Factors Correlating with Teachers' Use of Computers in the Classroom

Pages : 179
Book Description
There is a need to understand the factors correlating with teachers' instructional use of computers, because much of the present research focuses on students rather than teachers. This study examines several factors relating to the use of computers in the classroom by teachers. The factors examined include teacher attitudes, emotions, beliefs, and outside influences. This was done by a review of the present literature, administering two surveys, and analyzing the survey data. Questionnaires were distributed to faculty at five randomly selected high schools in a Midwest city participating in the study. Data from the survey was then examined to determine which factors correlate with teacher computer use in the classroom. The results of this study will help improve understanding of teachers' instructional computer use.

Factors that Influence Elementary Teachers' Use of Computers

Book Description
The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine the ways elementary teachers use computer technology for instructional purposes and the factors that influence their use of computers. The population consisted of recent graduates from the elementary teacher preparation program at a mid-Atlantic university. Data were gathered using a survey instrument. The instrument addressed the four factors that support teachers' use of computers: access and availability, preparation and training, leadership, and time. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed in this study. The response rate was 89 percent. The findings indicated that 84 percent of the teachers felt either well or very well prepared to integrate technology into curriculum, and that they were able to overcome the typical barriers to computer use in elementary classrooms. The teachers overwhelmingly indicated that computers have considerable potential for allowing students to discover or construct ideas for themselves and supported constructivist pedagogies when referring to computer use in elementary classrooms. Teacher preparation, teacher philosophy and grade level were identified as influential factors in the use of computers by the elementary teachers and the elementary students. Survey instrument is appended. (Contains 5 tables.).

A Study of Factors that Influence Experienced Teachers in Grades Kindergarten Through Five to Integrate Computer Technology Into the Teaching and Learning Process

Category : Computer-assisted instruction
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
Although the public schools have spent billions of dollars on computer technology, only a few teachers are integrating them into their teaching. The purpose of this study was to determine barriers to the integration of computers into teaching and potential teaching strategies to encourage integration. Teachers (N=122) from 14 elementary schools completed a questionnaire that assessed computer use. Nine experienced teachers representing different levels of computer use were then selected to participated in interviews that focused on barriers to the integration of computer technology into their teaching. Results indicate barriers exist in two broad areas: institutional limitations (i.e., equipment, training, support, and leadership) and legislative mandates (i.e., benchmarks and state tests). Teachers report a significant lack of computers available for students in the classroom and computer labs, a lack of training and knowledge of how to use software, and a lack of support and leadership at the district and building level. Overall, teachers perceive significant barriers to the integration of computer technology exist in the areas of equipment, training, support and leadership. The findings suggest that some school districts may fail to recognize the need to adequately provide teachers with the necessary external factors of equipment, training, support and leadership, and they may fail to consider the internal factors of perceived relevance, and selfcompetence that are essential for the integration of technology. The study may also suggest that school districts fail to account for educational reform measures, and their impact on teacher ability to integrate computers into the teaching and learning process. Results of this study may indicate that the interrelationship of the external and internal factors must be recognized and integrated when developing learning strategies for the training of integrating computer technology into the teaching and learning process.
