Research

One hundred and two case studies relating to integrating information technology into the classroom were analyzed using logistic regression. The purpose of this procedure was to generate a statistical model that would reflect the significant components present in successful case studies. In order to accomplish this, we identified instructional components that were common to all case studies. Through this process, we identified six instructional components that we labeled: Use of Software, Use of Web-Based Instruction, Use of Web Information Resources, Use of Problem-Based Learning, Instructional Design Choice, and Tailoring Multimedia Courseware. These six instructional components 4 were considered variables in the statistical analysis. Three of the six variables were statistically significant and were incorporated in the model (Le., Use of Software, Use of Problem-Based Learning, and Instructional Design Choice). We recommend this model in teacher training in order for teachers to be prepared to successfully integrate information technology into the classroom. Suggestions are offered for further investigation and refinement of this model. [Article copies available for a fee from The Haworth Document Delivery Service: 1-800-342-9678.
