Abstract

Information and communication technologies (ICT) have been used for some time in education and most often using such technologies had a positive impact on teaching methods and pupil or student learning and achievement. A quicker data transfer, better comprehension and gaining various skills are associated with ICT because information and images can be used in many ways and this helps to improve retention of knowledge and its understanding or development of school related skills. More studies have focused on the relation between ICT and motivation in education both on students and pupils and overall it has been found that ICT has a beneficial effect. For pupils, ICT has a motivational value because gives pupils the ability to interact with the knowledge transmitted during lessons in a more open and joyful way and also helps them to work quicker and with better results when are working on their tasks for writing them or improving their presentation. Because of these previous results the hypotheses of this study were to identify if there is any association between pupils motivation and use of ICT in the activity of integrated teaching-learning and also, to identify if means of teaching-learning based on exploration and use of ICT contribute to an increased motivation in pupils from primary school.
