Learner-Centeredness and Teacher Efficacy: Predicting Teachers' Consequence Concerns regarding the Use of Technology in the Classroom
Dunn, Karee E.; Rakes, Glenda C.
Journal of Technology and Teacher Education, v18 n1 p57-81 Jan 2010
After more than two decades of concerted effort, less than desirable progress has been made in the integration of effective technology use in the classroom. In many cases computers have entered classrooms, but are used to do little more than support existing teaching practices (i.e. PowerPoint read as lecture). Research suggests that teachers concerns regarding the use of technology in the classroom significantly influence their technology usage. In this study, the authors investigated the influence of teachers' learner-centered beliefs and teacher efficacy on consequence concerns. These two constructs were selected due to conceptual relevance and because they are trainable characteristics. The results of this study indicated that learner-centered beliefs and teacher efficacy significantly influence consequence concerns. (Contains 6 tables and 1 note.)
