DIAGNOSTIC STUDY OF DIGITAL EDUCATION BARRIERS AMONG A SAMPLE OF PSYCHOLOGY DEPARTMENT PROFESSORS - UNIVERSITY OF ANNABA -.

Abstract

The current study aims to diagnose the barriers of digital education among a sample of professors from the model "Department of Psychology and Artophonics - University of Annaba". This is achieved by identifying organisational barriers, human barriers and economic barriers. The study followed a descriptive approach and data collection was based on a questionnaire administered to a simple random sample of 35 professors, representing 53.84% of the total. For the statistical analysis, the percentage descriptive statistical method was used. The results showed the presence of organisational barriers, mainly the lack of infrastructure for digital education, the unavailability of technological resources and the infrequent updating of digital learning platforms. Human barriers included insufficient technological skills, lack of skills in designing digital learning content and insufficient training in digital learning software. Economic barriers included the high cost of communication bills and technological resources, and the inability to allocate a budget specifically for digital education.
