Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to determine the acceptance level of primary school teachers about educational technologies. The research was designed in accordance with the qualitative research method. The study group of the research consists of 40 primary school teachers teaching in the city of Almaty, Kazakhstan, in the 2021–2022 academic year. Research data were collected with a semi-structured interview form developed by the researchers. The research data were converted into findings using the content analysis method. As a result of the research, it has been revealed that the majority of primary school teachers find themselves sufficient to benefit from educational technologies. However, the majority of the teachers who participated in the research stated that they sometimes use technology in education. The majority of primary school teachers participating in the research stated that technology-supported education is effective on students’ success. In this direction, in order to increase primary school teachers’ use of technology in education, it is recommended to establish infrastructures that will provide technology-supported education in schools and to organise in-service programmes for teachers.
