ENLegal base regulating educational system emphasizes knowledge based on information technologies. As ICT are penetrating into the process of vocational training the training methods and aids are changing and improving, an important role is falling on an educator - teacher. He / she must develop personal communication, literary and cultural competences as well as improve information and communication skills. This may be done by applying innovative ICT training methods and only when teacher has ICT competence. The objective of this work was to elucidate the application of information communication technologies in vocational training from the management and educational aspect. To that end research instruments were formed - questionnaire, according to which the above mentioned aspects were estimated from the point of view of students and teachers, and quality research was carried out by estimating the attitude of managers. 180 students. 100 teachers and 6 headmasters participated in the study carried out in Alanta, Anykščiai and Utena institutions of vocational training in December 2006. These institutions of vocational training do have conditions for application of electronic training aids. They provide themselves with IT aids by executing project activities and inducing teachers to participate in them. The introduction of system of e-services, Internet, e-library is intended in the schools. In educational process the priority is given for traditional training aids.Teachers emphasize that students are not ready to accept electronic training aids, computer opportunities are limited and provision with them is poor. Students agree with that. Teachers think that training aids based on the use of ICT influence students’ critical way of thinking, creativeness and activity, abilities of students determined in general programs and educational standards. Students think analogically but they prefer motivation for studies rather than creativeness, activity and critical way of thinking. The basic technical equipment for ICT application is computer; it is rarely used by teachers and students in educational process. Moreover, teachers rarely use Internet websites for the search of information; almost everybody uses e- mail for communication; basic activity - preparation of school documents. The following were stated as impediments: lack of computers, poor teacher's competence in ICT. Students rarely use electronic training aids for introduction of ICT skills. Almost half of respondents do not use them at all, others mostly use teaching programs and lecture notes; e-textbooks are not used at all. [From the publication]
