The Attitudes and Knowledge of Teachers in Learning Science Based on Information and Communication Technolog, in the District of South Coastal High School

Abstrak

Based on the survey in the field and through interviews with teachers, it is predicted that: 1) In general, teachers still use the lecture approach and are less varied in the learning model. 2) The level of teacher's knowledge is still not as expected, this is what the teacher uses during the learning process, namely the textbooks and worksheets. Therefore, research needs to be done with the title "Attitudes and knowledge of teachers in information and communication technology-based science learning (ICT) in State High Schools in the South Coastal District"

The method in this study is quantitative methods and types of descriptive and correlational research. The subject of this study was a high school science teacher in South Pesisir Regency, with 47 teachers. The data obtained were processed using SPSS 16. Analysis of the relationship of attitudes with teacher's knowledge of ICT shows a very strong relationship with values (r = 0.412). The attitude of ICT based teacher education on education there is no significant difference with the value of = 1.134 and the attitude of ICT. ICT knowledge of science teachers based on education does not have a significant difference with t = -1.140 and ICT knowledge of science teachers based on work experience there is no significant difference with t = -353.

From this study it can be concluded that the attitudes and knowledge of teachers have a very strong relationship, but there is no significant difference. My advice is for all schools in South Coast Regency to further improve computer facilities and infrastructure for teachers and prioritize computer training for teachers.
