19. EPICT THE EUROPEAN PEDAGOGICAL ICT LICENCE http://www.epict.org19 ICT Competency Inventory (ICT-CI) A self report questionnaire piloted in a project measuring ICT readiness in about 150 schools of a district in Budapest. The ICT-SI is an index based measuring tool. (The concept of indexing is used for the data reduction method employed: several variables are composed in one index.) Our test comprises the following indices: Index (1) – School access to ICT Index (2) – Home access to ICT Index (3) – ICT related attitudes Index (4) – ICT related competencies Index (5) – Educational use of ICT

20. EPICT THE EUROPEAN PEDAGOGICAL ICT LICENCE http://www.epict.org20 Four domains for every index: „low” (value range: 0,01–1), „medium” (value range 1,01–2) „high” (value range 2,01–3) 0 value, indicating the non-existence of any interpretable data for the index. (E. g., low level ICT access means sporadic, rare access while 0 level indicates no access to a PC). Items correlated with the presence / absence of certain personality traits measured by the California Personality Inventory to identify teacher profiles that tend to success or fail with ICT.

23. EPICT THE EUROPEAN PEDAGOGICAL ICT LICENCE http://www.epict.org23 Correlation analysis of CPI and ICI findings, questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, show personality features that are associated with success and failure to acquire ICT skills on a level sufficient for educational use Some of these variables may be affected by specially targeted mentoring methods, teaching environment course content (best practice examples) custom-made skills training. Based on our results, in-service training of teachers may be improved to suit not only the initial level of ICT skills but also the mindset and personality of teachers.
