In the article the conceptual and terminological apparatus of the research are outlined and the essence of concepts «information», «communication», «information and communication technologies» is clarified, in particular the latter is interpreted as a combination of software, methods and means that ensure the effective assimilation of material as a result of transmission, processing, receiving, sharing, storing new information with the help of modern technical (information) resources. Classification of means of information and communication technologies is worked out, which focuses on priority tasks (educational, health improving and upbringing), that physical culture teacher solves. These specified groups are divided into types (with the use of computer and without using it) and categories (with the help of Internet and without it). Group of realization of educational tasks involves such means of ІCТ as: electronic encyclopaedias, video data, cloudy technologies, TV conference, games, interactive board, application software, presentation, smartphone; health improving – smartphone and fitness gadgets; upbringing – electronic encyclopaedias, video data, games, interactive board, presentation. It is discovered that information and communication technologies, as part of innovative education, assist the effectiveness of education, development and upbringing, increase of the personal interest and motivation of students to lessons, their application is inalienable part of professional activity of physical culture teacher. On the basis of investigation with experimental methods it turns out that most physical education teachers use ICT in their professional activities to some extent, but do not have profound knowledge regarding the completeness of their technical and educational capabilities, seldom use them in training, do not use the full range of tools. Almost half (49.5 %) of respondents understand the concept of «information and communication technologies» as computer programs, most of them indicate that in their professional activity they mostly use presentations and video materials (31 % and 38.5 %, respectively), less often teachers apply fitness gadgets and smartphone apps (22.5 % and 16 %, respectively), and cloud technology are rarely used by teachers. The correlation between teachers’ age, their experience and the degree of ICT use in professional activity was found out.  It turned out that middle-aged teachers (31-36 years old) use ICT more often, but those with 5 to 20 years of experience, and rarely – young teachers with up to 5 years of experience. Teachers over 40 do not often use innovative technical means. It has been found out that young teachers (with work experience up to 5 years ) mostly use gadgets for personal purposes, but have no experience in using them in their professional activities; experienced teachers prefer traditional teaching methods and reject innovative opportunities, that is why teachers with average age of 31-36 years and average work experience of 15 years fall into the category of frequent ICT users.

We present findings from interviews with 23 individuals affiliated with non-profit organizations (NPOs) to understand how they deploy information and communication technologies (ICTs) in their civic engagement efforts. Existing research about NPO ICT use is often critical, but we did not find evidence that NPOs fail to use tools effectively. Rather, we detail how NPOs assemble various ICTs to create infrastructures that align with their values. Overall, we find that existing theories about technology choice (e.g., task-technology fit, uses and gratifications) do not explain the assemblages NPOs describe. We argue that the infrastructures they fashion can be explained through the lens of moral economies rather than utility. Together, the rhetorics of infrastructure and moral economies capture the motivations and constraints our participants expressed and challenge how prevailing theories of ICT use describe the non-profit landscape.

The article is devoted to the problem of bullying and anti-bullying policy in school institutions. The problem of bullying, from a scientific point of view, began to be studied at the end of the 20th century. Today, this issue is covered in all laws and programs related to ensuring a safe educational environment for participants in the educational process. Bullying, as a social and pedagogical problem, has been actively studied since the beginning of the development of information and communication technologies, which contributed to the rapid dissemination of not only verbal, but also media information: photo and video facts about manifestations of bullying between children. The article presents the results of the research "Unicef", "La Strada-Ukraine", which indicate the prevalence of the phenomenon of bullying among children. The essence of the concept of "bullying" is revealed, as well as categories that are close in meaning: "violence", "aggression", "bullying", "bullying", "conflict". The structural components of the roles of the bullying process are described: initiators or offenders, helpers of offenders, defenders of the victim, victims and observers. The article provides data on anti-bulging programs in foreign countries and focuses on the problem of anti-bulging policy in educational institutions of our country. Three main approaches that make up the anti-bullying policy of schools are analyzed: disciplinary, restorative and an integrated approach, which is implemented using two directions: managerial and educational. The directions of anti-bullying policy at school are presented, namely managerial and educational. The managerial direction is organized and implemented by the head of the educational institution. The constituent components of activities in this area are an analysis of the current situation in an educational institution, the development of an official position of the institution regarding bullying and informing all participants in the educational process about it, the development of rules of conduct for all participants in the educational process and informing about them, defining the responsibilities and responsibilities of participants educational process in relation to the rules of safe behavior in an educational institution, instructing employees, students and parents.

Due to the undesirable effects of the gap between citizens to access and use information and communication technologies (ICT), most researchers have been paying much attention to the threat of a digital divide. Unfortunately an amazingly large number of people do not have the abilities to use the ICTs in a proper way and, therefore, cannot draw advantages from its usage. As a result, digital divide is commonly regarded as a potential barrier for participation in the information society. This study measure the digital divide in Saudi Arabia by analyzing the results of a small-scale study conducted at the University KAU, regarding students’ and university members’ perceptions toward the usage of ICT. This analysis measure the digital divide concerning some factors like gender, educational level using a questionnaire. The analysis shows that KAU has no digital divide. Key words: digital divide, information and communications technology, ICT, diffusion of technology, second order effects.

The number of migrants is increasing worldwide coupled with an ever-expanding entrenchment of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the fabric of daily life. There has been little attention in the health disciplines to the unique ways migrants adopt and are influenced by ICTs across multiple local and transnational social spaces. This scoping review explores the current evidence on migrants’ ICT-mediated transnational social activities and related influences on wellbeing. The review was conducted using Arksey and O'Malley’s (2005) methodological framework and a total of 37 articles were included for the final study. Key findings highlight barriers and facilitators of ICT use in transnational contexts, types of ICT-mediated transnational social activities; and reported influences on migrants’ wellbeing. Migrants’ ICT use facilitates reciprocal channels of social support and continuation of valued social roles. Social role disruption, unequal exchange of social support, and mismatch between migrants’ expectations around ICT use and that of left-behind communities are some of the negative processes with psychological, social, and emotional consequences identified in the review.  Main review conclusions emphasize the need to further explore the quality and intensity of ICT-mediated social influences on migrants’ wellbeing and to incorporate a transnational lens in the design of digital learning interventions targeting vulnerable migrant populations.

Educational change, particularly change involving the adoption of educational innovations, is a complex process. In Malaysia, the significant role of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in promoting digital education is reflected in the national ICT in education policy. Nevertheless, studies in the Malaysian educational context have shown that the policy implementation resulted in varying degrees of success. Through a discourse analysis approach, this paper aims to examine the evaluation studies on large scale initiatives introduced to digitize the Malaysian education system, from the Smart Schools programme to the incorporation of the Frog Virtual Learning Environment in classroom. The rationale behind these top-down initiatives and how they affected the stakeholders at the micro level, namely, teachers and students, are reviewed and analysed. The analysis informs our understanding of the factors that contribute to the successful and unsuccessful implementation of these initiatives and guide the planning of future policies.
