摘要：A s ur vey was carr ie d out in Nove mb er 19 8 5 o n a sa m p l e of 5 0 0 p r i m ary a n d 500 secondary schools. By the en d of Jan u ary 198 6 the D epartme n t had received completed ques ti onnaires from 75 per cent of primary and 53 per cent of secon d ary schools in the samp l e, a l ow response for the secondary sector. The Department is satisfied t h at the distribution by size and type of responding schoo l s was b r oa dl y representative. The results need to be interpreted in t h at light . The survey sought to discover in particular, the number and type of micros and associated equipment in maintained primary and secondary schoo l s, the level and source of f un ding, the extent of teacher training in the use of micros and the extent of use by pupils. In addition, secondary schools were asked to identify individual departments which used the micro, the software packages most used by them and the curricu l ar purposes of using t h e packages. The BBC carried out an earlier study of micros in secondary schools in April 1984 and, where possible, comparisons are made between the two sets of results.
