Student and Teacher Views about Technology: A Tale of Two Cities?
Li, Qing
Journal of Research on Technology in Education, v39 n4 p377-397 Sum 2007
The purpose of this study is to critically examine teachers' and their students' views about technology integration in schools focusing on the following questions: (1) What are students' perceptions about technology integration in schools?; (2) What are teachers' views about using technology in teaching and learning?; and (3) What do teachers say about the "oversold, underused" phenomenon of technology in schools? Data were collected from 15 secondary mathematics and science teachers and 450 secondary students. The results suggest that teachers' attitude towards technology uses in schools tends to be negative, while student attitudes can be summarized as enthusiastic. Most importantly, the fearfulness of being replaced by computers contributes to the "oversold, underused" phenomenon. (Contains 3 tables.)
