ICT integration policies in public schools in the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country

In the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country a series of strategic decisions have been made regarding various policies, institutional plans and initiatives for the integration, use and innovation of ICT in schools. From past initiatives primarily focused on providing infrastructure to the subsequent focus on improving teacher training, the current model attempts to integrate existing infrastructure policy and teacher training for a more efficient use of ICTs. This study aims to describe and analyze the impact of these tools on the school environment using a qualitative methodology based on the collection of ideas, opinions and evaluations regarding policies, technicians, school directors as well as in-depth interviews with teachers (N=25). The various educators interviewed recognize that the proposed model to unify technology, psychopedagogy and organization suffers from a lack of clear information and financing, which has a visible negative impact on schools.
