Effectiveness of information and communication technologies in the management of school administrative procedures of Government Bilingual High School Etoug-Ebe Yaounde.

Abstract

Information and communication technologies represent an important potential for educational innovations and an essential resource for ensuring the efficiency and effectiveness of administrative procedures within a school. This exploratory study attempts to measure the school administrators' perceptions of the effectiveness of the school-based use of information and communication technologies. This raises many questions about the relevance of the use of ICT in administrative procedures in schools. It is in this light that this work was conducted with the aim of identifying and analyzing the effectiveness of ICT in administrative procedures at the Government Bilingual High School Etoug-Ebe Yaoundé. To do this, the method used is based on the exploitation of the data collected from the teaching and administrative personnel targeted through the observations and the interview guide. This analysis shows that the efficiency of ICT in administrative procedures is significantly (p<0.05) recognized in the compilation of databases and the establishment of time tables. In addition, the administrative and pedagogical management domains, help develop the technological skills of the administrative staff but the logistical and software problems, the insufficiency and the lack of control of ICT tools are obstacles within the school.
