Kurubacak, Gulsun
Journal on School Educational Technology, v1 n3 p45-60 Dec 2005-Feb 2006
The main purpose of this qualitative research is to find out Turkish K12 teachers' intentions toward New Communication Technologies (NCTs) that they redesign and revolutionize their new roles in these new interactive milieus carefully. In this study, the K12 teachers' intentions are indications of their readiness and immediate antecedent of behaviors to utilize NCTs in the classrooms. Therefore, the Theory of Planned Behavior (TpB) is chosen to expose their intentions toward these cutting-edge technologies. Based on the main purpose of the research, there are three main research concerns: 1) the Behavioral Beliefs of Turkish K12 teachers toward NCTs; 2) the Normative Beliefs of Turkish K12 teachers toward NCTs, and 3) the Control Beliefs of Turkish K12 teachers toward NCTs.
