Computers in Primary Schools in the Republic of Ireland – Use and Ergonomics
نویسندگان
چکیده
A national survey to investigate the use of computers by primary school children in the Republic of Ireland was carried out by postal questionnaire. Teacher education on computer related ergonomics was also investigated. Questionnaires (n=1863) were returned from 416 of the 830 schools included in the study. Almost all schools (99.7%) had computers for children’s use. The majority (89.6%) of teachers had received computer training but few (17.6%) had received ergonomic information. Respondents were not satisfied with their current knowledge of ergonomics. It is recommended that ergonomics is included in existing teacher education programmes.
