Previous studies into teacher attitude and motivation have identified staff development as one of the contributing factors in using ICT (information and communication technology) effectively in the classroom. Substantial funds have been provided for such staff development in recent years in the United Kingdom. Currently, ICT training is being funded in Scotland, England, and Wales over the period 2000-2003. This paper will report on an investigation into effective staff development in ICT for teachers. A sample of Scottish primary school teachers have been surveyed to investigate the impact of different models of staff development in ICT on the teacher and to explore the knowledge and skills gained by teachers from staff development: technical; academic/content-related; and pedagogy. The results indicate the need for a much greater emphasis to be placed on the pedagogy of ICT. This should be of interest to all involved in teacher education and the continuing professional development of teachers. (Contains 4 tables and 13 references.)
