Determinants of Change and Technology Adoption in K-12 Schools

Abstract

This project focuses, from the perspective of a school administrator, on determinants of change and technology adoption in K-12 schools. The focus of this study is identifying factors that cause teachers to change and adopt technology into their practice. Research and literature into theory of change, technology adoption theories, and some psychological constructs are explored. Chapter Three includes a technology plan template which has components and questions to consider based on the researched theories. In order to create effective change within a school, one must be intentional in planning and include components at both a systemic and individual level.
