Abstract

This paper investigates teachers’ immediate ‘everyday’challenges in integrating ICT into their classrooms, often overlooked in existing literature prioritising management, IT suppliers, and policymakers. Grounded in Dooyeweerd's philosophy, this research utilises aspectual analysis to reveal and understand the diverse everyday issues encountered by teachers using ICT. The initial findings reported here highlight the limited guidance provided by existing literature regarding the meaningful everyday issues for ICT users. In terms of originality, the paper explores the potential of Dooyeweerd’s aspectual analysis as a valuable research tool for IS researchers, emphasising its capacity to unveil previously unnoticed issues in the realm of ICT use. Keywords: aspectual analysis, Dooyeweerd, educational research methods, life-oriented philosophy.
