Paradigm of Factors That Affect the Use Of.The Computer as an Instructional Medium

In tryihg to find a base for analyzing the lack of acceptance of the computer as an instructional medium, the writer found no adequate research or theory.base available. Therefore, this research set out to create a basis for finding the reason or reasons for the lack of acceptance of the computer. In the process of developing the questionnaire, a paradigm to describe the factors affecting computer use as an instructional medium was produced. This paradigm provides a basis for developing a theory of inhibitions in its most general sense. In a more limited sense, it can serve to detect whether teachers in a school system are likely to use the computer or not. This dissertation presents a rough outline and start on the paradigm in Chapter I. Chapter II presents the.literature from which the paradigm is developed. The third chapter summarizes the literature and presents the interview schedule. Chapter IV reports the case studies that were developed from the interviews. Chapter V contains a summary of the interview results and a presentation of the improved paradigm. Chapter VI presents the development of the questionnaire including its relation to the interviews and the paradigm. The last chapter includes a summary of the dissertation, implications of the research, and recommendations that resulted from this research.Educational Administratio
