Abstract EN

This study aimed to determine the degree of the use of information and communication technology by kindergarten teachers in Amman and the ob- stacles to that use.

To answer the study, the researchers developed a question- naire to explore these questions.

The researchers verified both reliability and validity of the instrument.

A random sample of tills study included (43) kin- dergartens in Amman city, with (172) kindergarten teachers, during the second semester of the academic year (2007/2008).

The study tool was distributed to all the teachers in those kindergartens and (157) completed questionnaires were returned to the researchers.

The study findings indicated that there was a shortage in the availability of the hardware and the software in Amman kindergartens.

Kindergarten teachers, in Amman, use of information and com- munication technology was weak.

Results showed that there were physical, technical and educationally obstacles.

Therefore, the researchers recommended that there was a necessity to pro- vide the kindergartens with more hardware and software, in addition to a con- tinuous training on new software and hardware.
