摘要：This study aims to explore how to reduce printing at elementary schools through strengtheningboth the effective use of ICT and pro-environmental values. Literature review is presented inthemes – ICT barriers (fears, knowledge, skills and time), demographic, printing behavior andsustainable values (egoistic, hedonic, prosocial & biospheric). A quantitative method is applied inthis study, data is obtained from 108 teachers from seven elementary schools at three differentregions in Northwest Friesland, The Netherlands by using a questionnaire. The value scale byDe Groot and Steg (2008) is applied for sustainable values while for ICT barriers and printingbehavior, questions are developed by the author and validated by Cronbach. The main findingsillustrate that lower ICT fears and higher biospheric values have a positive effect on the proenvironmentalprinting behavior. To minimize teachers’ ICT fears and printing, directors of theschools should train teachers in the use of ICT and enhance their biospheric values. This studyis one of the first to explore ICT barriers with the combination of pro-environmental valuesorientation contributing pragmatic evidence to reducing financial and environmental costs
