The main aim of this study is to explore the degree of Internet use among Jordanian students with and without learning difficulties at primary schools. Descriptive-analytical approach was utilized to achieve the study aims. The study sample consisted of (144) students from different primary schools in Jordan. A validated scale was developed to collect the data. SPSS software was employed to analyze the collected data; means, standard deviations, and t-test were calculated. Findings revealed that students with learning difficulties had good computer skills which were similar to students without learning difficulties. It also showed that there were no statistical significant differences in the skills of using the Internet, the degree of its use, the areas of use, and the problems that hindered their use attributed to the classification variable (with and without learning disabilities). This indicates that students with learning difficulties have skills and abilities to use the Internet in all areas, just as students without learning difficulties. The study, therefore, recommends making technological useful facilities available to the students with learning difficulties, to their teachers, and their parents.

“…Scholars, teachers and curriculum developers worldwide wonder how to organize effective learning, and they arrive at the conclusion that development of informational skills in the information-educational environment of today is not only important but essential. Among other matters, their investigations concern the age in which it is advisable to start using electronic teaching aids in education (Alkhawaldeh, Hyassat, Al-Zboon, & Ahmad, 2017;Pasterk & Bollin, 2017), selection of information content (Bulman & Fairlie, 2016), building an individual learning trajectory for schoolchildren (Lapenok et al, 2016), introducing elements of remote learning in school (Nakayama, de Almeida, & Vicari, 2004), required level of a teacher's proficiency in computer technologies (Baturay, Gokcearslan, & Ke, 2017). https://dx.doi.org/10.15405/epsbs.2019.02.02.48 Corresponding Author: Irina Dobrotina Selection and peer-review under responsibility of the Organizing Committee of the conference eISSN: 444 Scholars discuss what learning that meets informational and educational needs of today's schoolchildren should look lie if we want it to help students build cognitive independence in the information space (Ivanova, 2016).…”

Factors of the Readiness for Information Exchange in Pre-School Education Establishments

The development of an interactive environment that allows for a significant enhancement in interaction opportunities with information resources for a child is one of the primary tasks of the pre-school educational process organisation today. This study involved 50 establishments for children in Chelyabinsk (N = 1280: 230 children, 350 teachers, 700 parents). We used two techniques to collect data: a questionnaire for teachers on the use of Information Exchange in the educational process, their attitude towards ICTs, and the available resources (resources included technological aspects, such as infrastructure, equipment, and software, as well as educational aspects, such as further training and the availability of a qualified methodologist); and a conversation with children on their experience in using and operating digital devices for various tasks. The questions were divided into four groups that provided us with data on the following topics: the degree of inclusion of parents in the interaction (a triad of a child, a digital device, and a parent), the awareness of the child of the capacity and resources of ICTs, motivation and interests that can be realized through digital technologies, and self-reflection as the capacity of the child to predict and analyse their activities. The Hypothesis that the level of readiness for information exchange in subjects of the educational process can be increased through further training of pre-school teachers and the establishment of a single information space in a kindergarten group has been proven right. The findings the study proved such an influence and proposed directions for further studying.
