Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present a qualitative multiple case study research on primary school teachers' competence and confidence level regarding the use of ICT in the teaching and learning practice carried out in five different European countries (Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain and The Netherlands). Focus group interview was the central data collection technique used in this study. As a result from the data analysis some important issues emerged which gave rise to four main dimensions - individual factors, contextual factors (at macro and micro levels) and factors related with teacher training and education. These factors may function as anchor-points (main categories) for the elaboration of the instruments for further research.
