A Survey on Technology-Based Teaching of Science in Secondary Education

Dr. Isidor Kokalari, Antuela Sinani

ABSTRACT:

The integration of educational technology in science instruction is increasingly highlighted in modern educational frameworks to boost teaching quality and encourage student involvement. This study focuses on the use of ICT among science educators in South Albania, examining their digital skills, teaching methods, preferred evaluation approaches, and attitudes towards online and blended learning. A quantitative approach was used through a questionnaire issued to in-service science teachers at lower and upper secondary levels, aimed at understanding their opinions on ICT in science teaching. The survey examined elements including educators’ experiences with digital tools, frequency of ICT use, deployment of cloud services, assessment systems, and perceptions of ICT’s pedagogical impact. Results indicated strong ICT integration in science teaching, improving course delivery, internet access to resources, and aiding student grasp of complex scientific concepts. Educators often display adequate digital skills and positive attitudes towards technology-integrated instruction, perceiving ICT as advantageous for improving student engagement and attaining educational goals. However, the application of digital testing tools remains limited, and traditional methods continue to be considered as effective, with blended learning gaining favor. The findings hint at a steady digital transformation in science instruction in South Albania, where ICT is increasingly employed as a supportive tool. To enhance ICT integration, the study recommends targeted professional development that focuses on pedagogical innovation, effective digital assessment methods, and blended learning models, alongside improvements in technology infrastructure and institutional support. This research offers useful insights into ICT adoption in science teaching, particularly within emerging and transitional educational contexts.
