Computer Technology Integration and Multimedia Application for Teacher Professional Development: The Use of Instructional Technology in the Classroom Settings

Abstract The purpose of this research project was to determine the perceptions and attitudes of teachers in their use of technology in the classrooms and their support for its use. A survey was used on three distinct groups of 60 teachers to investigate how these groups of teachers felt about their use of technology in the classrooms. Test-retest was used to measure for reliability. The key research questions included teachers use technology, supports/resources, and interfere with the use of technology in the classrooms. The result of this study showed that the faculty members feel that technology education is important and that they feel encouraged to use computer technology and need more support in using technology in the classrooms. This study will contribute to confirm leaders at each of sites used for the project in order that staff development and the purchase of equipment are purposeful and directed.
