From reading Two generations of teachers: Differences in attitudes towards ICT it is
safe to conclude, according to Ferrero, that the age of teachers is not a factor in the way
ICT is practiced and used in schools in which the study was conducted. The lack
of evidence in this regard has somewhat nullified the concept “generation divide”.
Another conclusion which was reached by Ferrero is
the negative impact of the institutional environment on the teachers’
willingness and effectiveness in using computers. According to Ferrero, the lack
of technical assistance and professional support within the schools have adversely affected the
use of ICT in schools. Teachers who are new to such technologies and those who
need guidance tend to regress with lack of mentors, coordinators and support
systems. This is evident in my school.
