree and many others). Preliminary analysis showed that there a correlation between age and Information and communication technologies mastery, and there was a significant evidence to conduct that there was a negative association between age and Information and communication technologies mastery r(102) = -.57,p=.01. The results also showed that males master Information and communication technologies well, there for there is a correlation between gender and Information and communication technologies mastery r(101) = .56,p=.02. A strong correlation between university degree and Information and communication technologies mastery r(98) = .58 ,p=.01, and others included in this research.
