| description | The study reports on a survey into the use of content-free computer software by comprehensive school teachers in South Wales. The survey includes questions on computer resources, staff training, level of awareness and utilization by year group and by subject taught. The findings suggest that many more teachers are aware of the potential of content-free software than are actually using them in their lessons. A shortfall in training provision together with the inequitable distribution of computers between subjects are major factors limiting the use of such software. Modern Languages and Humanities are generally poorly provided for in terms of hardware resources. However, Science (which has ample hardware) seems to make relatively little use of content-free software while Business Studies and Design Technology use it extensively. Sixth form teaching seems generally to ignore the potentials of computer-aided learning by means of content-free software. |
