Living in the information technology era, each day more and more is recognized a symbiotic relationship between technology and youth. Given the desire and willingness of young people to shape their actions according to the opportunities offered by the technology, the government sets a strategic priority for transforming the education in order to ensure youths to achieve and attain the skills of the 21st century.This research describes the most important aspects that underline the impact of applying ICT(Information Communication Technology) in the subject of mathematics as well as the effectiveness of learning the same subject through application of the contemporary practice. This study examines the research questions through a quantitative research approach. Participants included 113 fourth and fifth graders and 18 teachers at primary school “Ismail Qemali” in Gostivar.In addition to answering the research questions, the results also reflect the implications of the findings. The summarized and analyzed results provide justified suggestions. They show that ICT facilitates the achievement of mathematical concepts and at the same time enables learning to be more sustainable. Despite the fact that the application of technology has proven to be beneficial for both students and teachers in the teaching process, ICT in today's practice in most cases is still used only in preparation for teaching rather than being an integrated part of the teaching practice. As an evolving process, the teaching of mathematics dictates using ICT. However even though it is evidenced that there is an improvement in this direction, yet it cannot be said that teachers are sufficiently competent to make effective use of ICT-based technology and resources.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse the evolution of top management’s understanding of product quality in Bulgaria since the end of communism. The study examines three specific areas: top management’s understanding of the term “quality”; top management’s understanding of the relationship between quality and business performance; and top management’s understanding of the impact of job position on quality. Design/methodology/approach The paper relies on a quantitative research approach by using data from a survey of 186 companies in Bulgaria. Findings The paper suggests that senior managers in Bulgaria continue to base their understanding of “quality” on a single approach (*a characteristic of the communist era), with the product-based and the user-based approaches currently being the two most common ones. At the same time, surprisingly enough, this study claims that senior management in Bulgaria is currently well aware of the importance of quality as a dimension of firm’s competitiveness, and is also highly conscious of its roles’ impact on product quality. Research limitations/implications The results of this study are exclusively based on the case of Bulgaria and must be treated with caution in the case of other former communist states from the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) region. Practical implications This paper has relevance for both managers and companies doing business in Eastern Europe. Originality/value This is the first paper to provide detailed analysis of the evolution of the understanding of “product quality” in CEE since the end of communism. Moreover, this paper applies, for the first time, Garvin’s five approaches to defining quality within a practical context.

The traditional advantage of using Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) to enhance work flexibility also has a drawback of enabling academics to continue working even after regular working hours. This phenomenon has been referred to as technology-assisted supplemental work (TASW). Although TASW enhances academics’ work productively, they also have a negative impact on their family-life. The impact TASW has on academics and on higher education institutions can be understood by measuring the phenomenon properly by using a reliable and valid scale. The aim of this study is too validate a newly developed TASW scale by Fenner and Renn (2010). This study adopted a quantitative research approach and used an online survey to gather data. The sample included academic from a higher education in South Africa (n = 216). The results indicate that the TASW is a valid and reliable measure of technology among the sample of South African academics.
