The barriers of using Information Technology by teachers in schools have been classified in the article into technical-communicative, cultural and intellectual. Intellectual barriers were particularly emphasized, pointing to clear defects in teachers’ suitable methodological preparation. The number of causes of rejection by IT teachers as well as teachers of other subjects were presented together with the reasons for rejection of introducing and using IT in school. Analyzing teachers’ views concerning the introduction of IT into the education system, constant establishing of the cultural pattern was indicated. This pattern functions in schools and has roots in memory teaching.
