Abstract
The current study aims to identify the ICT barriers that educators faced after the outbreak of the pandemic. To achieve these objectives, the authors surveyed 62 faculty members at the Kazan National Research Technological University. Attitudes towards thirty-three barriers were evaluated by Fisher angular transformation co-efficient tests depending on respondents’ faculty position, scientific degree, teaching experience, age, gender, and group of taught disciplines. As a whole, the conducted research revealed that the issue of insufficient technical support at Kazan National Research Technological University is so urgent that it requires an immediate solution from the university administration. The urgent nature of the problem is confirmed by the fact that educators evaluated this barrier similarly regardless of position, length of service, age or gender.
We concluded that special attention and providing support as regards ICT barriers might be important for younger faculty members, educators with smaller teaching experience and those delivering social and humanitarian subjects.
