KAJ E-KOMPETENTNI STARŠI PRIČAKUJEJO OD DIJAŠKEGA DOMA?

摘要

We were interested in how e-competent the parents as key partners of schools were. We carried out a research in which we checked the e-competence of parents of secondary school students in boarding schools, and their e-expectations for the boarding school. The study involved 492 parents of students who lived in large boarding schools in Slovenia and attended secondary school. The results indicate that parents use ICT and that they expect the boarding schools to have the possibility of collaboration with them via Internet. If boarding schools organized ICT related courses, the parents would be prepared to participate. The article discusses the role and the importance of information and communication technology (ICT) in school environment. We have found out that the process of informatisation has become one of the most important activities of the modern world, a generator of social success and a means of integrating with the developed world. For organizations that do not follow the global development of computerization, there is no future. Currently in the Slovenian school system the project e-Education is in progress. Its primary goal is to accelerate the process of informatisation of every educational institution, depending on its current status in management, educational and technical fields. The standards of an e-competent school, teacher (educator), headmaster and computer expert are being developed.
