| Summary: | The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education
has become crucial for enhancing learning, broadening access to resources, and building
digital skills. While numerous studies have explored the impact of parental attitudes on online
and remote learning in elementary and middle schools, there has been little focus on high
school students' parents, especially within the Arab and Bedouin sectors in Israel. This study
examines how parents view the implementation of ICT in Arab high schools in northern and
southern Israel and how these views affect the integration of ICT in teaching, learning, and
school management. The research sheds light on social and cultural barriers, as well as the
challenges posed by inadequate infrastructure and traditional educational perspectives.
Using a qualitative approach, information was gathered through interviews with 22
parents of high school students across 11 schools. The main findings showed that, while
parents have positive views about the educational potential of ICT, they also identified
challenges such as limited digital skills, inadequate infrastructure, and cultural barriers.
The study’s recommendations emphasize the need to address these challenges
through parent-focused training programs, resource allocation, and improving cooperation
between schools and parents via digital platforms. The study also highlights initiatives aimed
at encouraging communication and collaboration within the community, supported by local
councils or Ministry of Education programs, such as funding competitions, parent training
courses, or youth-targeted programs. |
