Abstract

The rapid development of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) has caused many changes in society and, consequently, in the education process. The integration of ICT into the teaching process transforms traditional teaching into new teaching that is ready to respond to the demands and needs of a contemporary learner in order to increase the quality of education: better student motivation, use of different sources of knowledge, development of functional abilities of students, and the goal of everything is to increase the learning outcomes. In this paper, an assessment of the motivation and achievement of two groups of students were carried out. The control group and experimental group attended classes in a traditional way and by using ICT, respectively. The results of the research have highlighted the huge advantages of introducing ICT into the teaching process.
