Faculty Adoption of Technology: Stages of Concern.
Matthew, Kathryn I.; Parker, Randall; Wilkinson, Lamar
The purpose of this study was to determine faculty concerns about the changes in technology at Louisiana Tech University, specifically faculty office computers with Internet access. Participants were the 41 faculty members in the College of Education. The Stages of Concern Questionnaire (SoCQ) and the Faculty Development Technology Workshop Survey were used to gather data for the study. Many factors impinge on faculty's movement through the stages of concern; providing hands-on workshops and one-on-one assistance fosters movement through the stages for most faculty. Training, support, time, and leadership are necessary for the successful integration of technology into classrooms. Technology integration will require faculty who feel comfortable using the technology. It will also require changes in teaching methods and changes in their roles as teachers. Contains 12 references.
