Summary/Abstract: In order for Bahrain to realize its 2030 Economic Vision, digital literacy is required on the part of its citizens. Digital literacy is the ability to make use of Information and Computer Technology (ICT) in learning and work activities, and can be understood clearly by understanding the role of ICT in schools. Such a role is successfully implemented mainly when certain conditions are met, among them the adoption of a positive attitude towards the utilization and integration of ICT in instruction on the part of the teachers. This study examines to what extent teachers in the Bahraini public school system adopt such an attitude, while at the same time (1) focusing on the amount of support they receive in terms of ICT training and resources and (2) identifying shortcomings that need to be addressed for successful ICT integration in teaching and learning.
