Abstract:
Communication and technology have an important role in life and especially in education. Nowadays, students generally use technology for communication. When using technology in education, there may be some communication barriers. In this research, it is studied about communication barriers that prevent teachers’ candidates to use technology.

The aim of this research is to find the communication barriers which teachers’ candidates face when they utilize technology.

First of all we have to see the ICT knowledge level of the students to make decision about the application and retraining methods. It is important to know can we find any difference in ICT literacy between the Hungarian and the Serbian students to see how long is the way to finish the ICT revolution in these countries.

On the other hand is it important to see which topic need more attention from the teachers in the high school to give a good knowledge for the student before they go in the higher education.

We measured the ICT literacy level with a tool consisting of 15 items (Likert scaled).

The data analysis was performed with SPSS software using descriptive statistics and Mann-Whitney test.
