Abstract

The research aimed to identify and analyze the educational
resources used by preschool teachers and to assess the
usefulness of employing information technologies in the
teaching process with preschoolers. The research subjects
were preschool teachers, who were investigated through a
questionnaire specially developed and validated for this
study. Most preschool teachers use charts as teaching
materials (M-4.69, SD-.62), followed by the magnetic
board (M-4.29, SD-.92), and only in third place do they
choose a technological tool namely, the laptop/computer
(M-3.91, SD-1.27). The most frequently used information
technology teaching tool employed by preschool teachers is
the laptop/computer (M-4.14, SD-.92), followed by
educational platforms (M-3.62, SD-1.27) and educational
software (M-3.44, SD-1.43). Regarding the usefulness of
employing information technologies in the educational
process with preschoolers, respondents believe that these
primarily serve to facilitate and deepen knowledge (M-
9.26, SD-.90), to develop and strengthen skills and abilities
(M-9.19, SD-.99), as well as to support thinking operations
(M-8.85, SD-1.19).
