摘要：However, i n spite of this massive spending and governmental support, Saudi Arabia still lags behind th e countries that lead the world in t he educational se ctor, especially in ICT (Ageel, 2011; Almadhour, 2010). There is still a real gap between the availability of ICT technology in Saudi schools and methods of implementation. For example , some recent studies related to ICT in Saudi schools ( Oyaid , 2009; Almadhour, 2010; Almalki & Williams, 2012 ; Al - Harbi , 201 4 ), revealed that the Saudi government needs to develop an effective strategy for ICT in education and to implement it in practice. Almadhour (2010) concluded in his study, 'Unfortunately although the Saudi Arabian government has lots of funding, there is no clear strategic framework towards equipp ing ICT in schools'. From a more global context , s tudies conducted in North America have actually shown that greater investments or the availabi lity of technological resources in the classroom do not necessarily translate to improved academic achievement, mainly as a result of poor implementation ( Wozney et al, 2006; Ungerleider & Burns, 2002; Balanskat et al., 2006).
