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
Roblyer and Edwards (2000)

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…
stage of concern?
level of technology integration?
exposure to a technology-rich environment?
In a technology-rich environment, what are the relationships
between…
level of technology integration and stage of concern?
stage of concern and exposure to a technology-rich environment?
level of technology integration and exposure to a technology-rich
environment?

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

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
12
Results
Barriers
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
