In powerful learning environments, rich context and authentic tasks are presented to pupils. Active autonomous and co-operative learning is stimulated, and the curriculum is adapted to the needs and capabilities of individual pupils. In this study the characteristic of learning environments and the contribution of ICT to learning environments were investigated. A questionnaire was completed by 331 teachers in the highest grade of primary education. Results show that many teachers apply several elements of powerful learning environments in their classes. This especially goes for the presentation of authemtic tasks and the fostering of active and autonomous learning. However, the metods employed by teachers to adapt education to the needs and abilities of individual pupils proved quite limited. The use of ICT in general merely showed characteritstic of traditional approaches to learning. Chances of using open-ended ICT applications, which are expected to contribute to the power of learning environments, were greater with teachers who created powerful learning environments for their pupils and when there were more computers available to pupils. In addition teachers views with regard to the contribution of ICT to active and autonomous learning teachers skills in using ICT and the teachers gender appeared to be relevant background variables in this respect.
