Abstract

This study investigated technology-using teachers' beliefs in relation to their instructional technology practices to describe how teachers' beliefs (student-centered and teacher-centered) and teachers' attitudes toward technology related to their instructional technology practices. Using multiple sources of data, four case studies (two with student-centered and two with teacher-centered beliefs) were conducted to portray how teachers with similar and different beliefs are likely to integrate instructional technologies. The overall findings of the case study analysis indicate that teachers' instructional technology practices, specifically for student use, were substantially related to (1) teachers' beliefs about teaching and technology and (2) the contextual conditions in their teaching environments.
