Institute of Computing Studies Information Technology Training Needs Analysis Instructions: Please take time to accomplish this Self-Assessment Survey This short questionnaire has been designed to determine the training needs of teachers in the use of IT. We need you to answer some questions about your use of computers. The information gathered will be used by the ISPSC institute of Computing Studies to ensure that the designed training will provide a basis for the development of confidence and competence in the use of computers (as part of the extension program of the Institute of Computing Studies). The information will also help to build a case for all teachers to have access to a computer and to the World Wide Web. Your responses are very important to us; we can only offer the right training if we know what people need. All individual information provided in this survey will be kept strictly confidential. The questionnaire should not take too long to complete. Once you have done so, please return it to your Principal/Head. Thank you very much for your time.
