Educators' Opinions on the Use of Information and Communication Technology in the Early and Preschool Education System

Sažetak
Globalna digitalizacija sve je prisutnija u svim segmentima društva, kako u privatnom, tako i u poslovnom segmentu, stoga ne čudi i svojevrsna digitalizacija sustava ranoga i predškolskog odgoja i obrazovanja koja se temelji na digitalizaciji računovodstva te manjim dijelom i na digitalizaciji poslova stručnih suradnika. Odgojno-obrazovni rad odgojitelja još uvijek nije uključen u plansku digitalnu transformaciju, već je prepušten intrinzičnoj motivaciji pojedinaca, stoga su izuzetno dragocjena mišljenja odgojitelja o implementiranju informacijske i komunikacijske tehnologije u odgojno-obrazovni rad. Istraživanjem su obuhvaćena 682 odgojitelja zaposlena u zagrebačkim vrtićima. Za potrebe istraživanja korištena je deskriptivna analiza podataka te One-Way ANOVA za utvrđivanje različitosti mišljenja sudionika o uporabi informacijske i komunikacijske tehnologije s dobi, radnim iskustvom i obrazovanjem. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da postoji značajna razlika u mišljenjima odgojitelja u odnosu na dob i obrazovanje, dok ta razlika izostaje u odnosu na radno iskustvo. Sudionici naglašavaju korisnost i neizbježnost digitalne transformacije u svim segmentima svoga odgojno-obrazovnog rada, međutim, ističu nespremnost sustava ranoga i predškolskog odgoja i obrazovanja za promjene te nedostatnost vlastitih digitalnih kompetencija.

Abstract
Global digitalization is increasingly present in all segments of society, both private and business. It is, therefore, not surprising that the early and preschool education system is also being digitized, mainly in the area of accounting, but also, partly, in the area of professional associates’ work. The educators’ educational work has still not been included in the planned digital transformation and is instead left to the individuals’ intrinsic motivation. Consequently, educators’ views on the implementation of information and communication technology in educational work are invaluable. Research was conducted, which included 682 educators employed in Zagreb kindergartens. For the purposes of this research, descriptive data analysis and One-Way ANOVA were used to determine the connection between the opinion on the use of information and communication technology and their age, work experience, and education levels. The results of the research showed that the different views of the educators depended on their age and education levels, but not on their work experience. The participants emphasized the usefulness and necessity of digital transformation in all segments of their educational work. However, they also pointed out that the early and preschool education system was not yet ready for changes and that their own digital competencies were insufficient.
