Factors Influencing the Teaching Skills with ICT of Teachers Involved in Education of Children with Health Impairments

Abstract

This study examined the teaching skills with ICT of teachers involved in education of children with health impairments in terms of the attribute factors that influence them, their association with the illness category, and the characteristics of teachers who answered that they were good at using ICT. The findings indicate that age affects the teaching skills with ICT of teachers involved in education of children with health impairments. Moreover, the study suggested that differences in the condition profiles and needs of children with health impairments may have an impact on the teaching skills with ICT. Respondents who answered that they were good at using ICT were those who have attended many training programs. This suggests that it would be effective to plan systematic training in the use of ICT in education of children with health impairments.
