Personal Background
Not all that interested in using technology
in teaching
 The advent of the WWW made me believe
in the value of integrating technology into
education
 First laptop university experience was a
disappointment (barriers) and a boon

Integration Reasons
Increase student motivation
 Unique instructional capabilities
 Increase teacher efficiency
 Enhance student IT skills
 Support constructivist approaches

Introduction
Technology more accessible
 Technology- rich environments are vital
 Focus on:

 perceived
barriers to technology integration
 level of technology integration
 concerns toward technology integration
 exposure to a technology-rich environment
5
Introduction- Research Questions

What do faculty in a technology-rich environment perceive as
barriers to technology integration?

In a technology-rich environment, what are the relationships
between perceived barriers to technology integration and…

Literature Review- Barriers




There is an established set of technology
integration barriers
Barriers always experienced no matter
the environment
Intensity of barriers differs according to
level of technology integration
Recommendations of barrier elimination
differ according to the type and intensity
of the barrier

Literature Review- CBAM
Hall, G. E., Wallace, R. C., & Dossett, W. F. (1973).
Stages of Concern
 Levels of Use
 Innovations Configuration
 Technology Implementation Standards
Configuration (Mills, 2002)

Literature Review- CBAM Research
Relationship Between Technology Use
and Concerns
 Technology Concerns
 Technology Use

Literature Review- Exposure to a
Technology-Rich Environment

Since lack of access is a commonly
referred to technology integration barrier, it
is natural to assume that if this barrier
were removed, the level of technology
integration would be higher in technologyrich environments than in environments
which still had lack of access as a barrier
10
Methodology

75 item web-based questionnaire- 24%
response
 SoC
questionnaire- 35 items
 Barriers- 21 items (Hadley & Sheingold, 1993;
Jacobsen, 1998)
 TISCM- 18 items
 Exposure- 1 item
11
Results- Categorization
Lower- order concerns dominated
(SoC/Fuller)
 Scored high on the TISCM
 Most had at least 3years in tech-rich
environment

Results


Faculty unsure as to how to effectively integrate technology.
The current reward structure does not adequately recognize
those utilizing technology.
There are no program standards as to what is expected for
teaching with technology.
There is a lack of sufficient technology training.
There is a lack of technical support regarding the technology.
Faculty do not have sufficient time to integrate technology.
There is a lack of support from administration.
Faculty lack basic technology skills.

Results- Barrier Relationships
Concerns- task group perceived barriers
more
 TISCM- least sophisticated – rank time
barrier
 1-2 years rank time barrier

14
Results- Relationships Between
Groups
Level of Use and Time
 Concern and Level of Use

15
Recommendations

Technology Integration Plan
 Integrate

technology into the curriculum
More technical training and support
 Technology
Standards- NETS
 PD- multi-faceted
 Provide time release
