ABSTRACT
In this research, the opinions of teachers, who have received in-service trainings on the subject of information
technologies, on their levels of use of information technologies in classes are investigated. A total of 164
teachers, who were working in the city of Sakarya in the 2007-2008 Academic Year, have participated in the
research. A questionnaire has been administered to all of these teachers in order for them to evaluate the inservice
trainings they had participated, and semi-structured interviews have been conducted with 45 of them.
After the research, it has been observed that those teachers who have received in-service trainings on information
technologies use information technologies in their classes, the levels of use of information technologies are
higher among those teachers who are satisfied with the in-service trainings than those who are not, the problems
that teachers encounter while using information technologies mostly stem from equipments, and schools that do
not have any problems in terms of equipment lack internet connection and educational software.
Keywords: in-service training, use of information technologies
