    Perceptions of computers and information and communication technology among regular and special needs teachers in Cyprus
    (Petroleum-Gas Univ Ploiesti, 2012) Bekirogullari, Zafer
    Computers and related technologies provide important means of instruction for regular students and students with special needs. Integrating computers and technologies in schools has lagged their development and use. The future use of computers and technologies in schools largely depend upon teachers' knowledge and skills and their attitudes towards implementing computers and ICT into the curriculum. This exploratory study investigated attitudes held by regular and special needs teachers in Cyprus toward using computers and ICT. Regular teachers made greater use of computers and technologies than special needs teachers. Overall, teachers reported they used computers daily to access the Internet for using electronic mail, Facebook, and online chats, but computers and technologies did not play any substantive role in their classrooms for instruction. No teacher in either group reported using these tools in school: films or videos, the Internet, audiocassette players, or Microsoft PowerPoint. Yet, regular and special needs teachers generally regarded computers and technologies positively. To integrate computers and technologies within schools requires that teachers understand their potential to help students. Teachers need instruction in using computers and related technologies. Teacher preparation programs must include computers and ICT as essential components in teacher education.

    Subjective well-being among teachers of children with special needs in Cyprus
    (Petroleum-Gas Univ Ploiesti, 2011) Bekirogullari, Zafer
    Teachers of students with special needs, often young adults who are recent college graduates, serve as educational and social mentors to students and their families. These teachers instruct students with a wide range of academic, social, physical, and psychological differences and instructional needs. This study investigated SWB among a sample of principally less experienced teachers of children with special needs in Cyprus, teachers affected by factors related to teacher attrition including low salary, lack of empowerment, lack of intellectual challenges, and lack of prestige. To ensure that children in regular classrooms and children with special needs in Cyprus receive the education they need demands that teachers work in schools that provide adequate working conditions.
