Title: Teachers' Beliefs about Using Educational Technology in the Science Classroom.
Abstract: Current science education reform documents include educational technology as a key idea in school science programs. Teachers' beliefs about curriculum and instruction may play an important role in the implementation of reforms. In this study, we sought to examine the influence of K-12 teachers' beliefs on their intent to use educational technology in their classrooms. The Theory of Planned Behavior was used to examine the influences of K-12 teachers' attitudes, subjective norm (social support), and perceived behavioral control (external influences). Specific suggestions for addressing teachers' beliefs about using educational technology and staff development ideas are offered.
