The study aimed to determine the reality of the use of technological
innovations in Palestinian schools from the teachers' perspective, and the
constraints faced by teachers in their use. In addition, it aimed to
determine the effect of gender, academic qualification, years of
experience and types of schools and its place in regard to the use of
technological innovations in Palestinian schools. To achieve these aims,
the researcher conducted this study on a sample of (790) teachers, and
applied a questionnaire measuring their awareness of the reality of the
use of technological innovations, and constraints. The study found that; -
the reality of the employment of technological innovations in Palestinian
schools from the perspictives of teachers' was moderate (64.60%). - the
highest degree constrained on the use of technology was due to the
inadequate services, in addition to the teachers' inability to use the
equipment. - there were differences in the reality of the use of
technological innovations in Palestinian schools from the teachers'
perspictives due to the variables of region, academic qualifications, years
of experience and type of school, while the differences were not
statistically significant due to gender. The researcher overemphesised
several recommendations including: the need for capturing attention of
the Ministry of Education regarding conducting training courses for
teachers related to the follow-up recent developments in the use of
educational technology.
