 Abstract:

This study sought to determine the importance of the use of information technology by faculty members in the educational departments of the College of Basic Education in the Public Authority for Applied Education and Training in the States of Kuwait. A descriptive survey method is used to achieve these goals. A questionnaire is utilized as the main tool for the study on a stratified random sample of 42 faculty members. One of the most prominent results is that a large number of faculty members do not deal efficiently with information technology, and are not aware of all the available technological tools. The study also concluded with a proposed vision to increase the efficiency of information technology performance, including training, periodic updating, and permanent empowerment to use it as an integral part of the quality of the educational process in the Public Authority for Applied Education and Training.
