In a study of projects to promote educational changes in America, Canada
and the United Kingdom (UK), Fullan (1991) found that one of the most
fundamental problems in education reform is that people do not have a clear
and coherent sense of the reasons for educational change, what it is and
how to proceed. Thus there is much faddism, superficiality, confusion, and
failure of change programmes, unwarranted and misdirected resistance and
misunderstood reform. He maintains that teachers who resist change are not
rejecting the need for change but are often expected to lead developments
when they are given insufficient long-term opportunities to make sense of
the new technologies for themselves. However, Davis (2000) argues that
schools are changing to respond to their communities’ need for technology
training and their own need for increased resources. This includes a primary
school where parents have become support staff and provide courses to
other adults in a rural region. Leaders need to become aware of this
pervasive nature of ICT so that they ensure that their organisation continues
to fulfil its proper function, albeit by increasing its response to a widening
remit.
