Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is perceived as a part of the core of education in this 21st century-learning. Experts have explored the integration of pedagogical ICT in teaching and learning recently. But none of them explored the teacher’s competence to integrate pedagogical ICT as they assess the extent to which ICT integrated by the teacher in teaching. This research aims to investigate the teacher competence levels to use ICT and the extent to which the ICT integrated by the teacher in English language teaching. Classroom observation and interview were used as data collecting technique to reach the objectives. To produce an in-depth description, this case study focuses on the description of the individual teacher as the target of the investigation. Teacher’s ICT competence levels were classified using professional framework rank ICT competence level (UNESCO, 2011). While SAMR model was used as the data analysis tool to determine the extent to which ICT integrated by the teacher in the English language teaching. The results of this research indicate that the teacher's competence to use ICT was still beginner. It means that the teacher is dominant with the use of basic features of presentation, word processor software such as powerpoint and Microsoft word and other digital resources. It is also reported that teacher’s ICT integration level with the domination at the substitution level and augmentation level. These findings reflect the ability of the teacher in integrating ICT in teaching. The teacher is considered only be able to use basic function in a limited number of computer application with only little change and improvement.

The purpose of this study was to investigate students' pedagogical use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and the soft and hard factors that influence their use. The participants were 3380 randomly selected students from 24 public and private schools. A quantitative method was used in this study with Likert five-point scale questionnaires to collect data. The study revealed that students' pedagogical use of ICT was low. Most students reported that they were competent in the use of smart phones for educational purposes. The study found that soft and hard factors are interrelated and play a crucial part in students' pedagogical use of ICT. It was interesting to note that ICT competence, access to computers, and the programs students were enrolled in had impact on the results.

Šiandien edukacinės aplinkos sparčiai keičiasi. Tam didelę įtaką daro informacinių ir komunikacinių technologijų plėtra. Straipsnio tikslas – apžvelgti edukacinių aplinkų kaitos, susijusios su technologijų plėtra, ypatumus kintant pedagoginei paradigmai. Kaip mokslinio darbo rezultatas parengtas teorinis informacinėmis ir komunikacinėmis technologijomis papildytų edukacinių aplinkų kaitos modelis. Naudojant SITES2006 tyrimų duomenis įvertinta Lietuvos bendrojo lavinimo mokyklos edukacinė aplinka ir jos kaitą lemiantys veiksniai.Change of Educational Environments, Enriched with Information and Communication TechnologiesVaino Brazdeikis SummaryEducational environment is changing rapidly. Information and communication technology (hereinafter – ICT) are doing a large infl uence in it. The goal of the article is to analyze change of educational environment enriched with ICT in context of the change of the pedagogical paradigm. The conclusion was made: the educational environments enriched by ICT are a dynamic, new quality–oriented education teaching and learning spaces, which created and managed of the ICT competences’ teachers and where used ICT – based methods and tools are. As a result of scientifi c work prepared the four stage model of change of educational environments, enriched by ICT. In the model each stage are characterized by teacher competence, teaching method and infrastructure. Secondary analyze of data from SITES2006 research, allowed to make issue on educational environment in Lithuanian school. Analysis shows that the implementation of ICT in Lithuania schools meets in second (application) stage. Discussion on development of educational environments, enriched by ICT is proposed to achieve a balance between the various ongoing processes on infrastructure solutions and the teaching of ICT competence development and on updating learning objectives, content and methods.18px;">

Introduction: the usage of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to treat psychological problems such as addictions, is a recent issue that has allowed the recognition that the use of this type of tools is effective towards the problem they claim to solve, in a similar way as traditional therapy treatments do. Objective: to evaluate the efficacy of the Brief Intervention Program for Adolescents who Abuse Drugs (PIBA) and the Brief Advice in the Web Page modality regarding the barriers in the implementation of drug abuse treatments by the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: we started from a A-B-A single-case design with high school adolescent students who reported abusive use and associated consequences. The study consisted of four stages 1) evaluation, 2) admission, 3) PIBA or Brief Advice and 4) follow-up. Results: the results obtained showed a decrease in the pattern of alcohol consumption and an increase in self-efficacy to control consumption in various risk situations. Discussion and conclusions: the program provided the necessary tools for adolescents to maintain their consumption goal.

This paper studies whether and how information and communication technology (ICT) changes self-construal and cultural values in a developing country. Ethiopian children were given laptops in the context of an ICT for development scheme. We compared children who used laptops (n = 69) with a control group without laptops (n = 76) and a second control group of children whose laptop had broken down (n = 24). Results confirmed that after 1 year of laptop usage, the children’s self-concept had become more independent and children endorsed individualist values more strongly. Interestingly, the impact of laptop usage on cultural values was mediated by self-construal (moderated mediation). Importantly, modernization did not “crowd out” traditional culture: ICT usage was not associated with a reduction in traditional expressions (interdependent self-construal, collectivist values). Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
