[[alternative]]Factors Affecting Teachers’ Use of Technology in Teaching: A case study

[[abstract]]This study investigated factors which affected teachers’ implementation of technology-integrated teaching. Three K-12 teachers with successful technology integration experiences were selected as the cases of the study. For each case, factors were explored from two perspectives: external factors, including equipment, teaching materials, time, policy, administration, colleagues, and technical support; and internal factors, including teacher’s willingness, technology capability, teaching belief, and professional development. A questionnaire, interviews with the case teachers and their colleagues, and classroom observations were organized to collect data from the cases. The data analysis results showed that equipment, teaching materials, time, willingness, and technology capabilities were the common factors that affected the three case teachers’ use of technology in their teaching; while policy, administration, colleagues, and technical support had less effect on their use. Suggestions for promoting teachers’ implementation of technology integrated teaching were provided.
