Teachers’ perspectives on the digitalization of education
Teachers’ perspectives on the digitalization of education

Summary/Abstract: Education has faced significant challenges in its digitization process, as the integration of technology in classrooms is often hampered by limited funding and the need for at least basic digital literacy among teachers. The aim of this research is to identify the challenges a teacher faces in a digitized classroom during the teaching-learning process. The question at the center of this study is: How do teachers perceive classroom digital integration, and what obstacles do they face? This study is relevant as it provides valuable insights into the obstacles that teachers face in adapting to digital environments, thus laying the foundation for the development of effective strategies to improve digitized teaching practices. This research used a structured questionnaire consisting of 20 questions. Given the small sample size (19 teachers), the study does not aim to make a statistical generalization. Instead, it focuses on identifying general trends, providing a predominantly descriptive perspective. The research explores the divide between teachers who support the integration of technology in the educational process and those who remain skeptical. The results indicate that most teachers prefer a mixed model, combining traditional methods with technology. Although a majority of teachers identified themselves with an intermediate level of digital competences, they expressed a strong need for additional training and institutional support. Increased student engagement was the benefit most frequently mentioned in the responses, although technical issues (e.g. poor connectivity or faulty devices) were reported as the main barriers. Teachers generally agreed that technology can improve student performance, but only in certain contexts.
