Rezumat

This paper presents the results of a study on the adoption and integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the Moldovan schools from the school managers' perspective. The Internet and digital devices are accessible by most people in Moldova. However, our literature review shows that their adoption and integration in schools is still low. This research adopts the case study method to examine the barriers as well as the solutions from the perspective of the school managers. Twenty school managers from different districts of Moldova participated in this study. A combination of interviews and questionnaires was used to collect data. The results show that the main barriers against the adoption and integration of ICT in the classroom include a lack of adequate and well-trained personnel, poor internet service, as well as high cost of access. The identified solutions include changes to the teaching curriculum to promote and support digital literacy, funding from the Government and external donors, and digital literacy training for the teachers and school managers. These findings provide valuable insights for school managers and policymakers on strategies to improve the adoption and integration of ICT in schools in Moldova.
