Challenges of teachers in using modern technology in the education process

Abstract

In the 21st century world, technology has been integrated into every aspect of our lives. In this period using technology has become a necessity. Technology has changed the characteristics of the time we are in by carrying a revolutionary quality and has made it the age of technology. At the same time, while technology has entered our lives and created changes even in the genetics of the new generation of children, it is inevitable that it will also create changes in the education system in which these children are located. In this globalizing world, it is important for students to actively participate in learning and have the skills to produce as well as use technology. Schools need to transform in a way that adapts to the new generation called “digital borns” (Prensky, 2006; cited in Hacıfazıloğlu, Karadeniz and Dalgıç, 2011). Managers and educators, who are administrative factors in the process of integration of information technologies into education, play an important role (Brooks- Young, 2002; Holland, 2000; Çuhadar and Bülbül 2012).
