Technologies de l'information et de la communication

During the last twenty five years, a series of initiatives have been undertaken in the UK, in a range of ways, in order to introduce information and communication technologies into school practice. The fact that uses in practice are often scarce and vary considerably from one school to another might be considered somewhat disappointing, particularly as the UK introduced in 1989 a National Curriculum which encouraged the use of information and communication technologies. A more optimistic point of view suggests that these experiences have produced far more than just integrated student practices in a limited number of subjects and geographical sites. This paper discusses the introduction of information and communication technologies into the British educational system through three series of analyses (systemic, contextual, comparative), and considers the specific contribution of each of these. It is based on a presentation of a seminar to the New Technologies and Education department (TECNE) of INRP held in 1996, which presented ideas from the author's current work at the University of Lancaster
