Social Inequalities and ICT Teacher’s In-Service Training

The purpose of this paper is to present the teachers’ views about their in-service training in ICT. This research is part of a more general research aimed at exploring the educational needs of teachers and the application of ICT in the education system and their impact on the teaching, learning and cognitive process. The sample of this research consists of 162 teachers working in primary schools in Northern Greece. Of these, 70 (43.2%) were men and 92 (56.8%) were women. The results of the research show that teachers emphasize the functioning of the institution of education in ICT as a tool for implementing educational policy of the dominant social groups, but also their reflection on European education policy. They also express the need for continuing education, while differing in its role in removing educational inequalities.
