Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to determine the information and communication technologies integration approaches of physical education and sports teachers and language, science and humanities teachers. A survey model was used in the research. The research group consisted of teachers working in public high schools affiliated with the Ministry of National Education in Istanbul for 2020–2021 academic year and who were selected by a simple random sampling method. In this context, the research was conducted with 619 teachers. "Personal Information Form" and "Information and Communication Technologies Integration Approaches Scale" were used as data collection tools. In the analysis of the obtained data, descriptive statistics, a t-test, a one-way ANOVA, and the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient were used. As a result, it was understood that information and communication technologies integration levels of physical education and sports teachers were significantly lower than language, science and humanities teachers. It was determined that the information and communication technology integration levels of the physical education and sports teachers differed significantly according to their in-service training status. In addition, the information and communication technology integration levels of language, science, and humanities teachers differed significantly according to in-service training, finding their income levels sufficient, choosing the profession willingly, and marital status.
