Scientific Study from the year 2016 in the subject Pedagogy - Media Pedagogy, , language: English, abstract: Traditional or conventional teachers have a phobia of using technology like a fear of looking foolish, fear of asking for help, fear of not ‘catching on’ quickly enough, and fear of not being able to be effective with the technology in instructional settings. It is important to understand that these fears were self-imposed and self-generated, but very real nevertheless. Technology has an essential role to play in reducing the disparities that exist between the developed and developing countries. Computers are especially important in this context, because so many computer applications have a direct bearing on some of the main facets of the development process and reflect certain aspects of the technology that has facilitated the growth of the economically advanced countries. This study investigates the different attitudes towards computers and analyses them.

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.

How have schools been affected by the introduction of computer technology, and has it changed the school life and experience of students? This book uses research from both large and small secondary schools, including those specializing in technology and those with higher numbers of pupils with special needs, to look at the results of all the political initiatives and investment in ICT. The authors found that the ambitious expectations fell short of reality. Their research into the reasons for this shortfall can help teachers understand and develop ways to make the best use of computers in their schools. It is equally informative for educational researchers and policy-makers.

This quantitative causal-comparative study investigated the effect of middle school teachers’ perceptions of students’ socioeconomic status on their attitudes toward technology. The study was based on the theory of social constructivism and the will, skill, and tool model of technology integration to investigate teachers’ attitudes toward technology. This study advanced the body of knowledge by examining the connection between pedagogical beliefs and teachers’ attitudes toward technology, the use of technology with students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, and the need for more research on technology use by teachers at the middle school level. The research question exploring the possibility of a difference in teachers’ attitudes toward technology among middle school teachers who minimally, somewhat, and predominantly serve students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, as determined by the state and United States Department of Education, was measured by the Teachers' Attitudes Toward Computers-Information Computer Technology Questionnaire (TAC/TAICT) using responses from 126 middle school teachers in Virginia. The researcher collected data through digital completion of the questionnaire and analyzed it to determine significant differences. A one-way ANOVA did not show significant differences in overall attitudes among the three groups.

Teachers' technology background (skills) and their acceptability (attitudes) towards Internet usage within the schools are an important and often overlooked component of successful curriculum integration of technology. If teachers do not have the appropriate attitude and skills with integrating technological resource tools to support their curriculum, they will not be adequately equipped with diverse supplementary curricula to address the learning needs of students. This places students at risk for not being able to achieve their maximum potential because they have not been given instructions to match their learning styles. Five hypotheses were developed to determine any significant differences in how teachers utilize the Internet as a curriculum resource tool. The book is addressed to professionals in instructional technology like teachers, administrators, and curriculum coordinators in elementary and middle grade levels. It is also directed to rural and sub-rural school districts seeking to implement technology goals in their school improvement plans.

This article is research on the question of the place of technology in the classroom. It attempts to answer the questions, how do teachers view the role of technology in the classroom, are they properly trained to use it, and does the school have enough resources to meet teacher's needs. Research was conducted at an international middle-high school in Shanghai. Participants were teachers from various backgrounds working in a school with an American curriculum. Research data was filtered through a number of response criteria such as experience teaching, department, sex, and grade level. The research found that many teachers did not feel properly trained in use of educational technology, that there were not the proper resources to meet teacher needs, and that all teachers felt that technology was an effective tool in improving student learning. The research concludes that teachers desire more training on the use of technology and a greater access to resources that they find useful.
