Contribution
Monitoring quality of ICT integration in education remains a topical issue. While monitoring the actual use of ICT in education is ambitious, to address the actual use of ICT is an even greater challenge. As part of the elaboration of an ICT-monitor for schools in Flanders, an attempt was made to use vignettes to meet the abovementioned challenge.
In addition to questions relating to the frequency of different ICT functions, teachers and principals were also asked to score three vignettes. Each vignette consisted of a description of an educational approach and a concrete illustration of that approach. The educational approaches differ with respect to external regulation of the learning process. The first vignette describes an educational approach with shared regulation, the second one with high external regulation and the third one with high internal regulation. For each vignette a reliable scale consisting of four questions was constructed (alpha’s from .75 to .88).
The analysis shows expected differences with respect to educational level (higher scores for external regulation in secondary schools than in primary education schools). Correlations between scores on vignette scales and frequency of ICT-scales suggests that frequency of ICT use is positively related to higher scores for the internal regulation vignette.
