The changing role of ICT-coordinators in schools: a longitudinal study

Artikkel

As schools become more digitalized, teachers need strong skills in teaching, learning, and administration. Some teachers, known as ICT coordinators, play a key role in promoting digital technology use, acting as liaisons between management and teaching. This study, based on a literature review and interviews with Norwegian ICT coordinators over five years, found increasing diversity in their tasks and roles. With the rise of one-to-one digital device use (e.g., Chromebooks, iPads), the ICT coordinator’s role is expected to grow in importance. The study highlights the complexity of this role and its future development.
