Abstract

The main objective of this study was to identify the effect of the use of technologies during the educational process focusing on learning outcomes and to make an exploratory approach in relation to the perceptions of secondary school teachers, to investigate whether this parameter could be a part of their assessment. Literature review was conducted on technologies in relation to learning outcomes, technologies in school learning environments and their use in the learning process and assessment. The trigger for this study was given when teachers, through qualitative research conducted in the context of a doctoral thesis on the Comparative Approach to the Evaluation of Teachers with Evidence and Influences from the Private Sector, expressed statements regarding the use of technologies in the learning process, related, among others, to learning outcomes.  Teachers seem to connect the use of technologies in teaching process with the learning outcomes, the way they respond to their efforts, in order to achieve their goals, their professional development and expectations. The importance of this study is that the use of technology in the educational process is revealed as a criterion of their evaluation that might highlight the teachers’ effectiveness in terms of the learning outcomes.
