一些研究认为，在信息时代，教育中使用新技术是必不可少的。资讯及通讯科技融入教与学，为教师和学生提供更多机会，使他们在资讯年代能更有效地工作。然而，一些障碍可能会阻碍教师将信通技术纳入课堂，并阻止他们通过使用信通技术引入辅助材料。研究信息技术在教育中应用的障碍可以帮助教育工作者克服障碍，将信息技术融入日常教育。本研究旨在调查教师对阻碍教师将信息技术融入课堂的障碍和挑战的看法。因此，一个有效的问卷调查管理的30名高中英语教师谁是从五个主要教育区在伊朗伊斯法罕市。采用分层随机抽样的方法，从每个教育区选择相同数量的受访者。调查结果表明，虽然教师有强烈的愿望，在课堂上使用信息和通信技术，他们遇到了一些障碍。学校的技术支持不足以及很少有机会使用互联网和信通技术被认为是阻碍教师将信通技术纳入课程的主要障碍。此外，对结果的描述性分析表明，课时不足是阻碍教师将信息和通信技术应用于课堂的另一个重要障碍。
A number of studies have argued that the use of new technologies in education is essential in the information age. The integration of information and communication technology (ICT) in teaching and learning provides more opportunities for teachers and students to work better in an information age. However, some barriers may discourage teachers to integrate ICT in the classroom and prevent them to introduce supporting materials through ICT usage. Examining the barriers for using ICT in education can assist the educators to overcome the obstacles and integrate the ICT in everyday education. This study aims to investigate the teachers’ perceptions of the barriers and challenges preventing teachers to integrate ICT in the classroom. Therefore, a validated questionnaire was administered to 30 high school English teachers who were selected from the five main educational districts in the city of Isfahan, Iran. Stratified random sampling was used to select equal number of respondents from each educational district. The findings indicated that although teachers had a strong desire to use ICT in the classroom, they were encountered with some barriers. Insufficient technical supports at schools and little access to Internet and ICT were considered as the major barriers preventing teachers to integrate ICT into the curriculum. Moreover, the descriptive analysis of the results showed that shortage of class time was another significant barrier discouraging teachers to use ICT into the classroom.
