ICT Use in Boarding Schools

Abstract

Information technology has for some time now been an integral part of education and management processes in boarding schools.New contemporary work methods, used by tutors who are motivated to introduce necessary and inevitable novel methods into pedagogic practices, have been put into effect. In this article, we will list a number of basic skills and knowledge that tutors and headmasters of boarding schools should know. Of course, these skills and knowledge should be known also by other teachers in schools and other institutes, but here we will only mention boarding schools in this article, because they are the focus of our research. A survey was carried out in boarding schools, searching for the opinions of headmasters and tutors on the advantages and disadvantages of keeping an electronic diary of a tutor’s work. The survey searched for eventual weaknesses and strengths of the process that may be important for the introduction and application of innovation in a pedagogic process. At the same time, the attitudes of pedagogic staff on this novel method were also investigated.
